Hi. I have searched for the answers here but cant seem to find anything to help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Issues:
1. MFSW buttons are not working. I had coded the RS3 wheel for the previous single din concert and the buttons were working fine. Therefore I cant see what has gone wrong here? Unless the new double din concert needs a different canbus in order to work with MF?
Part number for new stereo is 8P0 035 186 S.

2. Not getting any radio reception. Aerial plug is different. I managed to push the existing single FAKRA connection into the back of one of the connections on the back of the new concert but there is still a spare socket at the back of the stereo and there is a DIN plug coming from the vehicle that is now unused.
I do have both new aerial amplifiers that I will install shortly but i understood I should still be getting some sort of reception without changing them over?

3. The socket for the traction control plug is different on the facelift button row. I also never had the airbag off button in the past. Is there any sort of adapter or workaround here?


This is what I have below.

MFSW issue fixed itself overnight? Bit random. Must have just needed to reset itself somehow (although battery remained connected).
 
Answering my own questions today. I suspect I need to replace the row of switches (Airbag off, traction control and passenger airbag off) with the below switch and the other two blank? Does anyone else concur?

the airbag switch you got in glowebox by turning the key instead, for eso you can get the connector from audi, think may be 5 quids? and re wire it, for mfsw may be coding of new radio into can bus?
