Re: Just ordered a polo gti


Hi,
I've ordered a Polo Gti as well. If i'm not mistaken, you can still still activate the car net on your polo - all you need is the code from the dealer. If my understanding is correct all the cars have it, it's just not activated until we've paid the premium.

My wife just got a new Polo last ...

VCDS on 6C

Just picked up a new MY17 Polo GTI

Connected up VCDS to have a look and it says vehicle not supported :cry:

Using a genuine RossTech HEX-USB+CAN Interface running version 15.7.4

Did it work on the MY16 cars ?

Re: New GTI

Called in to the dealer today and the good news is my GTI is on a boat, the City of Rotterdam.

The bad news is it is heading for Tangier and wont be back in the UK for another two weeks.

Then about another week to get it over to NI so looks like the end of July before I see it :roll: :x

Re: New GTI

The dealer showed me the VW factory order system page on Friday and it showed as in Santander waiting for boat so I think it is still there.
Hopefully it is on the next boat and should arrive in the UK towards the start of next week.
