UPDATE:-
Went on the Autopolar website again today & the page with all the software/firmware downloads has vanished!!
Also the "offline update" tool has vanished!
& the "online update" tool now works properly which it wasn't before over the past couple of months!!
So managed for the first time to actually "register" the product with Autopolar.....hmmm I wonder if that's why mine was "bricked"...
Also they are now on 1.6 version firmware & 7 days ago it was 1.4 version...& they did release a 1.5 version in the middle!
I'd also like to point out that on the Autopolar website, under the products section PF05 product for MQB page...they show the Kema TDI install Utube video on a 2014 Jetta SW...which is similar, but NOT MQB & they are installing a PF03 module..NOT a PF05 module (MQB)
Also they show the dash of a MQB Skoda Octavia...BUT watch it closely at the beginning & they access the Polar FIS screen via the "Audio" screen...& in the instructions page for the MQB module they state you access it via the "Telephone" screen..WTF???
So I phone up the UK importer & state the above & that I will give it another go this weekend, just in case the registration process was causing problems...not my fault if their website doesn't work properly for a few months & they don't state that the item has to registered first otherwise its a brick...
Anyway will give it another go later today..if not then they get it back....UK importer is fine with that..
BTW also from what I can gather I'm the first one using it on a MK7 Golf!!..WTF ??....so no development on anything other than Skoda Octavia...& the MK7 Golf sells more & is available in more countries worldwide than the Octavia!!..
