I'll pretend to know exactly what you've done there so will just nod sagely and say well doneHeating clock spring build summary video below.
Obviously final show off video in the bus will be uploaded shortly
Top work as alway @Robert
I needed to bring power supply to my heated MFSW(+12V & GND).
To do that, extra two tape conductors are needed in the spring clock.
T6 OEM Steering Angle Unit 6R0959654 combined with the spring clock tape has 6 conductors. Unfortunately there are no spare paths.
Even if they were, they wouldn't be able to handle the current requirements of MFSW heating element.
I am not aware of any OEM spring clocks with heating tapes to be compatible with T6,
so the only way forward was to extract OEM heating tape from any other heating spring clock unit and add it to the T6 unit.

Hi Robert
Would you make me a clock spring?
I have a passat B8 spring with the plug.
I have a Touareg R headwheel on my van
I wanted to use a bmw switch fitted to the steering column shroud.
Thanks Dave

This is a DIY switch cap!
You can either buy a switch, paint the cap and then laser it.
Or you can buy a switch and use your blind cap from your dashboard, laser it and edit it so that it fits on the switch.
I chose the second way.
