Have to disconnect battery as polar menu is displaying ok on high line? Also do I need to secure the polar before putting dash back so does not rattle? ta

First of all, congrats on getting it fitted. :happy2:
You want to put the polar in a place that's easily accessible for updating purposes. I put mine just behind the cubby box and it fits snugly. Pic courtesy of Richn83

I actually sit mine in the cubby with my IPod :smiley:
X2 for getting fitted :congrats:, the backs of my hands are forever scared :signLOL:

cheers ayoub, not sure have put it back as easy as that but it is all working :jumpmove:
next questions for you re the actual readings
what mb should the boost be reading under normal driving conditions?
what voltage should the battery have?
what oil temperature should you have before warmed up sufficiently for spirited driving?
any other intersting facys about the values being displayed?

got the can gateway ok and thought this is going quite well... then could not get the fecker back in its holder!! not sure have properly put it back but all working and no dash rattles so will see how it is this week

Same problem as me, took me an hour solid to get the gateway back in position :fighting:
Battery should be around 12v on ignition and around 14v engine running
I wait until oil is up to 85 degrees before any beans
Still not sure myself on a lot of the parameters, slowly working it out as I go :grin:
