In addition to the question of if you have a highline mfd, is your polar box plastic or aluminium? If aluminium is it silver or black?

If connected then you need to update using the polar update in the configuration setting on the mfd screen.
If you can manage to disconnect the plug from the box then that puts it in update mode and can then be updated by just connecting your usb cable after getting on to the polar update site.

NB The site only works with Internet explorer

Ok, if you get to the update site for the update you want to upgrade to FIS_Adv_v0.4.2RZ1(Red_dot)(EN_ES_FR_IT_PT). The updater will also show you if you have a PF03 (advanced) or not by the updates it offers you.

 :drinking: Cheers matey!

"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...?  :innocent:

If so then it needs removed  :fighting2:

It's not doing any harm like this?

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.

Battery being disconnected did not seem to work  :sad1:

So it needs removed to do the update, as i will not see it on the high line screen?

Good luck with the update.

My gut feeling is that there is an issue with the polar cable itself as it's easy to break a wire at either end and not notice it without a close inspection.

Cheer matey !

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!  :sad1:
