Title: MFSW Buttons
Post by: mvb12 on June 03, 2012, 07:53:57 pm

If upgrading to MFSW buttons can all steering wheels which have blanks be coded and have the relevant connections from factory.

so say for instance, pre 2006 cars would need a new wheel and all cars there after would just need vagcom to programme them in.

DSG are plug and play i believe. Manual cars need additional parts and coding.

There are two styles; the all in one moulded buttons, earlier, and physical buttons, later,....if that makes sense. Ive got a set of the older moulded buttons I need to sell as I bought them and theyre not compatible with my newer rcd510. Tried them with my older rcd500 which confirmed this  :embarrassed: :sad:
