Auto-Polar FIS+ Advanced - Complete Guide

If the unit stays on, and you manually turn off with power button. Will that still result in a drained battery as it might not be fully off?

Its not a massive issue for me, it takes 20 seconds to remove the unit to reset. Just wondering if it happened next time I could leave it like that for a while if i didnt have time to fix immediately.

If you turn off your head unit you should be OK but I wouldn't leave it for an extended time. I suspect your BT unit may also still remain "active", though this will have a lot lower power draw than your RCD/RNS510 head unit.

If you were only going 10 minutes it's not going to be an issue, however if you're going to leave it a couple of days I'd say definitely reset the autopolar and get everything switching off properly.

Keep an eye on it. If it happens again I'd definitely log it with the autopolar guys.

silly question, but have you updated to the latest firmware?

Yes I usually do update as the firmware gets released - mainly so that if there are any issues I find out about them first!

0.3.8 seems fine. There's not a heap of improvements in it for existing users - most to do with Italian language parameter descriptions and AD-Blue filling if you're running a diesel.

Here's details anyway:


***** Improvements / Update description for RED cluster *****

[+] Solved issue that causes Enabling of RNS510 hidden menu not available in some units
[+] Added support for 3C8-035-730-C BT unit in BT emulation and minor improvements
[+] Added support for RNS310/315 and Bolero units in Climatronic and Parktronic Emulation
[+] Solved issues with Parktronic emulation in some non-Skoda vehicles
[+] Added support for more than 400 new TP Engine ECUS
[+] Added new parameter AD-Blue filling
[+] Improved italian text translations



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

[+] Solved issue that causes Enabling of RNS510 hidden menu not available in some units
[+] Added support for more than 400 new TP Engine ECUS
[+] Added new parameter AD-Blue filling
[+] Improved italian text translations

Damien - any advance warning from Autopolar on new functionality? Seems like mostly compatibility / bug fix at the moment...

Thanks

No they keep me in the dark too.

Generally it goes 1) bug fix 2) product enhancement 3) new product R&D

We've only been getting minor revisions to date 0.3.x -> 0.3.x+1

I'm not sure what is coming in 0.4.0 but something tells me it might be HUGE!!!

Ok. I saw someone made a good suggestion on a split screen - a way to have a large number (selected gear) and two smaller, all on same screen.

[tigger73]

Yeah the gear selector screen probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Though as soon as you change the display set-up it means more configuration. Obviously the large display format can be done as per the current speed display in the "normal" MFD.

We'll have to wait and see.

I am almost certain if you have full height MFD this will work.

It works in both Mk5&6 Golfs with either red/white/colour MFD though must be full height. I don't believe there will be a major change in the electrics for the cabriolet so it should work the same.

If you want to be 100% sure, you can post a VCDS auto-scan on the Auto-Polar forum and the developers can determine from the hardware you have installed if it is compatible or not with your vehicle.

I don't think there is a cabriolet with an AutoPolar installed in Australia - mainly because there's not that many cabriolets!

Seems like we still have a a few "gaps" in the install guides.

Anyone willing to do an install and write-up (take a few photos along the way) into a Passat, Eos or Scirocco I'll offer $10 off and free shipping.
