Anyone have a cheap set up to monitor EGT? Figured I could maybe get a cheap third party OBD II scanner. Just want to know what people have set up here.

Does it work for our engines since it does not list CRUA? What OBD II scanner would you recommend? I only need it for this purpose.

The Torque Pro App with an ELM 327 adapter works excellent for monitoring EGT's. You also need an android phone too. It also lets you monitor a lot of other stuff too.

I use Torque Pro with a ScanTool OBDLink LX. I added some VW specific PID's found in the VW.CSV file & linked the EGT temp to a light up button on my Torque display saying "Regen" when temps indicate a regen in progress.
I tried a BAFX OBDii tool previously, but it would periodically stop communicating until reset (also, the ScanTool has a "sleep" mode that reduces parasitic drain on the battery when not in use & a faster polling rate when running).
A not-activated LG android smart phone (picked up as an Amazon black friday deal for $15) on a magnetic mount is used for the Torque display.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for. I was deciding between bafx and obdlink lx. Looks like I'll go with obdlink lx.

I use a ScanGauge. I have it set up to monitor both EGT and DPF.

Using Torque Pro with OBDLink LX as well, all the PIDs that I had mapped to my 2010 work on the 2015 GSW.
Sportwagen3, how did you get the light on the Torque display to activate? I had at one time an alarm set but that no longer trips when the temp > 1100F.

How did you mount your ScanGauge? I like the clean installation of this gauge: http://www.p3cars.com/shop/vw/vw-golf-gti-rabbit/vw-mk7-p3-vent-gauge/
The drawback is you can only display one thing at a time.

The PolarFIS was supposed to have the MQB update done a year ago. I still have a unit waiting to be installed once that ever happens. It puts all the data you want right in the MFD screen and is controlled through the steering wheel buttons. One day soon maybe...

Beta units are supposedly out there now.

This is good news for me. I recently purchased a new MQB vehicle (unfortunately not a TDI) and I have been debating whether or not to sell my PolarFIS+. Perhaps I will hang onto it for a while and see what happens. I have not been able to get any information from Polar or Kerma, they say they are "checking".
Have Fun!

I've read that post by Charlie at Kerma and hope that's a promising sign as well. But, I hope that it's beta software, not a beta unit...meaning a different piece of hardware to go along with it since I've already purchased the PolarFIS+ unit.

Anyone hear an update yet on PolarFIS working for mk7 GSW TDI?
I was just going to pull it from my mk6... but I now find this thread.

They sent out an automated email asking for folks to send them autoscans of their vehicles. Maybe that means soon? Hope so

Fingers crossed that it's not another year, haha. I've had mine over a year now just waiting to be installed!
