Boost data in MFD

[zei20t]

This is what the white (but actually red) screen looks like. You can tell it apart from the true white screen because of the little arrow at the top left.

I have an MY12 RS Octavia, its the white/colour screen.

I hope you didn't have VCDS going at the same time. The Autopolar FIS and VCDS will conflict if you're trying to view the autopolar data at the same time as reading with VCDS. Both devices will try and control the bus. You can either have one or other operate but not both at once.

It sounds like this (or something similar) may be what's happening in your car.

yeah ive been reading the forums on there with problems other people have been having. ill try again tomorrow morning. might be a loose/faulty cable. ill meter them all out to make sure there is connectivity.

might be due to the octavia wheel controls. we have wheels instead of buttons for volume and menu up/down. i guess 'OK' is pushing the wheel.

You got rid of the B7 already?

My god a whole thread about this Reverse mirror option..... I have it without using this module......its called using vcds and going into central convience and activating it via that......the only condition is u need rear parking sensors(factory) to be ale to do it. Nothing to do with seats......the rear parking sensor module actually sends out the signal to the mirror when activated by the reverse gear lever,

And here's me thinking it was a thread about the Polar FIS+ Advanced module that can give you access to lots of information like boost data in your MFD.

Nice find on the price tigger. May get one of these.

Nope. Tried that many a time.

It's a big deal for some of us (with Tigs).

Despite having all the so called correct options mentioned and enabling it, it still doesn't fcuking work.

Here's my MFD with it enabled and I do have parking sensors, park assist & RVC.




It is hoped that this kit somehow does something different that actually might get it to work.

Hence the discussion.

This is done by The CAN BUS. For people who dont have rear parking sensors, then stiff luck, u cant have this feature. But for people who do, winning, well get on it, it is the best convenience option!!!

Have u tries with vcds?? It's under central convenience. Sometime the mfd cannot change it due to its authorization rights in different modules.

If anyone in Melbourne I am more than happy to meet up with u to try with vcds

There are a number of Tiguan owners that have tried... and failed. Aussietig suspects that there is a missing piece of hardware that stores/records the mirror position information.

As Tiguan shares a lot of hardware with Golf 6 we believe there must be a difference in controller modules used somewhere which holds the mirror position data in the higher spec Golf 6. It seems that even the higher spec Tiguans don't get this up spec control module. At the moment we're not sure which one this is.

So even though you can select the option in VCDS if the hardware isn't there to support the function then it won't work.

We'll hopefully find out soon how well the Autopolar FIS+ does the mirror dipping.

out of curiosity - does anyone have the vcds coding for the mirror down option?
i doubt it will work on mine - but worth a shot i guess.
