Well I'm thinking of getting the polar advanced fis+ but don't want to get it if it ant going to work with my car, problem is I'm basically changing the cars completely like the high line, mk6 steering, controller, so want to make sure it all works. I'll have a word with Ed next sat when he codes all the jobs I've asked for him to do. Think he is going to be a busy guy.

Cheers Dan

Also a FISCON Basic will give you some highline readings if you were going down a bluetooth route one day

I have a alpine head unit and im hoping that i'll work well with the Mk6 wheel, If it does and all goes well I think the Polar Fis+ is next on the cards.

I also want the Mk6 reversing camera but dont think it'll work with my head unit. :confused:

Post by: dandav1985 on October 27, 2013, 08:17:10 am: I need to get one of these Before it'll work.................as my car never had the MFSW never needed one.

Looking forward into meeting Ed seems very highly regarded on here and full of knowledge with all things VAG.

it plugs into your CANBUS and if you go through the cubby it will take about 10 mins all in to install yourself.
