Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing good. Thought I'd update you with some pics on what I've installed so far. Basic stuff but it has made a huge difference in the feeling of the car to me.

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions

It will Work. I did more or less the same mod in my Blue GT using this kit:

A bit more expensive though.
But you must be sure to buy the right USB port from VW. There are plenty to choose from for the Polo. You ...

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions

Forgot to explain my thinking last night!

The idea is to connect the USB port to the USB-to-4 pin VW cable , connect the USB male to the converter's USB female , which then goes to the fuse box, piggy backing on the cigarette chargers fuse spot. If I found the right info, it should be fuse no. 42 ...

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions

Hey guys,

So I've kind of not been liking the idea of opening up the USB-port and switching out the interiors - so I started to look for different options and found something that looks interesting. What do you think? I am by no means an expert on this, been reading up on other people's ...

That is precisely what I will be doing :)

I just found the USB port with the part no. 6C0035726, ordering that one home. Would you mind showing how you'll be installing this in your car as well? I learn rather quick when I ...

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions


You can buy OEM VW USB slot and USB car charger (AliExpress) with Quick Charge. I am in the process of preparing the car charger for my Polo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jmpma4j6y7x98im/20160224_200836.jpg?dl=0 ;-)

Thats interesting! And then you just switch out the internal parts of the OEM VW ...

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions


Now what remains is finding that OEM USB-port and figuring out how to connect it. Would you please be able to recommend a converter that I should order home?

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions

And if you put the switch in the fog light position,a light at the back will light up.

For the switch for the mirrors, simply remove the cover of the door handle.
For removing the light switch, set to 0 position, press towards the ...

Re: Polo 1.2 TSI - Some thoughts and questions

Question 2:
those are not your fog lights but your daytime running lights.

The first thing I did during my research ...
