Auto-Polar FIS+ Advanced - Complete Guide

[Ryan_R]

I like how they often say the FIS doesn't have anything to do with bluetooth when we post problems but now sure enough there are fixes for it.

lol lost in translation perhaps? im glad the product is slowly developing.

I should do a 0-100 myself. im guessing it doesn't know theres wheelspin, so the time may be a little incorrect

Wheelspin will only effect 0-400m (distance) not the 0-100 (time). FIS+ just starts the timer when it detects that you have started and stops the timer when you get to the preset speed (100). That is unles you're wheel-spinning up to 100km/hr...

I've got my car booked in for some more mods and wanted to get a pre and post tune result.

I did a couple of runs and was within .001 so whether that's luck or just really good driving I'm not sure

ahh yes of course, how silly of me not to think of that! lol

good call!

I might try some on the way home. what times did you get?

Times as per video - 7.8sec without launch control and with a/c and stereo going

Or very consistent bad driving

ahhh DSG, perfecting our gearshifts

[tigger73]

Yes keeps things repeatable. And no crunching gears/missed shifts.

Just a quick update on my unit falling to sleep when I locked the car - turns out either the wiring harness or the 'box of tricks' was faulty. Excellent response from the Polar website. A big thanks to Damien for sending out a brand new unit and a return post pack. Top service kind sir.

[tigger73]

Thanks Orzram for your kind words. Though if I'd paid money for something I'd want it to work properly too.

Hopefully you get many hours of motoring enjoyment out of it

Was browsing through my Gmail spam and saw an email for a thread update on the AutoPolar forums. Clicked it, and Google complained that the website now contains malware. Anyone else getting this?

I would only assume it's to do with the uncertified ActiveX control on the update page (which wouldn't even work in Google Chrome anyway).

Works fine for me with no malware using FireFox 18.0.2 and IE 7

Check your anti virus is not geting false positive updates

Yes Auto-Polar updater only works with ie not chrome or Mozilla. And yes have to enable unsigned active-x.
I updated last week with no issues.

Google warnings don't have anything to do with local antivirus on your PC.

The warning is gone now anyway, maybe their certificate expired and they've just replaced it with a new one.

This photo from Transporter, Golf MKVI, is very similar to what you will find in the Skoda Octavia II 2011/2012
Note however, the gateway cable has a security lock and it's on the back, tricky



The 3.3 firmware did not work with my Octavia - upgraded to 3.4W and all good
However my VCDS no longer works (cable does get a green LED - still looking into this problem) even when I turn the Polar FIS off
