Installation of a Mk7 Multi-Function steering wheel + paddles into a Mk6

[tigger73]

Having a think on it overnight it may be that the simplest way of getting this steering wheel going is to replace the buttons/controller with ones from the latest Scirocco - which has the same look as the Mk7 but has the buttons from the Mk6.



My hope is that these buttons would fit into my new Mk7 wheel.

The risk with these sorts of retrofits is always compatibility of hardware. Without some equipment to decode the LIN signals to determine what button press causes what message in both mk6 and mk7 button controllers (module in the steering wheel that generates the LIN messages), it's a little bit of guess work. I now suspect that the people that have this working either have a newer version of SWCM or have somehow jagged a Mk7 steering wheel that is backwards compatible with the Mk6 SWCM hardware.

For others reference the hardware I have in the Tiguan is a highline module. Scan details as follows:
