OBD port

[hkogti]

The one udnerneath the right hand side of the steering wheel is the obd port right?

Anyone know that the greddy infometer will work on VW's OBD port?

Dont bother wasting your money on the Greddy one. Just purchase a ScanGauge II. It does the same thing as the Greddy and plugs directly into your ODBII port. You can also customise several VW specific settings such as Transmission Temp (if you purchase one with the X-Gauge function). The ScanGaugeII's are about $160 from eBay and other outlets, which I'm sure is far cheaper than the Greddy one which I last saw retailing for $320.

Here is a picture of my ScanGaugeII in my car. The LCD display can display 4 functions at a time but the colour doesnt fully match the stock LED's, but they're pretty close.

Park = P
Handbrake pulled up = Locked

My handbrake light is the one you can see in the top right of your speedo near the engine light. Is that part of the car or is that part of the gauge you added?

You're so funny that I forgot how to laugh

Why is everyone so ****in uptight around here?

[hkogti]

Too much time researching, testing, spent money and knowing several owners of mod shops. Always search for alternatives! The Greddy works but it's far too obvious (from theft) and costly (for doing the same job).

You can also purchase several mounts for the ScanGaugeII's. There's one that mounts on top of your mirror, and several other mounts you can purchase from the net.

I'm working on a custom mount that sits directly in front of the dash cluster. So imagine the Scangauge sitting dead centre under under the 'P Locked' LCD display, but integrated

Nor do I - I thought maybe you had a Polo auto but your sig says 6spd manual & GTI (????).

So what's the go - why do I not have the special Parked symbol?

[hkogti]

His polo is the new 6 speed polo, thats y he have the later shift display...

[Flaps]

hahaha Why doesn't my manual GTI have a P for parked symbol?????

Why is everyone so ****in uptight around here?

It's always been that way

[Grant]

its a 6 speed automatic... most autos have a vertical display which highlights your gear selection
4 speeds look like this:

P
R
N
D
2
1

I think the Polo must be one of the few cars in the world in which the conventional auto transmission actually has more gears than the manual (certain Nissans with CVT transmissions don't count...)

"Locked" shows up on the screen whenever a MiG or SU-27 behind you has missle lock on you so you can take evasive action or release chaffs (lit ciggy or something...)

I'll say it, he doesn't have a GTI, and he thinks you're having a go at him for it.
