Hi All,
I have a multi function steering wheel - one of the later versions with one phone button.
I've recently fitted a MFD2 Sat Nav unit and have a CD changer which i'll put in next week.
Anyway my question is how to get the buttons on the RIGHT hand side to change CD tracks etc.
At present the menu button and up/down buttons only change the Multi function display on the dash but don't allow me to do anything with the headunit.
The left hand side buttons are ok and the volume & Mute buttons work fine with the Head unit.
Any Ideas how to get them to work?
Cheers all :smiley:
-
To change tracks on the CD, the MFD has to be on 'Audio' which should be one of the options via the menu button.
If listening to the radio, you should be able to change radio stations as well if set to 'Audio'
-
This the problem - i don't get an "audio" option! The menu button just scrolls through the driver info such as average speed/fuel range etc.. :confused:
Any ideas how to get to the "Audio" option? Seems strange it doesn't come up as the MFSW and CD player were factory fit.
Does something need to be activated?
cheers

You need to go onto VCDS, enable Navigation in the CAN Gateway long coding/Installation list
Then it will work :happy2:
-
Do you have/need highline?
-
If you have a MFSW, you normally have highline to go with it.
But yes, in order to access 'Audio' you need highline

Hi Alex - No Highline in mine :sad1:
Does that mean no CD control from the MFSW?
-
Did it work on the old unit via the steering wheel?

Its never worked but i don't whether that was because it wasn't set up or someone had reset something or it's not possible...

^ All models with Midline MFD(multi-function display) after late 2005 will require Highline MFD Upgrade or Early Type Buttons to enable use with the next/previous track functions
Did yours have MFSW from factory? Also, what type buttons does it have. Two phone buttons with a rubber finish?
-
without the highline you wont be able to use the new style buttons to skip track, since you have an MFD2 you could use the old style buttons. New style buttons work best with highline and RNS510.
Also incase people wonder the other way old style buttons wont skip track on an RNS510 even when in audio menu in highline you need to use the wiper stalk control for that.

Mine had MFSW from new and is the single button phone version. My car is an 05...

BAH!!! :sad1:

Very odd that those buttons in yours are the newer style if they were original I think the new type were from 2007. :confused:
The second part of that statement is from the guy with the 2005 GTI where the MFD2 comes from he cant use skip anymore.....
You could get a highline dash and have that installed............ I have one on the way from the states for a fraction of the money they go for in the UK :innocent:
-
Cheers guys - i wonder if the MFSW was replaced under warranty at some stage?
Weird...
-
Tis possible.
Good excuse to go highline :D
-
Or there are a set of the older buttons on ebay if you want a link! Although I got my highline dash for less than these buttons :evilgrin: Not that im trying to convince you in any direction Andy :signLOL:
It is very odd must have been replaced at some point is your car DSG or manual? previous owner might have had them retrofitted

Thought so.
I retro fitted MFSW as I got them dirt cheap but volume up and down, flick through midline data and mute which has stopped working is about it.
In hindsight I wouldn't bother but its nice to not have to move my arm 2 inches to the volume knob :signLOL:
-
Its nice to be able to do it all from the steering wheel. In my case, I can steer, change gear, change track and volume all at the same time :signLOL:

I would like to see you do all that at once. :grin:
I also think the buttons make the wheel and interior look better especially when lit up, and the volume without removing hand from wheel is a neccessity when all your MP3's have different volumes!
-
All UK spec cars that had MFSW from new would also have the highline dash
Imports wouldn't
To change tracks without highline change the buttons to the older style or change the steering wheel to a Mk6 version

Mine's a DSG, out of curiosity I might call the last dealer up to see if they can shine any light on it..pm me the highline details - while I'm compiling my "buy" list I may as well add it! :signLOL:
-
If your car is DSG then it would have just had the paddles, so someone has retrofitted the newer buttons. Change to the old style to change tracks

So pardon my knowledge gap! :signLOL:
I could retro fit old buttons onto my existing steering wheel and make it work? Would I need to change any wiring or would it just be a case of getting the buttons re allocated on vagcom etc..
-
If the buttons you have now work, then you can just change them and that will be it
Do you still have the rocker switch on the wiper stalk?

Definitely smells if a retro fit!
No rocker switch on the wiper stalk... :surprised: :signLOL:
-
The older buttons don't control the trip computer, hence why you need the stalk with rocker at the end

Is this sounding like a pain in the backside to anyone else :rolleye:

Was a fix ever developed for this? Last I checked VWNavi there was a rumour about a SEAT owner who'd figured it out but nothing concrete...
