New look polar fis+??

[RoMocop]

Right, the cage thing that holds the gateway in place, does that move at all or does it stay put?

[Baz300]

Can you not just disconnect the plug from the Canbus leaving the unit in place?

That's what I'm going to try and do tonight as I had so many cuts on my hands last time I swapped over the Canbus

I left it in place!  I first turned the gateway throught 90 degrees then just wiggled it down below the cradle.

Eddie_NL moves the entire cradle but I have no experience of doing it that way.

The cabling plug to the gateway has a lock on it securing it to the gateawy.
Trying to press the tab to release it ( it's oreintated at the top side of the plug) to remove the cable is near on impossible with the limited space available.

Ok I have managed to move the gateway out of the cradle but I dont seem to have any room to move the gateway past the cradle in any way. I think I am stuck now so I will have to ask Eddie how I can remove the cradle. My hands feel like I've been ten rounds with Mike Tyson.

Thanks for all your help.

Did you try turning the gateway 90 degrees anti-clockwise then try to wiggle it down the right side of the cradle?

I tried to wiggle it down from the back left hand side rather than bringing it forward. I think that must be where I went wrong, and now I cant get it back.
Cheers again for your help by the way.

I  Managed to get the plug off without removing the canbus

All pluged in and I get the polar fis screen

But when I try to set up any of the screens I just get a message saying " finding available parameters" and it won't do anything after that (left it 10 mins)

I would first double check that all the cables are securely connected.

Do you have a red or white mfd?

[Baz300]

I have double checked that everything is secure

I can get the engine rpm, battery voltage, coolant temp and outside temp working on screen 1 (must be factory settings on the polar)
 Tried dissconectIng the battery again but it's still the same

Make sure all of your doors are closed use your key to lock and then unlock. This worked on mandys car.

After round 3 of my battle with the Polar FIS I managed to plug it in.

Question is how do I select which parameters I want showing on the 5 pages?

It just looks like this at the moment:







Also, is it essential to finish off by doing the following via Vcds?

When you have finished to mount all the pieces, use a diagnosis software as for example Vag- com or another similar and follow the following steps:
− − −
-Connect with the 19-Gateway control module.
-Within this module, access to Installation list .
-Mark the module [75] Telematiks.

Finally, make an Auto-Scan or review the rest of modules of your vehicle in order to erase the errors that have been generated because of disconnecting the battery and remove the connector of the vehicle Gateway.

Hold down the ok button on the steering wheel then it will take you to the polar menu

I think it is in screen press ok then screen 1 press ok and it will say parameter1. Parameter2 etc

Select the one that you want to change and press ok

That's as far as I got

Cheers mate I will have a look. Any more news on yours yet?

I can't update the firmware from work as I don't have admin rights on the computers

But going to try when I get home tonight
