Autopolar FIS+ Advanced Install

[Ryan_R]

It's just VIM (video in motion - DVD) afaik, which is already also enabled in my firmware.

So I get in the car this morning, no diag screen, no speed limit display, and the reverse camera screen is back. I had already tried restarting the car last night without success (key out, didn't open the door though).

Weird.

Great, now you've doomed Adam into spending more money

I think that's Aaron (The_Hawk) you're referring to there?

Please do report these issues to the Autopolar guys. Hopefully they can sort them out and provide new firmware updates! (I'm holding out on installing mine until we get past these occasional glitches... I tend to avoid being an early adopter if I can help it! )

+1 on letting them know. they are quick to fix things.

Adam, just do it, you know you want to

Remove the autopolar and try start the car without it. If it doesn't start the chances are that you need to reprogram the can bus.

Same happened to me on the new firmware. Didn't happen on the previous. Had to disconnect the battery to reset the FIS. Probably could have just removed a fuse.

Why'd you quote all the pictures again?


More driving today and the reverse camera display was intermittently available between trips.

However on the way home on the freeway it gets worse. At first I'm trying to access the blutooth menu to view my address book on the MFD, but it's not showing up. Then I see a message appear on the RNS510 saying "can't climate information at this time", then all of the MFD screens disappear, so that I'm left with only the main one and the settings page (audio, bluetooth, and nav screens gone). Media keys on the steering wheel not working. If I turn the car off the RNS510 stays on, I have to turn it off myself.

When I arrived back to work I quickly fired up the laptop to make sure all of those items were still ticked as installed. They are, but the 19 - Gateway control module has faults and I can't access many of the other modules.

I'll have to wait until I get home to go digging for the FIS box (can't see how it would just disconnect) so I guess I have to assume it's stuffed???

Hoping I can access it via James' method as there's no way I want to be going via the bonnet again.

[zei20t]

I think you may have a loose wire, or need to upgrade the firmware again. youre doing the online upgrade right?

there should be 0.3.1 white/colour available for you.

[Ryan_R]

I had it packed in pretty good with no tight cable kinks so hard to imagine how it would just disconnect while on the freeway. I updated the firmware to 3.x White on Wednesday 28 Nov just before installing it. It's been relatively fine since then.

btw I've only ever used the online update tool - where's the offline firmware available from?

[Ryan_R]

Connected the USB cable to attempt an upgrade but it says device not found. So either multiple cables have unplugged themselves from the FIS or the unit has kicked the bucket already.
