Can I code my radio/MFSW properly?

[benjie]

Recently, a B7 Concert II+ come up on eBay at the right price so I have bought and installed it in my 2003 B6 A4. Everything works fine (with kufatec loom) with the Concert II+, but my steering wheel controls aren't really working. Volume control works as it always did, but the up/down and left/right controls (freq up/down and next/prev preset channels) don't work at all. I've looked at the coding options in 56-Radio and changed the code just to see if it has any effect, but it doesn't.

Obviously, I'm aware the radio was designed for a B7 and it's in a B6. I just wondered if anybody had any thoughts as to whether this can be made to work?

Cheers

Post a full log of your car.

Here it is (Ignore the Streering wheel faults as that was me messing with the coding, I don't have telephone. Also the radio faultsa re because I don't have the diversity antenna, but signal is still fine.)

Try this as your car thinks its seeing some features that are not coded to the car.

Adaptation [h=3]Channel 081: Vehicle Data Learning[/h]To start the process for vehicle data (VIN) learning, enter/save 26467 as new value.

 

[benjie]

Thanks, what am I doing this in, 56 Radio?

 

[NHN]

Radio & Steering I'd say.

 

[benjie]

Thanks. I tried the vehicle data learning. It allowed me to do it in Steering wheel, but only with code 00111 - it wouldn't accept 26467. There's no channel 81 in Radio to let me do vehicle data learning. It just says Error not available.

Any ideas?

 

[NHN]

You see this link shows some kinda correlation with your errors as it shows coding for telling car it has tel & voice control fitted, but your coding doesnt say this for the radio fitted, which is why its so weird.

Audi Radio Generation II - Ross-Tech Wiki

This coding below is for the II+ units which doesnt either show why it would be as is:

Audi Radio Generation II Plus - Ross-Tech Wiki

But, try decoding mfsw within 56 now & leaving the 16 steering set as mfsw installed & vice versa if has no effect.

 

[benjie]

Right, I've changed the coding in radio - I turned off MFSW. Nothing changed, the steering wheel buttons still worked the volume, but nothing else. If I turned MFSW on in Radio and off in Steering Wheel, nothing worked. With MFSW on in both modules, only the volume buttons work. With them both off, nothing works.

I tried changing the coding as if it were a Concert II and it wouldn't accept it, only the coding for Concert II+

I think the telephone fault codes were caused when I changed the coding just to see if I could get it working (then I ran an auto-scan without clearing them)

 

[benjie]

Shameless *BUMP!*

Anyone have any other ideas?

 

[NHN]

Do you have the original radio?

 

[benjie]

Yes, it is a Concert 2.

 

[NHN]

Where you at with this mate?

 

[benjie]

Hiya. Sadly I'm nowhere - I'm wary of just arbitrarily changing coding just to see if I can make it work as I could cause problems. I'm starting to think of just finiding a nice 3-spoke non MFSW sport wheel and doing away with it altogether. Really don't want to do that though as the MFSW, though a bit ugly, is really useful!

 

[NHN]

Do you have wifi near your car?

 

[benjie]

Yes...

 

[NHN]

Do you use/know of logmein?

 

[benjie]

Ah right, now I get you! Yes I've heard of it, but don't use it. I can install/run it though

 

[sakiduz]

Hello all. First of all sorry for bumping old thread, but I was searching a lot, and founded this thread with same problem as benjie except I do not have any errors of phone and etc.

Short story. I have 2004 A4 B6 with MFSW for radio control only. Now I have upgraded with Concert 2+ from newer B7, and in my MFSW working only volume - or volume + buttons. I believe I have coded radio correct. Thanks a lot for any helpful information. Peace.
