What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[readerr0r]

My Kufatec kit arrived, meaning I now have this!



Note that you do need the Comfort Pack, Xenons and VCDS for it to work plus you will need to be familiar with de-pinning car plugs (to get one pin I had to insert two needles into two tiny holes whilst upside down - this was the bcm connector no less) but it's very rewarding seeing it all work at the end. You also get Coming/Leaving Home, but only Leaving Home (unlock) is working for me at the moment.

EDIT: Coming Home works by tapping the high beam after removing the key but before opening the door

There is also a DIY version which doesn't require any tricky de-pinning but does need some soldering/wiring skills.

It's also a good read because it explains how to get to the BCM connector better. Note that you can also pop out the BCM and remove it when you unplug it

Yeah it gives you automatic lights and coming/leaving home

Here's a video of the leaving home Polo 6R GTI: Leaving home function - YouTube

Sweeeet!! How long did it take you overall and can it be done by a not-so-technical person?

Depends, it's fairly easy getting the pins out of the OEM headlight switch with a bobby pin but getting the pins out of the BCM connector is pretty tricky (and the manual doesn't tell you how to). The auto/LH function still works if you don't take out the two Pins in the BCM connector but your fog lights won't work. So you could always do that first?

Took about 4 hours and some sore knees and some minced hands

Over here, if you have the switch for the foglights in your car, they MUST work or it won't get its road-approval, not that I have ever used them though..

Does the kit from cufatec cover all the nessessery ingredients or do you still have to buy some parts? (except tape) Got VCDS already.

Thnx

Yeah other than tools (Bobby pin, Trim removal kit etc.) the Kufatec has all the bits you need.

Heres the manual to get an idea of whats involved. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...xClURCEaw/edit
