Polo settings programmable by dealer

Not having a dig, but still don't understand why people want to turn them off when it prevent flogs from running into you by clearly having a huge safety benefit (study unertaken in the US is why so many manufacturers are now doing it).

Aside from that, you can't see them anyway when you're driving the car....

Just like to know people's reasoning behind why they would like them not to function....

And the NRMA did a study two years back ... Same result = DRL add margin of safety

Don't know why, but the feature I would like most on my Polo GTI is the dancing needles on ignition!

Also the alarm beeping when locking/unlocking... Very handy if you push the lock button once you've already walked around the corner...

click through to youtube to watch the video and the uploader says it is a GTI tacho built into his normal Polo 6R.. So I guess it is possible

as I found out the hard way, be careful when installing the GTI tacho.
I did, and the ABS coding simply disappeared?!?! giving ABS, Traction Control and Tire Pressure fault codes on dash. And since that section of coding is locked VCDS wasn't able to help.
The car has gotten a full reset through an internet connection between my dealer and VW Germany.
If you somehow can bypass this problem (might just have been my tacho missing the coding, because it came of a test vehicle? and normal new tacho's do still have this coding?) The dealer will have to set your mileage and enable all the keys to re-enable the startlock system.

The car is fixed now but still no working GTI tacho.. thinking of taking my losses and selling it again

Ouch Dave - that would have bricked me - your a brave man. Recon I'll stick to the 77 dash and spend my money and time on those DRL's and whiter headlights,

1 alarm beep when locking car
2 beeps on unlocking

I think I am going to get this turned off, its a full horn beep, pretty loud actually.

[PoloDave]

forgot to mention, for those without the original alarm, the horn will beep instead
