I am planning to buy this and set up the CH/LH function.

I have seen it on other VW's. Works fine.

Without sounding too naive, but what does it actually do?

Is it just plug and play ?. I would be interested if it works like that.

[iichel]

yes it is plug and play. learn some dutch and go to forum.mypolo.nl, plenty of experience there :p

I had one of these in my 6R. Worked very well. Literally plug and play

Readily available on ebay UK too - Its the same as the Mk4 golf.

Where do you put the sensor? somewhere on the windscreen?

[alexperkins]

Just tuck it up the top of the A pillar trim facing the windscreen

@ alexperkins
Got mine today in post.
How do you setup the coming home/leaving home function?
The chinglish instruction is so confusing.

[alexperkins]

It's automatic. You just need to connect the red wire - presume it still has one of them?

The new mode might be plug and play straight off now

[alexperkins]

From what I can tell you need to tape off the TFL pin on the headlight loom that plugs into the kit to get the CH/LH working

Thanks for the quick reply.It's the new model .No red wire in the module.
I haven't masked the TFL pin yet.Is that the pin for disabling DRL?.

[alexperkins]

Yes same pin. Without masking that off the auto lights won't work anyway

i ve tried that, but not long before i resumed my original light switch.

the biggest problem is when i drive under the shadow of a bridge, or something like that, the switch quickly turns on. But 3 seconds after i ride through, it will need another 6 seconds to turn off.

when i drive through a small tunnel, the same happens.

i am in china and i DIY something to my Polo. Believe me you will not like it.
