Re: Polo 6R - Useful Part Numbers
A tip for anyone interested in installing OEM makeup lights from Golf mk7 or other MQB cars, in a car with dark headliner: There is a VW version of LED makeup lights for dark headliner (5F0 947 109 C 82V "Titan Black"), and also a Skoda version (5F0 947 109 C 9B9 "Satin Black") u...

Re: RCD 310 to 510 help
Hi. The rcd510 does not have bluetooth. Only the rns radios have it. You can buy the rns310 , 510 or 515 and buy a bluetooth module This is incorrect. First, the RNS 510 does NOT have built in Bluetooth. The RNS 315 (which is a newer version of the RNS 310) has built in Bluetooth, but I'm not sure ...

Re: Will a Skoda extinguisher bracket fit under Polo seats?
Oh, I don't understand that stuff, is it not a bit slippery when people spill it on fuel station forecourts? (smells quite a lot as well) Diesel doesn't evaporate as much as petrol. A spilled patch of diesel won't disappear quickly as it won't evaporate, it will stay there and be smelly for quite s...

Re: Will a Skoda extinguisher bracket fit under Polo seats?
Thanks for your extensive report ! No problem, just happy to share a mod that I haven't seen done on a 6R before :) I'm keeping an eye on this as it certainly beats my current method which is storing the extinguisher in the boot in my cars! (hint, there is a tank of fuel very close to the boot/trun...

Re: Will a Skoda extinguisher bracket fit under Polo seats?
It fits, kind of! https://i.imgur.com/e0EYPns.jpg The reason I say "kind of" is this: I bought the bracket for the mk2 Fabia which has seemingly the same seat frames as the Polo 6R. It has four screw holes, two in the back and two in the front. The two back screws fit perfectly, however wh...

Re: Polo 6C GTI CH/LH lights
At least the switches look cosmetically different between 6R and 6C. There are both big and small plug switches for the 6R. My car had a big fat switch without Auto lights and with the big plug from factory. I retrofitted Auto lights using a harness provided by the user ciclo on this forum, and a sm...

Re: Polo 6C GTI CH/LH lights
https://www.advanced-incar.co.uk/products/volkswagen-retrofits/volkswagen-auto-headlights-switch-small-plug/ These do a small switch version but does not have the coming home/ lights on feature . That is also a 6R switch, not a 6C. I'm not sure if it will work on a 6C. I'm not sure what the big/sma...

Re: Installing RNS 510 from another car
Yes, it would be lost, ...you would have to use the star button to control the RNS510 by voice. I see. Then I will probably leave it inactivated too. Even though they are nice to have, none of the two voice control features are very useful to me. However voice dial feature is the less useful of the...

Re: 6c GTi Brake Disc sizes?
312x22mm ventilated front discs 232x9mm solid rear discs Front should actually be 312x25mm right (instead of 22mm)? Anyway, it seems parts sites never get this right. Even for the WRC which all have 312x25mm, they usually list 288x25mm. I know the 6R GTI came with both 288mm and 312mm discs, but I ...

Re: Re-coding the gear change indicator on dashboard to certain RPM?
I wonder if it is purely engine RPM that triggers these gear change warnings - I would think that it will be engine load and/or instantaneous fuel consumption as well as RPM or instead of engine RPM. I think it is also set up for people that have a very slow working brain so that by the time you ac...

Re: Installing RNS 510 from another car
I also don't know the difference between the audio parameters selection. In my case Set 1 works correctly. Some time ago I took some screenshots of the Bytes (VCDS 11.11.3 - very old version), I hope they're useful for you: :arrow: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ft9NYAVf_DbWg_BBCB0LRq67Cgp...

From the first post in your thread, I assume that would be: Coding: 0501000000010110 Thanks, I'll keep that in mind so I know which values I can fall back on. I know some options can be different for my car (for exam...
