Boost data in MFD

Damn ... I don't think I have any more room left inside the dash to fit this gadget in as well!

Would be impressed if somehow this unit manages to get the mirror dipping in reverse to work in the Tig.

AFAIK the unit doesn't install into the dash, it goes behind your OBDII port. It intercepts the OBDII signal that's how it gets the info.

Edit: My bad, the old Polar tapped the stereo, this new one taps the gateway

Well, that is at least 4 sales here…

Seeing the PolarFIS layout does make you wonder why VW didn't put more data in each screen so you didn't have to keep scrolling through the options. More than enough room to show the range, inst and average fuel consumption together for example...

Yes, I will be interested to see this as well...

It just changes the coding value, nothing the VCDS can't do. If the function is available to be turned on in your car then it will work.

Why not start a group buy since there's so much interest?

It actually seems to do it itself.

"What is the function of mirrors down ?

Advanced Polar FIS can be configured to engage on selection of the reverse gear for the passenger mirror to dip down automatically to a preset position. There are 2 modes: Manual and Automatic.
In manual the mirror will lower only if the passenger position “L” is selected.
In automatic, the mirror will be lowered only when the car is parked with the indicator directed towards the space.

NOTE: Due to construction features of vehicles it cannot be guaranteed that mirror position will be "perfect". On models equipped with this function from factory the mirror incorporate a position sensor, which does not happen with those without park assist mirrors, so the mirror will function in the same way, but can not be guaranteed to position "millimeter perfect"."

Yeah I was thinking the same, see what sort of discount is available

So you're saying even for cars without the function available, the unit is able to tell the electric mirrors to dip down a set amount on reverse?

I'm also curious about the claimed comfort indicator settings. I thought even with VCDS, the number of flashes can only be adjusted in newer models, something like 2010+, and then only between 1-5. Polar FIS claims it can adjust up to 10 flashes and also switch off the comfort indicator if you tap the indicator again while it's flashing. These are things that VCDS couldn't do, so that's interesting.
