Retrofit MFSWl controls

Hi, does anyone know if you can fit the MFSW controls on to a non MFSW steering wheel?

Thanks

Yes, there's a kit (really just a pair of wires and scotchlocks).

Yes you can, but may need an extra piece of cabling , which you can get from BMW.

Hi, hope you don’t mind me asking. Just wondered if you ever retrofitted the MFSW controls? If so, any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

You can but you will probably find it a simpler job just to buy a MFSW- there is one for sale on here at the moment. There’s a great guide on here if you search for it in the how to section. If your car is an early prefacelift all the wiring is there already to plug and play.
