Cheers mate  :happy2:

I'm looking forward to when they sort out how to display the AC info in the RNS like they have for the Skoda's.

EDIT JMP - Mine works fine.

Mines also going to be silver. I have non-oem headunit with canbus adapter to give switched 12v. Apparently there may be problems with this working on the silver model (not switching off). But there's a hw fix that can be done if needed. Hopefully it works without modifications :)

Well I have just tried to update mine and its now bricked my unit. All I get is an error to say contact reseller  :fighting:

EDIT: While searching the Polar forum I cam across a manual updater which allowed me to clear a scrambled firmware update. This then put the firmware version to N/A. I then tried the online updater again to upload the latest firmware but still wouldn't have it. Now trying to clear it again and reload the previous firmware. Not having much luck with that at the mo.

EDIT 2: So managed to clear it and have loaded 0.3.2R again. This seems to have taken.

I got mine working but it wasnt easy. First my headunit refused to open after installing it, I needed to perform the hw modification inside the unit. And after trying to update the latest 0.3.3 my unit bricked also. Got it working with the local updater.exe. Its got now 0.3.0 sw.. What settings are you using to show boost? Mine doesnt show vacuum.

Got mine direct from Autopolar. I think a company called movitel are the cheapest. Sign up to the polar forum and you can see the resellers there :happy2:

I bought from obd.fi for a total of 250 euros (includes taxes also). http://www.obd.fi/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=183&category_id=9&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29 (http://www.obd.fi/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=183&category_id=9&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29)

I got it with free shipping just by asking. Im not sure if they have english language pages.

Apparently there was a corrupt file in the red_dot english version firmware  that has now been replaced...

I would say that was probably the issue as when I connected it to the local updater in the firmware version box it showed a load of garbage. Something like 0*3|!sZc  :signLOL:

Damn, I should take it out again for an update.. Are you all just flashing the box in car without removing it? I dont quite have my wlan coverage into my carage, so are the flash files available also somewhere to flash without network?

Yeah. I update whilst still connected to the car. The FIS has an option on the main screen for updates.

I haven't had chance to try as I was on my way out to work earlier and wanted it useable so stuck with the 0.3.2 firmware. Will try again later. For info I remove mine from the car when I update.

Is highline a must for this or you can use it with the midline too?
