Fuel Consumption Parameters in FIS+

A number of people have asked about getting fuel consumption figures displayed in the FIS+, as it's currently only availabkle in the MFD info screen.

Unfortunately as it turns out it's not a parameter that is available from the ECU. Instead these values are calculated in the MFD and the trip reset button is for the trip and averages in the MFD. THe Auto-Polar guys don't believe there is a way to extract this data from the MFD - at least not in the same way as you can read from the ECU.

So this is not a simple exercise of reading a parameter and displaying it. Raw data will have to be read and calculations performed in the FIS+. As for average fuel consumption data this will require a trip meter of some sorts with a user reset function. It is all possible but requires a lot more effort/development/testing than just reading another parameter from the ECU.

So thought I'd just post this as it has been asked for a number of times. The autopolar guys have looked at it, however at this stage I don't think there's an easy way around the problem other than for them to write a completely separate trip/fuel computer inside the FIS+.

Sorry for the long answer but hopefully you can now understand/appreciate that it's not a simple thing to implement. If it was I'm sure the Auto-Polar guys would have done it a while ago as it has been requested a number of times.

Who knows it may get put into 0.3.6 with any luck!!!

[+] Improved compatibility for white dot handsfree ecus with Seat steering wheels.
[+] Portuguese texts improved.
[+] Improved text of parameter FUEL LITERS, now indicated Gallons or Liters.
[+] Improved intake temperature reading.
[+] Added one touch opening. to activate go to Polar FIS configuration menu, and then CONFORT->ONE TOUCH OPEN.
[+] Added auto closing windows.. to activate go to Polar FIS configuration menu, and then CONFORT->AUTO CLOSING. Enabling it, after passed the programmed time from car closed, the windows will close automatically.

[+] General software stability improved



***** Improvements / Update description for WHITE and COLOR cluster *****

[+] Added Parktronic screen in FIS. To activate go to Polar FIS configuration menú and then CONFORT->PARKTRONIC FIS. Enabling it, when you activate the Parktronic, if you+re showing the Polar FIS main screen, it will automatically change to a screen which shows the value of parktronic sensors.
[+] Added Factory reset in Polar FIS configuration menu
[+] Portuguese texts improved.
[+] Improved text of parameter FUEL LITERS, now indicated Gallons or Liters.
[+] Improved intake temperature reading.
[+] Improved mirror lowering function in automatic mode
[+] Added support for engine ecus: 5L0-907-115-D and 03H-906-032-GF
[+] General software stability improved

The two new Parktronic functions include:

1) Parktronic in Fis (no need for RNS510)
2) OPS in RNS510 All Brands not only Skoda

Here's a video of the first function to see how it works:

I was talking about auto-closing on sensing rain.... not cats

[Martin]

My cat jumped into the car, I remotely closed the window
The look on it's face looking out of the now closed window was priceless (what am I gonna do now?)

[Ryan_R]

Same here - I time the window opening just as someone else is about to walk past to freak 'em out

[Martin]

I prefer to have manual control by holding lock/unlock on the key fob (i.e I'll often get out of the car, hold unlock to open all windows a smidge, then lock the car).

I do that also - they are always closed when I return to the car after work
(This is prior to installing the Polar FIS)

I love using the key to fully open the windows before reaching the car - really useful
Hate openning the door and getting a blast of hot air

[Martin]

Yes it doesn't matter where your mirror selector switch is set (so I believe). As soon as you have reverse gear and your indicator going the mirror will dip.

Yeah - that does not work for me at all - hence using manual mode at present

[Ryan_R]

Isn't there a normal MFD setting for that - or it's at least available via VCDS. I prefer to have manual control by holding lock/unlock on the key fob (i.e I'll often get out of the car, hold unlock to open all windows a smidge, then lock the car).

[tigger73]

They're mirrors, silly

Aaaaahhhh yes good pick-up

I'm still trying to get the auto window closing function going though.... tried a couple of times but no success.

[tigger73]

ahhh indicator and reverse is 'auto'! thank for you that. ill set mine to auto

Yes it doesn't matter where your mirror selector switch is set (so I believe). As soon as you have reverse gear and your indicator going the mirror will dip.

I'm using manual mode as I find it useful to have the mirror dipping when reversing out the driveway.... and I don't want to have the indicator on while doing this

[zei20t]

Window dipping in automatic mode only works when you have the indicator on i.e. when reverse parallel parking.
I haven't played around with the trim much. The offset changes the position the mirror returns to. If you find it returns too high/low you can adjust the return position up or down using the offset value.

[tigger73]

Window dipping?

Haven't you got it going yet? Certainly works in the Tigs and GTI's
