Title: Mfsw diy from non mfsw
Post by: Callumed30 on April 19, 2015, 12:12:20 pm

I have a ed30 with a non mfsw and going to upgrade it doing what kam88 on here did just need a little help, I already have highline so will I need to upgrade steering wheel control module, slip ring and airbag loom or just steering wheel control module and airbag loom?
What steering wheel control modules will work? I've been told these all work are there anymore?
1K0953549CH
1K0953549CD
1K0953549CC
1K0953549BK

Also I was tempted to buy from China off eBay as they seem cheap has anyone used these?

Any help appreciated

This gives the list of all compatible modules.

Check what you have first to see if you need a slip ring too;

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I have a question.

I recently upgraded from a mk5 wheel to a mk6 and changed the steering control module to a CH version. Once coded this ensured all the buttons worked perfectly.

The problem I had was that I kept getting a fault with the steering angle sensor (G85) that I couldn't get to go away.

After doing some more digging on the above link to Ross-Tech it looks as tho my original control module (BS version) doesn't have the g85 built into the the slip ring but instead is part of "the electro mechanical steering assist."

Looking at the list it seems that it might be worth me trying the CD version as that is the same regarding the G85 and should also enable all the controls on the wheel to work again!

Does anyone on here know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not? :thinking:

I think you can code the angle sensor from the steering module to the rack. It's in the Steering Assist module I think.

What exactly is the code?

The code of the Steering Wheel Controller originally fitted to the car is 1K0953549BS, the one I purchased to make the mk6 wheel work is 1K0953549CH.

According to the Ross-Tech Wiki page the 1K0953549CD is the updated version of the 1K0953549BS that also has the steering angle sensor not in the slip ring.
