Been looking at one of these myself.. Love how flush they are with the vent compared to the newsouth one's.. Is it possible to get these with different colour text on the display's though? as I'm thinking about also upgrading my midline clocks to the white r32 highline which will also match with the rcd510 white text display..

All red like on the first page and as far as I understand it’s more accurate, as the OBD only updates at a fixed rate from what I have read :happy2:

This is the other colour option to blue and white...

Title: Re: P3 Boost Gauges
Post by: lukemk5gti on October 11, 2014, 06:10:49 pm
Obd are a notoriously loose connection. You don't get that click noise you usually hear from a typical connection.

If you have or know someone who does have one of those obd adapters plug it in and the light will come up to show its connected.

If you don't see the light you might have a broken obd
Title: Re: P3 Boost Gauges
Post by: STV4R on October 11, 2014, 06:38:00 pm
It turns on but nothing works. i.e boost, coolant temp etc.. boost just stays at -26 and doesn't move, coolant temp stops on 0 as does the others. The only one that works is the battery. So I'm guessing it's not connected properly. So would like to see a picture of someone's connected to the obd2 to see if mines pushed in far enough or not.

It's working fine, you need to set it up
If your car has a remap it needs putting on a certain channel, the boost needs setting to what you'd like it to read in, bar or psi, like wise the coolant, deg c or deg f
So on and so forth

If you read the set up instructions online it will guide you though it
It's not difficult to do
The leaflet that comes in the box does clearly say to look at the online setup guide

Here is the configuration guide for vw/Audi :

Hope it helps, if you're struggling further pm me and I'll give you my mobile number and I'll walk you through it tomorrow

I'm more than happy with mine... In regards to a comparison though I can't compare as I only have Midline clocks, so I would of had to upgrade them first before I could get a polar box which would have made things costly. Pretty sure @Mandy (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1310) has had both though :happy2:

The Polar box does have a lot lot more parameters compared to the P3 but is harder to install and required me to take my windscreen wipers etc off to install it, wipers never worked the same again which I found annoying. P3 just plugs into the OBD port so much easier and the digital display looks good in the air vent. I chose the P3 primarily for the 0-60 function, but I believe the newer Polar may have this function too? With the Polar I didn't understand most of the numbers anyway so I don't feel like I need it in the R. :laugh:
