Re: Halogen DRL in Polo 6R

Interesting! Thanks for sharing! When I turn on the parking lights, only taillight gets turned on. There is no effect on front except DRLs dimming.. This headlight doesn't have front parking lights. But it does have very bright DRLs which compensates for parking lights.. surprisingly, it doesn't thr...

Re: Halogen DRL in Polo 6R

Got my new headlights. I had already embraced the fact that I'll have to do wiring for DRL lights. But after install, I found that everything works fine including DRL lights. It was just a plug-n-play. Surprisingly DRL dims when headlights are turned on!!. I'm still clueless if Indian version of Pol...

Re: Halogen DRL in Polo 6R

So in order to keep the DRLs running, i have to turn the switch to parking mode (i.e. rotate switch one step ...

Re: Halogen DRL in Polo 6R

Ok. so I wanted to first clarify what version of polo do i have? - Its a face-lifted version (2014 + facelift). It came with Cruise control, Foldable and adjustable side mirrors, without auto dimming mirror and without rain sensing wipers. However, I was able to install OEM auto-dimming mirror and R...

Re: Halogen DRL in Polo 6R

For the 6c you'll need to do it via the bcm. Via the fuse box is not an option. Vcds coding is mandatory I think i'm also in same league as @TheLizardKing.. mine is also 6C.. I have ordered a new headlight for my car with HIDs. Drls in this headlight uses parking lights, that means that I need to k...

Re: Halogen DRL in Polo 6R

Since this is a non BCM operated DRL, does it support other DRL functions like dimming or turning off on indicator lights?

Auto dimming mirror problem

Hello Folks! I have installed an OEM auto dimming mirror on my 2016 polo (India). It seems to be working but it is not dark enough for my eyes, particularly when vehicles behind my car keep their high beam on. I drive back home mostly in night time and I really need a perfect working auto mirror to ...

I'm using a cable bought from AliExpress. Do you think its cable issue or something is wrong with my BCM?

Re: Polo 2015/16 Auto-dimming mirror - RLS - Long Coding

When I looked at VCDS today, long coding position that you suggested is different than what is shown by VCDS helper. RLS is at byte 4 position and byte 8 position shows error. Now, I'm confused and want your opinion before proceeding with making changes. Scan report Sunday,02,September,2018,19:14:19...
