Right,
I've got a non MFSW in my Ed30...
I've just won a MFSW (standard GTI) on ebay...
So can I just swap the bits with buttons into my steering wheel or do I need to swap the whole steering wheel over?
-
This should help - http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2938601 :smiley:

hmmm, bit more involved than I thought it would be lol!
How would I know if I already have the right circuit board etc...
vrStu added CC to my car without changing any circuit boards... is that an indication?
-
Did you know it was going to be that complicated Coco :sad:
-
Pm vRStu (stu), he would be the best person to Put that question to. If it isnt, stick it on Ebay and with the winnings get a Ed30 multiwheel to keep it looking Factory :wink: Its a cake walk to remove the wheel but to the Wire in behind the airbag etc might be a tough one.
-
If you have to change the wheel, then you'll lose the red stitching too!!
I'm presuming that both wheels are off a manual too ?
-
I'm pretty sure that the newer cars have the comfort module that controls the mfsw.
I asked at the dealer and they wanted £80 EACH for the two buttons! :shocked:
-
See, I was thinking that the buttons are movable onto my wheel...

whats the normal wheel look like ? (without MFSW)
-
The same... but with the "blank" bits instead of the button bits...
I would imagine that for cost savings, there is only 1 wheel casting (the metal bit) and then they share as many parts between each wheel as they can etc.
Hence I'm hoping to swap my "blank" bits for the button bits etc to keep my wheel.
-
i would say possibly then, do you have all the electrical bits too
-
I have DSG with paddles and it was just a case of removing the airbag and swapping the controls over to my current wheel. If you dont have paddles then there can be issues with the version of steering wheel control unit.

See, the buttons do come out....

So "should" be able to swap them into my steering wheel.
-
Back of the non MFSW may not have cut outs for DSG paddles.
Air bag wiring loom may not have additional connector for the buttons.
-
Why do they have different buttons??? Have i missed something :huh:
-
Mine is a Manual car, so do not have worry about cut outs for flappy paddles... only interested in the audio controls.
Hence I'm thinking it "should" be a straight forward swap of switch/button gear into my wheel in place of "blanks"
-
You may need VAG_COM to change the wheel profile to indicate there are buttons present seeing as it does not have paddles. If paddles are present the control unit is already enabled for button input.

Hey Cocopops, you have high or mid line comp?
I want to do this too, but I only have mid, manual Gti non ed30.
Are these parts expensive from dealers, maybe you could make a note of the part nos for me?
-
I'm sure that some guy did it on the UK-Mkivs site. He listed all the parts and procedures.
Here it is:-

It looks like... fingers crossed, that I just need a new airbag loom (small lead) and I should be good to go....
Will report back...
Oh and to finlay.. I have a Manual Ed30 with Highline.

If you 'bottle it' Lee then gimme a shout and I'll do it for you.
Do you need the P/N for the airbag loom?
