UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi guys,

Looking to get some opinions on what's the best course of action for installing a dash cam in 2014 Polo SEL 6c.

Essentially, my plan was to use a hardwire kit for my Thinkware F770 , which requires two fuse connections (battery - always live, and accessory - ignition live) for parking ...

I have LED number plate lights on mine, can take some pictures later today if that would help you guys?

Are any of you thinking of changing the interior lights to LEDs?

Also, do you guys find the reflection of the light switch in window distracting when looking in the mirror?

Thanks for the info about the wipers everyone, prime example of the resourcefulness of this site!

@JohnNW - These lights are static and do not follow the turn direction, but they do range adjust on their own depending on the car weight.

So far, I would say that the lighting of the road is better ...

@vc-10 - Yes they are, although the two main lights parts are dimly lit at the ends. Where the DRLs in the other specs (next to the fog bulb), there is just an empty housing which acts as a reflector.

@Doc_House - Cheers mate, I was planning to do the same as you'd done with pretty much the exact ...

Build week was 15/12/2014:

Device part number: 3Q0035820
Hardware: H11
Software: 0135

Media codec: 1003.113.1.15 prod

Those busier ones look bloody horrible, original Lyons are much nicer!

A few new pictures:

@Doc_House - Those Knight alloys look so damn good, wish they had those for the SEL. Really like the blue as well, saw a few at the dealership today in that colour so it looks popular. Congrats.

FINALLY... I picked up my car today, great drive home (around 100 miles) and the technology inside is ...

Yeah, that would explain the price difference. I thought the badge/handle version was the normal one as I hadn't seen any others.

For those wondering, this video shows the factory installed camera is under the edge of the license plate area on a 6C, as mentioned Mart!n-GTI-DK.

Jamesbluegt & markc123 - Great pictures guys!

Regarding washing, a good touchless wash solution I've been using is Magifoam by Autobrite. I use it as stage 2 (pre-wash) of my whole routine (around 10 steps), but leaving it on for 10 minutes will get a lot of dirt off the car.

If you really want to ...

I'm not so knowledgeable in this department but isn't €399 (£309) quite expensive for this, considering the factory option is around €310 (£240). Would sourcing the parts direct (if possible) from VW be cheaper?

I only ask as I was considering this option but didn't add it to my order in the end ...

Thanks Jamesbluegt and also, congrats on picking up your car! How are you find it?

Side note, has anyone opted in for the service plan?

Random/stupid question for those who have also financed their cars...

I've been sent my documents to sign (I live far away from the dealer) and am slightly confused about where on the VW Finance agreement form (page 1) where you sign, it asks below for signatures by a witness. Can I confirm that ...

Now that's cool, never have I seen a dealer do that.
