Fitting Polar FIS +

[scopes]

I was able to scan the car while the polar box was disconnected, also checked the gateway install list and the Telematics box is ticked !

PF03 model

I have the box out, so when I go to the update page, it waits till I connect the lead to the polar, then goes to update/connect and shows up with problem! 

What error message do you see, Device damaged??

PF03 means you have a Polar FIS+ Advanced.

The Telematics box is automatically checked with your model version of polar. By any chance do you have BT/telephone in your car as well?

No It seems to be internet explorer doing something, doesn't stay on screen long enough to see what it says..

No I have the Bluetooth unit there, but its not connected...

tried on two different computers so far, one with xp and the other wins 8...

You must do this in IE to allow the active X to be installed.

Go to internet options>security>custom level>scroll down to Download unsigned ActiveX controls and set it to prompt instead of the default Disable.

Go back to the web update page and allow the ActiveX to run. You should then be greeted with this screen.

How do I get the activeX to run, is that just the reconnect/products available screen you up have uploaded as the picture...

again thanks for all the support !

If you've changed the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to prompt, save the changes. If you have a browser window open, close it/them then re-open IE and go to the polar update site. Once you get there you should get a pop up asking if you want to run the activeX, agree. You may have to click another run box thereafter you should then see the page looking like what I've just posted above.

Remember, get to the update screen as above before connecting your polar.

Well with a BIG THANK YOU to Bacillus, got the polar updated ! 

Just need to double check everything is connected up correctly!

But not getting near it, as the weather is    wild.    Here's to some better weather ! 

But again thanks for all the support guys, will keep this updated as i progress

The box supports updating both in and out of the car.

If you call it a night and leave the polar disconnected from the car then it's possible that your battery may go flat tomorrow as the head unit may not fully turn off.

update in the configuration setting on the mfd screen" I would need to be able to access this first on my dash, would that be right...?

Correct.

if I disconnect the Polar box and not reconnect for.... a week, my battery will go dead?

So basically if you need to remove the box its best to remove the cable also?

I have the box connected, not showing up on the screen, just have not got to check the wiring... Could maybe loose or faulty... Will find out tomorrow

Yes, more than likely.

Yes unless you are removing the polar for only a short time

Good job this came up as I was going to take it out for a week or so from tomorrow.

Hello mate, me and Mandy had this issue- we disconnected the negative from the battery then once Polar is all fitted, reconnect battery. You'll see the highline display come back on when you open drivers door. Now close the door again and lock the door with key fob. Wait for display to go out (look thru window), unlock car with key fob and open drivers door. Put key in ignition and use steering wheel arrows to scroll thru menus. Might be worth a try.

Also on my Polar box I had a dodgy cable, I used to have to wiggle it to make it appear on the screen.
