    Its basically a unit that plugs into your harness... then you add some coding using VCDS, and bang, you got a whole bunch more info in your MFD.

    I'm still trying to figure out where the CAN Gateway is on the Polo (thats where you plug in the bridge cable). From what I can see in EKTA, it's not anywhere around the steering wheel, where the BCM, fuses and relays live. I *think* it's behind the glovebox.

    It might be in the same place as the Golfs.. under the wiper motor on the right side...

    So you would need to remove your rain tray etc to get to it...

    Ok, the diagnostic data bus unit J533 is mounted on the A pillar behind the glove box. That is for LHD vehicles according the the manual.

    However, the other electronics manual shows that there are 2 connectors going to unit J519 which says that it controls all the onboard functions like auto wipers, one touch windows etc...

    Which one is the can gateway is anyone's guess...

    CAN Gateway has only one connector, J519 is just the BCM/Cent. Conv and that's behind the Steering wheel.

    This is the Diagram of the CAN Gateway for the Polo from EKTA (Item 3)



    But it's not exactly pin point... The J533 is the CAN Gateway though, so who knows which manual is correct?

    Number 3 in that diagram is the CAN gateway according to the Vw wiring repair manual.

    Sorry I meant J533, edited my previous post for clarity. So do you think the CAN Gateway/J533 is under the A Pillar behind the glovebox?

    Has anyone that ordered the Polar FIS+ got it yet? If so, have you plugged it in? Does it work? The guys at Auto Polar would like a pic if you have so I you could let me know, that would be good
