MFSW - worth fitting?

Post by Sidewaze Samm » Thu Jan 17, 2019 10:57 pm

I'm just wondering - how easy is it to fit a MFSW, to a pre-facelift car that is not old enough to come with the harness pre-installed?
(I'm assuming the earliest cars that came with electric seat harnesses etc, also have the necessary wiring for MFSW)

I'm also guessing the hardest bit could well be finding a MFSW in the first place!

I never had one in my E85, but I do in my E89. I pretty much never use it

I've not had one in a Z4, but my E91 has it.

I do use it, but only because it's there! I don't really miss it in the Z4 - it's not like the stereo is that far away. :lol:

Use mine all the time but mine has the phone connected via bluetooth so easier than messing with the 'phone, not to mention illegal :(
It's nice to be able to turn the stereo up or down without reaching for the dash too.

Fitted one to my early E85 and that didn't have the 2 wires fitted (easy to do) so very few were pre wired. I use my one quite a lot though.
