What do you love about your Polo?

[Hilal]

Ah yes, true.

[Servo]

You'd be surprised on how cheap the premiums are.

I paid under $1k a year full comprehensive with JustCar at 22yo with my WRX, now I'm 25 and I'm paying $425 a year full comp on the Polo.

I'd expect a MY06-07 STi around the $1k mark for me.

Which insurance company did you go with?

JustCar.

I've used them for nearly 5 years now, always been the cheapest for sports cars.

[Ralfi]

break,

What's your excess with that premium?

I'm loving how when I notice another black GTI on the road that it looks better every time I see it.

Does anyone know if you can close the windows with the remote like the MK5, when you lock the car


Maybe you can program it somehow

Apparently we can't, the programming doesn't allow it - was talking to a few brisbane guys about it last night. I don't know the specifics as to why though.

98% sure the Pogo's can't have that programmed in. The closest thing we have is operating the windows from the door lock.

edit: ^beaten to it

[jesum]

is it possible to program the door open sensor in the car?

unfortunately, from where i come from, the polo gtis that we get do not have this. if we leave one door slightly open, the only way we'd know is by the 'feel' of additional sound or air pressure differences when driving - quite dangerous, i know!

[pomme]

Doesn't the center interior light come on when the door is open?

Yes, make sure the switch is set for it though. It has 3 settings ... on/off/door open.

I think it can be done, because the "comfort module" (I think this is how its called) is installed on the polo - the one that let you close/open the windows from the door lock.

It is done usually by modifying some values in the eeprom:

like this (the qoute is from someone who did it on his Seat Leon - but the procedure should be similiar - maybe just with different addresses and values)

Is neccessary the software vds-pro with all extra fuction enabled.

If your vag number in 46-comfort is 1C0 959 799 F or 1C0 959 799 E
surely this procedure will serve to you (if it is other i dont now
if it work) :

1º Enter to module "46 - Comfort".

2º Enter "11 - login" with the login 19283

3º Enter "27 - Write eprom"
Direction 04361
Celula 002

4º Enter "27 - Write eprom"
Direction 04362
Celula 002

5º Enter "27 - Write eprom"
Direction 04363
Celula 002

Or you can use a module specially made for this adaptation - like this one:

Automatic Windows Roll Up / Down Flash Module

* A OBD flash module to enable automatic window roll up & down by remote key fob like those featured in Audi
* This OBD module will flash new coding into the comfort module in a minute to enable the function
* Only 1C0 / 6Q0 control modules compatible
* Work on 2000-2005 Golf MK4, Jetta / Bora MK4, Polo 9N, New Beetle, Passat B5 / B5.5
* The feature is not able to be coded via VAG-COM
* Installation instruction supplied

Wow, excellent find RoSonic!

Might buy one of those, could possibly loan it out to people to use for a small fee

EDIT: Have just done some research on those one-time flash modules, and apparenly they permanently lock you out of programming your CCM after using them. People recommend using a generic OBD11 cable and some software called 'VDS-pro'. I'm looking into it now.

[Blitzen]

I can do it in my car.

I've heard too about that "locking" after using that kind of module.

But it should be safe with vds-pro... Here in Romania there are people that do that coding (free or for a small fee) to activate windows roll up function and some other functions like autolocking...

Have you changed anything to enable this?
