Hi, is anybody able to tell me which is the fuse for the instrument cluster /clocks and would it be ok to disconnect this for 5 mins or so?
Cheers. :happy2:
-
The actual fuse positions seem to vary with different year cars (thanks VW).
I would just disconnect the battery instead to reboot everything. You'll get a few dashboard warning lights on reconnection but those should extinguish themselves with a short drive.
-
Tell me about it, have tried to google it and finding lots of different answers. I have already disconnected and connected the battery a handful of times. :rolleye:
-
Finally found it- just for reference it was F17 (5A) in the engine compartment. So much for the handbook which listed F17 being the horn. :confused:
-
why do you want to reboot the cluster?

I was asked to by Auto polar, having an issue with it since fitting polar fis, top part of my display goes black when on the home menu:
This is mine:

Not quite sure whats gone wrong.
-
Polar FIS at its worst
-
thing they are making the polar fis do to many things--they should of just kept it at the basics
-
Do you have any ideas or clues what it could be? It only happens on the home menu, all others are normal. :sad1:
-
Are you able to change what parameters appear on the screen?
I got my polar and audio menus back but it still freezes when I try to change the peramiters
Swapped back to my old gateway and it has not made a difference
-
No I have not been brave enough to try changing the parameters lol. Just want to get my display back first- one step at a time lol.
-
I pulled the stereo fuse out for 5 mins and that has solved the lost screen issues
The clock comes up on the open door screen for me too.
I'm tempted to try and install an older firmwear.

i would try the old firmware and try that as you have nothing to lose

fwiw with the latest firmware 3.0 I have no such issues with my silver polar.
I must caution you on trying to downgrade to the earlier 0.2.7 version if you are using a 7NO canbus gateway in light of my own experiences with the two.

Polar now think that I have a faulty unit and will be sending me a new one
So I am hoping that will fix the problems
-
The problem with disappearing menus seem to be surfacing with other users of this new black polar.

so its just not me then :happy2:
I got the airbag fault cleared but i get the telematics not found error
I will post the scan in my own thread
-
Baz could you possibly get a pic of your installation list for the gateway when you connect up your vcds cable?
As for the error: Address 75: Telematics- Cannot be reached, don't worry about it as that's normal with the polar connected.
