UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I've had success in the past getting away without coding. It all depends what car the unit came out of compared to what car its going into as to whether its required. Also had a 4-figure warranty claim for an engine component whilst the car was showing a ton of fault codes from a retrofitted Nav sys...

Do VW not do it as an accessory?

SEAT list it in the catalogue for the Ibiza and it isn't more than £100 - £150. Designed to be retrofitted

Looks pretty amazing. A taster of things to come when the next generation Polo GTI lands?

Hmm that doesn't look good, the Rad appears to be slightly damaged too which is probably what caused the coolant warning to come on.

With regards to the 1.4, I was under the impression rear disks are dependant on whether it has ESP?

Eddie is in NR31 (Great Yarmouth) so only a couple of hours from Bedfordshire

I was hoping for his assistance with some retrofits this month but have been unable to get hold of him, does anyone have any contact details? Sorry for the thread hi-jack OP!

You'd need to try and rule out weak signal in the area I'd say, maybe in a different car or a standalone unit

Yes all those retrofits are possible :) They do get progressively more complicated though. RNS 510 is very easy, just plug and play. MDI is a little more involved but should be possible to OEM standard just with the module and cradle. MFSW and Trip Computer is relatively complex and although fitting...

EddieGT is your man to sort this!

Good it works but not the neatest solution IMO! The official VW Bluetooth interface is what's really needed here for full integration but its expensive.

Yep should just be the stalk, nice and easy upgrade

Cruise can in theory be added the same way too with some additional coding.

Looks superrb, easily the best Polo I've ever soon

RNS 315 could be the answer here. Can be picked up for around £300 with DAB, also has the bonus of inbuilt Bluetooth which none of the other RNS or RCD units offer. Only caveat is the slightly smaller touchscreen but easy enough to use for nav and music playback etc.

Yep as above you'll need to buy the DAB version, probably easier to jump to the RCD 510 at the same time. Costs circa £200 plus the new antenna

I also had a replacement radiator (SEAT Ibiza but same thing) just out of warranty on a 2009 car caused by a coolant leak. Its a fairly common problem on these.

Codes are easy enough to get hold if you lose them, dealer can either retrieve or plenty of decoding services on ebay.
