Polar FIS+ or Fiscon E-MFA Add-On

[rex]

Hello,

I am after my next interior mod for my MY 2008 GOLF GTSport and I have to choose between:
Polar FIS+ which costs 250 EURO / 200 GBP
or
Fiscon E-MFA Add-On which costs 150 EURO / 120 GBP

I have done some reading and I can't really find answers to some of my questions... So any help is much appreciated!

I originally had a 'comfortline' instrument cluster (small display) and I changed this with a highline R32 instrument cluster.
My questions are the following:
1. Do you have any of the above products? Are you happy with it?
2. I know that both products work with highline instrument cluster but since I have retrofitted my highline cluster I am not sure if I need other parts as well. So, will either of them work for with a steering wheel column that does not support multifunction steering wheel?
3. Is the oil temperature reading accurate? Are there any was to see if my car has an oil temperature sensor?
4. Do you access these new menus just like a regular menu (like instant consumption / average consumption / speed warning / etc?) or are these menus accessible only in the menu where you make configuration mods (like auto close the doors, coming/leaving home, etc?). Is the access the same for both Polar and Fiscon (except for the fact that Fiscon uses the radio menu)?

Thank you for your help  .

Throw a bit more cash at it and get the Fiscon Bluetooth with E-MFA add on included. This is mine.

Thanks for the idea!
I don't really need the bluetooth so I guess it's not worth the money for me.

Did you have the highline instruments cluster as stock or did you buy the cluster at a later point?
Do you have multifunction steering wheel?

My first question is can you scroll through the different menus (audio, settings etc) in the mfd display at present?
If you can't then the polar is not for you.

No, I can't access those menus.   Do I need a Highline Steering Wheel Column Computer to be able to do that?
All I can do is to scroll through instant consumption, average consumption, range, speed warning, etc...

I have this instrument cluster:


So I guess it's not going to work for me?

I have MFSW and Highline as standard mate.

Bluetooth is always worth it mate. Saves the temptation to "just answer this call" and get yourself some points.

You might need to upgrade your steering wheel module or the confort module. There are a few members here that can help you with that.

I chose the PolarFIS Adv. because I didn't need a Bluetooth module, I use a Bluetooth headset that can go with me outside the car.

My Golf had the MFA+ with a MFSW as standard, so it was very easy to fit the box above the pedals, connected to the CAN Gateway.

Basically you can get the information that your car's sensors give the ECU, so it's like having a VCDS cable hooked up while driving. It gives a lot of information in real time. I like it.

You can get the unit from the Polar Team online shop: http://www.polarteam.net/en/home/65-polar-fis-advanced.html
