Hi Neil

Did you check the box "Telematics" in the gateway installation list?

All wires checked and double checked?

Nope, do i have to check the Telematics box in the list then, if so did i need to do that first, before i connected the box? 
or
Is there another way?

Has it shown up on the Highline at all?

Scroll through the Highline onto the stock trip screen as VCDS can't communicate when on the polar screen (if that makes sense)

Might need an update from polar to the correct screen for your car. Red dot or white dot.

MK5 will be red dot.. on the highline display  :happy2:

Plug it into your computer and run the update on the polar website.

Seeing as you can't see it in the car probably best to remove and update I would think.

Red dot is the cluster you will have (mk5). White dot (mk6) etc

^^^ what Rich said  :laugh:

Yeah it came from a mk5, i would assume it is red dot.

I can access the polar box, to connect the wire, is it safe to do so whilst connected to the car?

checking for photos !
