Polo GTI VCDS

Post by proalves »

Has anyone made any changes with VCDS because I would like to perform this on my Polo GTI.

Unfortunately the version I have doesn't support the Polo GTI MY19... :(

Care to share any other OBD11 mods for the Polo? Anything useful there like options for which the hardware is already in place and just needs activating?

I've had a look around but AW generation Polo.mods seem hard to come by.

The ones I know of are from the German forum, Motor Talk.

I’m only aware of the cosmetic changes to the dials as you’re trying to do as well as a few other options regarding the DRLs and rear lights.

I'm looking to get my GTI dials back on the virtual dash. My first service is due in a few weeks, I'll get the dealership to fix while they're doing it.

Something I've had to get used to but perhaps should have been present in the first place, as shown in a photo above, is a complete speedo.
I have to guess 30, which is a very common speed limit because the active info shows mph in 20's.

That’s one of the changes you can do with obd11! You can change the increments to include the odd mph’s/kmh’s. I’m changing mine soon as well.
