Hi All,
Have recently picked up a 2.0 TFSI Sport, with Bose Concert II audio. The car didn't come with a MFSW, and I am looking to retrofit.
I have searched around, and understand that because I have paddle shift and the Highline DIS, the steering wheel should be a straight swap and VCDS code.
I am also looking at replacing the head unit with a Sony unit that I have spare, as it has AUX in and USB. I have ordered a Bose capable fitting kit from incartech.co.uk, which I hope will allow me to swap out the head unit.
So this brings me to my question. I do not have easy access to VCDS, but can arrange it if required. Does anyone know if adding a MFSW requires coding, when installed with an aftermarket HU? Does the coding activate the stock head unit, or does it activate the steering wheel?
Thanks in advance.
Alex
