2008 Volkswagen .:R32 Polar Fis vs Can Checked

This video shows the difference between Polar FIS and Can-Checked units. Both units are suitable in their respective capabilities, but it is up to the end user to determine what tickles their fancy. However, the Can-Checked unit only gives you four parameters regarding DTC, while Polar FIS gives you the Can-Gateway list followed by an (*) to provide you with codes similar to VCDS if you should have an issue in those modules. Based on this matter, this is my only gripe regarding the Can-Checked unit. In addition, they are also in the future development of the Haldex control, but they don't provide me info on the 4wheel drive DTC to show if I have a Haldex issue on a DTC scan, so I lean more on Polar FIS for this which is unfortunate at this time. Maybe a firmware update will rectify this.

hello i too have a usa model 2008 R32- but i am in Canada, so i require a metric gauge cluster, what year or model did you source your scirocco-r cluster? thanks

Doug Doern Thanks for checking my channel. There is a guy on eBay called JIC_cracked. I know you need it in KM. So here's the link. Hope that helps. You will also need to program it as the IMMO will not make the car turn on. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144479888998?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Pq7mfvLcTyu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=xxbgWNGjRdK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS

Like the polar fis just because it's in the mfd .. clean look

@vhurtado85 Год назад

I agree too. It reads the Can Gateway and is reliable and more bang for the buck with actual support. A bit disappointed that the Can Checked unit is hyped but cant even read the gearbox, brakes or 4wheel or other establish connections for parameters that the Polar Fis module can.

God I so badly want one of those scirocco clusters but they’re so expensive anywhere I find em, I also want radio nav functions in my cluster my radio doesn’t support that I think it’s too new so I want to switch to RNS

@vhurtado85 Год назад

I think you need to change the settings to DAB or BAP in the radio to get it to communicate. (Going off memory) However, you can also do the Color MFD changes like my MK4 R32. I know it supports the Red FIS that comes standard in the MK5. I still like the upgrade I have, but even it you got a white cluster from a Mk6 you can Ali Express and swap to a Digital Cluster for a more modern look with that option. Still don't think it communicates with the radio. So compared to when I originally purchased the 3d Scirocco cluster, technology was limited, now you have many possibilities. Food for thought, if that is something you definitely want. 😎

@@vhurtado85 haha well I think the issue is the radio I have it’s an interesting one it’s from the 2020 Passat, new look outside but old inside, doesn’t support my climate or radio in the cluster like my friends RNS, I have thought about the mk6 to digital thing but one of my friends got that and well it looked kinda tacky imo. I would do the color thing like you said with the mk4 ones but man I have no idea how to go about that I saw the video of the sotering on the board and that’s way past my abilities, I’ve only done small retrofits and small mechanical overhauls on my cars

@@Mk5.maniac Look on FB for ClusterbyLitke. IanPG has also done it on his channel, but it was Litke who did mine. Awesome service and have not had any issues on my soldering or unit not working on the MK4. Just did a firmware update on it today. Agreed on the radio. I think trying to keep up with the times deters from the original design and functionality when in reality you are still streaming and have GPS that is functional and not lost as compared to when you lose signal . At that point it's better to upgrade your vehicle IMO to keep up with the times rather than continue in the same predicament.

@Mk5.maniac Год назад

@@vhurtado85 yes that is why I don’t care about CarPlay I would much rather have the vehicles original functionality, I’ll look into it, I joined another Facebook group a while back and ordered one of those cluster mods over a year ago and never came so I’ll have to see but I take your word on this one

@vhurtado85 Год назад

@@Mk5.maniac Look for IanPG channel and check it out. It's actually pretty sweet and functional and does not deter from the original design as well.
