Multi function buttons not working
- Thread starter synthedup
- Start date
Silly suggestion........ have you tested with the ignition fully on? I only say as when I fitted the aux lead to the back of my stereo i was testing it with just the stereo turned on and seemed like the functionality was not working from the wheel...... until I turned the whole car on and it was sweet!

Have a look on the how to guide and it explains how to look and see if you require it, im expecting as you are post facelift (looking at your pic) you will 99% need it if you didn't have multifunction before.
Good Luck
Yea the ignition is on
I have purchased the retro fit cable but looking at the guide i still cant see how it fits, i feel stupid lol.
you can see on my wheel the cables that are currently fitted, i have the red, blue and white cable that go from the buttons to the madual next to where the air bad plugs in, pic below
PS the wheel has been refurbished now lol
The wire you need to install need to go from the back of the slip ring to the headlight switch.
If you remove the plug from the back of the slip ring, you should see where the wires should be (pin 9 & 10 from memory) if you dont have them you will need the cable.
It a 30 second job to remove the plug from the slip ring.

Slip ring is the part that the new steering wheel fits onto by the clocks etc, to the back of that you will see the connector you need to find
Great stuff Ash thanks,
I have read this loads already but it has finally sunk in now i think
