Hey!
I just bought a 2015 Polo Lounge (just a "special" Confortline).
Specs:
- 1.4 TDI Bluemotion CUSA
- MFSW
- Discover Media Gen 2 (GPS)
- Front footwell lights
- Both DRL and fog lights (with static cornering lights)
What I did so far:
- Installed cruise control
- Changed interior lights to LED
- LED DRL
- Minor coding tweaks
- OEM Park pilot (front and rear)
- Installed auto-dimming rear view mirror
- Installed RLHS and light switch with auto position
- Switched to OE single mass flywheel (original DMS was becoming problematic at 100k km)

Hey! Few updates!
I recently added a few items to the spec list:
* OEM front and rear parking sensor. At lot a work, but totally worth it!
* Cruise control, installed at the dealership.
Today I did a little DIY project that I'd like to share. Backstory: I broke that little lever on the interior rear view mirror that manually makes it dimmer at night. Wouldn't it be nice if I installed the auto dimming version, I thought... Some people did it already in this forum, but I don't like the idea of messing around with the windscreen, In case something goes wrong I would like to be able to undo everything and keep it as before. Then I found a really cheap auto dimming mirror and decided to adapt it to the old school mount.

The final result is not as good as OEM for sure, but it was really cheap and it is easily reversible. I'll be mounting the mirror on the car tomorrow morning, hope everything goes well!

Recently got the engine remapped to around 110 HP (original was 83 HP, sightly above expected 75 HP), I asked for something not too extreme, so this is still less than the very maximum this engine can give. The car feels just like original, except for the extra power, which is what I was looking for. Here are the results, if anyone is interested.
