Boost data in MFD

[tigger73]

FedEx man just turned up at my house...

Can you let us know which seller you bought your unit from? movitel, polarteam or one of the other resellers?

Delivery was pretty quick. Looks like there's a couple of units getting installed shortly.

I bought it from Polarteam (the online shop on the original website).

Also an install thread with lots of pics over here:

ok, i collected mine and went straight home to install!

our gateway is in a different position (in the octavia), and its a little bit of a PITA to get to. but not impossible. i took photos.

i got it all installed, thankfully i didnt put it all back together again. it worked, but then locked the MFD. im guessing because i have the factory bluetooth module using the 'phone' menu already, when i select it - locks up with some information from the FIS advanced. also gives me a whole load of errors that i had to reset via VCDS.

i enabled the item in the gateway as per the installation instructions. didnt fix it

The_Hawk, yours seemed to work. do you have satnav and/or factory bluetooth? and if so, which one?

i have an RNS510, MDI and 9WZ(whatever the factory one is) BT module

Yep, I have both Nav and Bluetooth. Did you upgrade the firmware in the device first??

I didn't have to do any install through VCDS for mine... All automatic

yup upgraded to latest version - while talking about upgrades. what a good way of upgrading!

i tried with and without vcds programming. neither work. maybe my car has something newer?

anyway ill post in their forum and put a VCDS log.

glad yours worked first go!

You loaded the White firmware too? There's a Red and White verision.

Also some Skodas have White backlit screens which are actually Red units. So you may actually need the Red firmware

[zei20t]

yes of course

turns out there is a new firmware literally just released. ive upgraded it, ill try installing again tomorrow. hope its not raining!

This is what the white (but actually red) screen looks like. You can tell it apart from the true white screen because of the little arrow at the top left.

I hope you didn't have VCDS going at the same time. The Autopolar FIS and VCDS will conflict if you're trying to view the autopolar data at the same time as reading with VCDS. Both devices will try and control the bus. You can either have one or other operate but not both at once.

It sounds like this (or something similar) may be what's happening in your car.

bummer ... shame I dont have a car that will take this device anymore

anyhow... saw that some bits of the website is missing translations (translated in italics from Spanish) my community service

18 // Presión bomba combustible requerida (fuel pressure setpoint)
19 // Presión bomba combustible medida (fuel pressure at pump)
20 // Presión en rail de combustible (fuel pressure at rail)
21 // Presión pedal freno?? (brake pressure at pedal??)
22 // Presión bomba freno?? (brake pressure at abs pump??)

I have an MY12 RS Octavia, its the white/colour screen.

yeah ive been reading the forums on there with problems other people have been having. ill try again tomorrow morning. might be a loose/faulty cable. ill meter them all out to make sure there is connectivity.

might be due to the octavia wheel controls. we have wheels instead of buttons for volume and menu up/down. i guess 'OK' is pushing the wheel.

You got rid of the B7 already?

[FSI 220]

I just was given the opportunity to walk away from my Novated TOT lease (lost nothing).... bought an NC1 MX5 to run around in whilst a new role settles down and I work out my fixed term contract... all good...

The DSG didn't fall out of it or nuthing the car was perfect ...

[tigger73]

I bought it from Polarteam (the online shop on the original website).

Not that you probably want to know about it now, however I found that you can purchase cheaper through Movitel - Polar FIS+ Advanced PF03 Interface [Upgradeable by USB] .

Including express DHL freight works out to EUR232 / AUD$284. This is the best deal available that I could find from the Autopolar resellers. You can save a few $ on freight by purchasing in quantity (though this doesn't reduce the unit price).

My god a whole thread about this Reverse mirror option..... I have it without using this module......its called using vcds and going into central convience and activating it via that......the only condition is u need rear parking sensors(factory) to be ale to do it. Nothing to do with seats......the rear parking sensor module actually sends out the signal to the mirror when activated by the reverse gear lever,
