Purpose: to activate the speed regulator after installation (retrofit).
Caution: To carry out this modification, it’s essential to check that you have the correct steering column ECU, otherwise you’ll have to change it. It’s also essential to check that you have the correct wiring.
There are 3 types of calculator: low-end, mid-range and high-end.
Low: (does not support cruise control => Must be replaced)
Standard 4-spoke steering wheel
Possible functions: On-board computer
Reference: 8E0 953 549 F and 8E0 953 549 S
Medium:
4-spoke steering wheel, 3-spoke Sport steering wheel, Multifunction steering wheel
Possible functions: On-board computer; Cruise control
Reference: 8E0 953 549 L and 8E0 953 549 N
High:
4-spoke Standard steering wheel, 3-spoke Sport steering wheel, Multifunction steering wheel, Heated steering wheel
Possible functions: trip computer; cruise control; heated steering wheel
Reference : 8E0 953 549 M ; 8E0 953 549 P ; 8E0 953 549 Q ; 8E0 953 549 R
There are 3 ways to find out if your module is compatible:
- or you have a multifunction steering wheel
- or check the module reference by removing the cache (see below)
- or make a VCDS vagcom diagnosis
Please note: if the steering column ECU is to be replaced, it is essential to identify the new ECU to the car and then code it.
To identify the new ECU to the car, go to channel 081 of module 16 (Adaptation),
enter the value 00111, this resets the ECU and declares the VIN chassis number to the ECU.
then enter the code corresponding to the options :
Module 16: Multifunction steering wheel, then Coding 07
12345 = [1][2][3][4][5]
[1] -Always = 0
[2] – Steering wheel:
0 = Standard steering wheel
1 = 3-spoke sports steering wheel
2 = Multifunction steering wheel with radio control
3 = Multifunction steering wheel with radio and telephone control
4 = Multifunction steering wheel with radio and telephone control and voice control
5 = Multifunction steering wheel with radio and voice control
[3] – Volant variants:
0 = Without Tiptronic on steering wheel and without heated steering wheel
1 = Tiptronic on steering wheel
2 = Heated steering wheel
3 = With Tiptronic and heated steering wheel
[4] – special equipment:
0 = without ODB y without controller
1 = only ODB
2 = only controller
4 = controller and ODB
[5] – rear wiper:
1 = Not installed (Sedan)
2 = Installed (Front)
Procedure for activating the controller:
Module 01 – Motor
Coding – 11
Enter code 11463
module 16 “Multifunction steering wheel
Coding 07: (example: original value = 02002)
0xx?x
?=0: no ODB or controller
?=1 : ODB
?=2: controller
?=3: ODB and controller
so new value = 02022 because no ODB or 02032 if ODB+controller
After installation, check that the steering angle sensor is not out of adjustment.
to do this, we recommend that you test the ABS and ESP for correct operation
“Steering Angle Sensor (G85) Calibration
[Select] [03 – ABS Brakes]
[Fault Codes – 02] [Done, Go Back]
