Non auto folding out mirrors

Anyone else find it stupid that the folding mirrors don’t fold out until you turn on the ignition but fold in automatically when you lock it?
Never had this on any other VW’s and wondered if I have missed something in the settings or there is a simple coding job to fix it so they open when you ...

Re: OEM speaker upgrade

Well, it’s fine now if it’s cranked up but seemed lacking for general use I.e radio at normal everyday volumes. I am comparing it to my Mini Cooper S which has the Harmon Kardon option fitted which is night and day better at all volumes. I have had an amp fitted now (Focal Impulse 4.320) to the Polo ...

Re: OEM speaker upgrade

Re: OEM speaker upgrade


The CS would give you a nice sound stage with the tweeters being separate but if you can, go for the S series and add an amp then that would be a really decent set up for the money.

Thanks. So are we talking Alpine S S65 and Alpine S S65C as a direct replacement for the speakers? and Alpine SWE ...

OEM speaker upgrade

Evening All
I have a 2017 Polo Match Edition Tdi as a work commuter (100 round trip) with the Composition Media head unit. Although I am happy with the features it has, my last 5 VW’s have all had the Dynaudio option ticked and the speakers in the Polo are sadly lacking in comparison. I’m so out of ...
