MFSW Startline retrofit

[KIRK FARRELL]

Hi All. 1st post for me so go gentle. Bought a MFSW came of a 68 plate high line to fit to my 67 plate start line. All controls work par the cruise had it retrofitted by local vw company yet there struggling with the cruise. The buttons on the cruise actually activate the horn also bought the cruise control stalk but really want the cruise to work off the wheel. Has anyone got idea of were my garage has gone wrong. Many thanks

Got a pic of the old and new wheel?

Have they done correct coding
?

You you need any extra cores linked to the BCM or ECM?

Hi dellmassive thanks for the reply will post pics in a min mate

 

[KIRK FARRELL]

Old and new wheel even the lads at vw garage can,t get there head this. All controls are working par the cruise. HELP

 

[Dellmassive]

Have they run the new LIN bus wire to the Engine control module?

If you never had cruise before, this wire will be missing?

The RHS buttons use s separate LIN BUS wire to the BCM.

Schematic in the link above.

 

[KIRK FARRELL]

Genuine not sure, but all other controls do work
So frustrating this, do you have wiring diagram for this Dellmassive ? or a idea what goes were etc.
My van never had cruise before
Thanks a lot though much appreciated mate

Bloody hell I only wanted cruise control hahaha and a fancy wheel lol

Show the schematic to your fitters....

They will.most likely find that the LIN bus wire is missing from the CC buttons MFSW to the Engine control module.

It's all shown on the link above.

Corect, but the Cable from CC buttons MFSW to ECU is no LIN Bus, it is called the GRA, or CCS Line, and it is a Simple 12V On/Off signal.

 

[KIRK FARRELL]

Will do mate
Many thanks for that
Much appreciated

Hi @KIRK FARRELL , did you ever get anywhere with the cruse control?

Just looking at this thread. How difficult would it be to change a van that has a multifunction steering wheel but cruise on the stalk to a steering wheel with cruise on the wheel?

In theory shouldn’t be too difficult if you know any required coding
The cruise cable from the engine bay will need to be rerouted from the stalk plug to the slip ring connector

Hmmm that might be a problem as Im new to coding.

I think I could just about manage this

I have only spoken to one retrofitted who has done it and he said it was a pain in the ass and took ages to get right and he didn’t want to do another
I have cruise on the stalk and am not a big fan of it so always have an eye out for cruise buttons, if a set ever come up cheap I will give it a go

Depends on the Engine that you have.

I am not Shure but i will propose a Theorie.
- EU5 Engine ==> always Cruise on Stalk
- EU6 Engine ==> alwayy Cruise in MFSW

Probably there could be a EU6 Engine with Cruise on Stalk, if so, this can be changed easy.
- Retrofit MFSW
- Coding

With EU5 Engine Cruise on MFSW is not supported.
You need to patch the ECU Firmware to enable Cruise over MFSW with EU5 this is complicated but not impossible.

Thanks guess Im stuck with it on the stalk.
