I recently swapped out my steering wheel for one that includes tiptronic buttons. It was an option for the 2005 A4 (B6 model). I am now trying to recode the steering wheel module to recognize this new steering wheel and have a question. I am using the info from here (see link)

My current code is 01041. I tried recoding to 01141 but this changes nothing (the tip buttons on the steering wheel do not work) and I am wondering if I am interpreting '+1' correctly. What is the difference between '1' and '+1'? What should my new code be? btw, no fault code on the swap and no fault codes after recoding (and everything else ie cruise etc. still works)

The part number of the new steering wheel might be useful too.

As far as the +1, it means that digit needs to be an odd number for tiptronic and an even number without. Since that's the only documented option, 0 or 1 are the only documented choices. It's possible other values would work, but I don't have any info on what they might mean.

Thanks, appreciate any help.

In addition, the specific steering columb combinagtion switch control module PN for use with the MFSW.

Above is a shot of the Module 2 which is the TCU module ... again I think I have it coded right since the 4th value from the right is coded for Tiptronic with paddle/buttons.

I'm still stuck!!

Thanks

Also, the clock spring should be the same, but confim that is the case if the suggested TCU coding does not activate the shift buttons.

Also I checked ETKA and there is only one clock spring (canceling ring) listed for 2005 A4 so I am assuming that since there is only one that I have the right one.

I do notice and I think I mentioned it earlier that the tip buttons do not light up at all so I am thinking that there is no 'power' going to these buttons at all (but then maybe getting the right code/part would fix that).

Thanks for any and all help!!!
