Andy - Glad to see that after all you've done on your car, that the highline still brings a smile to your face in some way  :smiley:

Have always been temped by these units, do they sit in behind the cluster and do they cause a rattle at all?

Mike - have been keeping a look out now and again for you but the Leon Cupra highline's seem much harder to find than the Golf ones - and even they're not easy to find at all.

Appreciate that David!  :notworthy:  Ultimately I want the facelift Leon Cupra clocks in my Cupra as they have large screen and white backlighting  :party: :party:

They are a great little mod. I have fed the cable through so the unit sits in the cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel. Easy access updating etc. I get no rattles with it there either.

Provided you can access  and easily remove the original canbus cable then installing the new polar cable and box should be a doddle. The actual position on the canbus depends on the year of your car.
Without traction power is nothing!

How to locate and fit was discussed in this thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,40494.0.html  :happy2:

Great unit, very useful to monitor different parameters  :happy2:
