Boost data in MFD

[tigger73]

Does anyone know how to get some other useful data from the engine into the MFD? I'd like to get boost pressure and tyre pressure would be neat (but don't know if this is achievable).
Saw there was an option with kufatec BT but I've already got a 9w7 and not really looking to change.Is there any other way?

The Polar FIS can do it. They've just added support for the White cluster screen

Groan... - damn you readerr0r , I just ordered a Polar FIS Advanced as it sounded cool - mirror drop on reverse too…

I'll do a post when I install it...

I wish I never clicked that link

somehow, my computer created an account and paid for an FIS advanced. no idea how!

[readerr0r]

Haha yeah I was doomed too. I was just going to post a link saying they were developing it and then I realized they released it a few hours beforehand! I ordered mine in a heart beat, hat tip to you tigger73 for having me check.

Here are some videos of it in action for the curious...

Don't forget that you'll need to update the unit to the new firmware before putting it in.

Ps. Torque, boost and lateral G look fun

USB port makes upgrades easy. gotta love these guys for thinking in advance.

instructions make installation look fairly straight forward

EDIT: 1.5 hrs after ordering, its shipped with tracking number.

Wow looks great, hope you guys show some English videos when they arrive

Not sure where'd I'd stick mine if I went for it.

That looks pretty cool! I would grab one if it worked with my half-height MFD

Damn you all and your shiny toys. I have now ordered one of the advanced units too Looking forward to having a play in the very near future...

[tigger73]

Thanks for the link. Will add this to the list. Good to see they support white MFD now.

Damn ... I don't think I have any more room left inside the dash to fit this gadget in as well!

Would be impressed if somehow this unit manages to get the mirror dipping in reverse to work in the Tig.

would b cool if it also displayed on the headunit

AFAIK the unit doesn't install into the dash, it goes behind your OBDII port. It intercepts the OBDII signal that's how it gets the info.

Edit: My bad, the old Polar tapped the stereo, this new one taps the gateway

Well, that is at least 4 sales here…

Seeing the PolarFIS layout does make you wonder why VW didn't put more data in each screen so you didn't have to keep scrolling through the options. More than enough room to show the range, inst and average fuel consumption together for example...
