My car was in the first batch, so it got the under seat drawers, 12V power in the boot and factory parking sensors in the rear.

early model also (feb 2010) I got the drawers under the seat ( although i really belive the seats sit to high in the lowest setting :[ as i most definately not comfortable will never need the sunvisor and its a comfortline ??????, believe it maybe due to the clearance needed to fit the draws,) got the 12v power in the boot also , but had to pay for a dealer fitted supposedly genuine reverse parking sensors, has anyone else has dealer fitted genuine park sensors? are they connected to the canbus or just a cheap beeper unit stuffed into the rear left near the reverse light?, need to know as I am quiering the cost vs genuine with the dealer as I belive its pretty crappy for the price and if it is genuine VW have way overpriced a $2 unit ( also they didnt even mount the ultrasonics where the mounting markings are moulded on the inside of the bumper? satisfied = NOT

Mad, I am considering getting the dealer fitted reverse parking sensors installed; if you could post a picture of your back bumper and show me what they look like it would be greatly appreciated [We ordered the same colour and model as you]. By the way do you have the RCD510? If so, were they able to hook up the sensors to give you a picture like comes on the ones that were factory fitted.

By the way, I don't think the drawers add any height to the seat as the ones without them fitted still have the cavity for them to be installed, they just have a blank plates stuck at the front.

Why reversing sensors on a Polo? Doesn't strike me as big enough to warrant them. (Note: I've recently been driving a Suburban in the USA and can see why you'd need it on a BIG car).

Wonder if they can be ordered/retrofitted? My wife's Peugeot 307 Touring has them. Very hand for some stuff. Especially with a sticky mat on the bottom to stop things sliding.

What do you guys think of this VW badge?

My Polo is black so it might look alright... Not sure though...

I have the RCD510, so when you engage reverse it shows a picture of the rear of the car and the distance each individual sensor is away from an object.

The RCD510 is excellent and so easy to use.

This is my complaint the reversing sensors dont hook up to anything other than a $2 box wired to the reverse light thats it, they do not connect to the canbus or the RCD, the beep sound is not directional IE not to the side were the sensor is close to an object, it is just a beep in the left hand rear corner only no matter which sensor is detecting an object, there for i dont believe this so called Genuine system could connect to the canbus or rcd for any processing, the real genuine sensors do connect to the can bus and if the right numbers are enabled in the software I believe will give the display on the RCD, this is the only VW i have ever been in that has this single beep system which is why i am questioning if its genuine VW, (we only have the rcd310 but still should be able to connect to it)

will add pics when i learn how

I noticed that in Great Britain you can now option the Bi-Xenon lights (as per the GTI) onto Standard Polo's! When will we get this here?

[Hail22]

probably in the My12 as the 11.5 specs has been released.

[Corey_R]

I completely doubt it.
In the UK you've been able to option them on standard Golf's for ages... yet they've never been available here. Can't see it happening on a Polo before it happens on a Golf.
There are many, many, options and stuff available on overseas models which we don't get here!
