Exactly as Pseudo states. I did read the DIY, but in this thread there were a couple of fellows who did the
complete steering wheel swap as I did, tried coding, or only did the wiring from behind the steering wheel to the center console and still could not get it working.
My message to these guys is simple and clear:
Detach the paddle plugs from the MF housing and
make the wire inside the steering wheel also (even if everything is already connected there) as described in the DIY
Even if everything is in place (a.k.a wiring) in the complete steering wheel, it will not work with only the steering column to center console wires.
(nor will it work by coding)
Sorry if I confused everybody, but you guys who are taking your MF switches from a non paddle wheel, and buying the paddle wheel + paddles separately and assembling everything together, don't pay any notice to my posts. Just follow the DIY to the letter.
My post are intended for those who bought a complete paddle shift steering wheel with MF switches in place. I.e a bolt on package.
