Here you go  :happy2:


Are they the original clocks? My speedo goes up to 180mph (golf GTi), yours appears to only go up to 160mph (I know white is a faster colour :evilgrin:) just wondered if your clocks have been swapped, which is maybe why your having such issues?

Is yours an ED30 or GTI ?

does that still happen when the polar FIS is removed?

Yes it does. :sad1:

Did you put your old Gateway back in?

No Im not going to attempt that myself because I dont know how to code the gateway. I havent phoned Stu yet as I thought you said he was busy til friday.

I did another scan yesterday and it was all ok.

Mine is exactly the same as Maxitrol's when the driver door is open, either with ignition key in and engine running, ignition key in but engine not running, or ignition key out.

Mine is a October 2005 on a 55 plate.

Thanks for your input Ian- I dont suppose you could take a short video when you are next out in your car. It would be much appreciated as I want to show auto polar how it should look rather than them telling me mines normal.

I just need as many videos or pics as poss to back me up.

Thank you all for your input so far. :notworthy:



No worries mate, I'll do one in the morning and post it tomorrow. Mine is a GTi by the way.

Some good and bad news.

Pic of when I enter the car (ignition off). Please disregard the time as I linked the wrong pic and deleted the correct original.


Turn on the ignition


When cycling through the screens I do get that black upper border.


If I turn off the ignition with the screen showing the black area it goes back to this.


Romocop I'll send you a link to the screen cycling video in a PM.

Thanks for posting the pics bacillus.  :happy2:

What year is your car? Can you remember if you had the black upper display before you fitted your polar fis?

My car is an 06 model.

Can you remember if you had the black upper display before you fitted your polar fis?
Tonight was the first time I ever actually noticed this anomaly and it was only because I was doing the pics and video for you.

NO highline would have a black part at the top

That part is normally used for low fuel, Low screen wash or Oil, coolant

It's only black on the screen that shows the diagram of the car, all other menus it is lit up eg NAVIGATION, AUDIO etc and the petrol light comes on in that top part too when the fuel is low.

Does that sound about right?

Right, to try and explain this a bit better...

- I open my door and keep it open, I put the key in and turn ignition. The picture of the car pops up, with the compass on the upper left of display and the time on the upper right of display. All looks normal.

- I scroll through each menu and when it gets back to the menu with the pic of the car, this is when the top part goes BLACK.

- If I take my key out again, clock comes back on the upper part of display. Back to normal.


Can anybody try and do the same as above and tell me if the same thing happens.  

Cheers in advance. :notworthy:

Sorry for keeping on! :ashamed:

I am in agreement with Romocop's description on how this ^^occurs.

That being said, I have no issues with either the polar or everyday viewing usage of the highline screen.
