Can you change track with mfsw?
« on: December 11, 2015, 06:10:09 pm »
Just fitted mfsw buttons to my dsg wheel (07 edition 30)
My volume up and down on the left hand side works but right hand side doesn't do anything.

I have rcd510 midline display and now mfsw.

Can you skip tracks with the mfsw buttons? If so is it a case of I need a little coding doing? Thanks for help :)

To have that functionality with a midline, you need the old style buttons (pre 2005.5). Unfortunately they're as rare as hens teeth. I got mine off eBay from a guy in Hungary. I've got the exact same setup as you, RCD510 and midline.

Bugger lol I didn't do my homework and just thought you could use em to skip tracks. Ah well still looks miles better and have some functions for 25/30 quid the right hand side does work with the trip computer just wanted it to skip tracks! Lol
Thanks for help mate.

So if I fit highline clocks the buttons on the right will skip the track?

I think you can do it if you tick the bap protocol box using vcds but you lose the navigation from the highline cluster
