Auto-Polar FIS+ Advanced - Complete Guide

Thanks for the reply.... which one is fuse24? I couldn't find a fuse map in the manual or online easily... (Golf VI R)

Thats interesting what you say about radio not turning off as i noticed that, when i pulled up and turned off the car the radio stayed on, i just hit the power switch on volume knob to turn it off...

F24 is in the fuse holder next to the battery in your engine bay (i.e. not inside the cabin).

Yes if you ever get this happening this is a give-away that things are not OK with the Auto-Polar. If you don't want a flat battery you must switch off your radio manually (like old school).

Ahh thanks!

I was looking inside cabin for fuse. Found it under bonnet easily. Pulled it for 15sec, put it back, closed bonnet and boom fixed...

So is this a normal thing? How often does it happen? Any patterns as to why it happens?

So i need to make sure radio is turning off when I get out of the car...

It has happened to me once in around 9 months and I'm aware of a few others that this has happened to also.

There are regular firmware updates and generally the later firmware should be more stable.

If you haven't updated your firmware for a while and it happens again, then I'd suggest updating your firmware first.

If it keeps happening then log a fault on the autopolar forum. The developers will then look into it and hopefully have a fix in the next firmware release.

Cool once in 9 months isn't bad, hopefully i was just unlucky... I'll keep an eye on it.

What's the difference between "Boost" and "!Boost" ?

Also i'm not convinced the Exhaust temp is reading correct, can someone else check that?

! Does not mean not!
One is requested the other is actual.

With exhaust you have to compare with VCDS and what is labelled for your ecu code. Other wise have an external temp gauge to compare it with. Post your engine code so someone else with same ecu can compare your temps.

I know I have a few egt and cat temps that don't seem correct and can only put it down to mixed up labeling of the temp due to having a uncommon ecu - something I have to verify with VCDS.

Well time has come to say goodbye (from this thread at least).

I've run a number of group buys for the AutoPolar FIS+ over the last 9 months or so and there's quite a few forum members that now have one of these units installed in their cars.

I'm now handing the reigns for AutoPolar locally to another supplier (another forum member) which will give me some time for other ventures.

If anyone still wants a unit I have one left, however after that you'll either need to order from the AutoPolar online shop or from the new local supplier (I'll let them introduce themselves ).

Thanks to everyone for your support and understanding when things didn't go 100% to plan.

I'll still be about the place and will continue to update my build thread with the latest Tig mods... but it's now time to start a new chapter with some new challenges.

Thanks heaps everyone - it's been fun.

Thanks a ton for all your efforts and hard work Damien - I, and I'm sure many other members - sincerely appreciate it!

Thanks Adam.

Hopefully people have got some use out of the write-ups here as there's often some major differences in location of the CANbus gateway from LHD to RHD.

Also if anyone does one of these installs into a Passat, Scirocco or EOS I'm happy to update the posts at the start with the install guide for these models.

It's been fun but now time to move onto other things.

I'm assuming !Boost is requested and Boost is actual?
The !Boost i see in negative values (which is kind of what i expected due to vacuum), but the Boost value seems more realistic.. although holding 2-3psi while cruising on a flat freeway at 100-110k/h is a bit suprising... I wouldn't expect any boost pressure when cruising like that... Is that an inaccurate reading? I'm noticing about 18psi when on full boost with maybe a spike to 19-20 on the way... I assume thats normal for standard golf R?

As for Engine Code, do you mean my Engine ECU code? I grabbed it from the info screen on the AutoPolar - 1K8907115D01F ...

Damien - I'm only new to this thread and Autopolar but thanks as well
