lost all steering wheel functions

[brainhouston]

Update on this for anyone having this issue in future. So it turns out the ’new’ buttons I sourced were actually faulty also!

I bought a new SCCM, installed it and refitted ring wheel with ‘new buttons - still no button function.

when researching this I found out you can upgrade to the heated wheel so I took the opportunity to order a heated SCCM instead of the non-heated one that was in my car. I also ordered a heated wheel (that just so happened to come with buttons also)

Thankfully I now had yet another set of buttons to try out. Swapped them out again and sure enough everything now worked.

So 2 sets of faulty buttons later I now have working steering wheel controls again.

Also the wheel I got was from a Raven model so it had the matte grey trim. Just left that on as I think it looks a bit more subtle than the chrome.

yeap, always check against DOA
do both clocksprings have heater plug?
did u have to do anything in software to activate heated steering wheel?

Glad to hear that you got it working!

Does the heated wheel show up in the climate control or the climate section of the app for you now? I haven't added the heated wheel to mine yet but I'd like to... But not if I have to faff around with a service center to get them to activate it.

No my original clock spring was the non heated type. You can tell by counting the pins on the left. Heated wheel version should have 5 pins. Non heated has 3.

Yes it will needed coded. I’m still to find out how this gets done but I’ve ordered a diagnostic cable in preparation. I believe people can remotely change the config.

No it doesn’t show up yet. I have all the hardware in place, I just need the car coded to include it in the config. I don’t think the service centre will be very helpful in this so I’m going to try a 3rd part specialist. Will post an update when/if I get it working.

Does your car have MCU2? That will be difficult to get around if you do, unless my information is out of date.

Yes MCU2. From what I’ve heard it can be done but it can be hit or miss if the car accepts the new configuration.
