« on: March 06, 2015, 03:43:09 pm »
Hey guys.
saw the cruise control how-to here in the how-to selection but do i need to do a steering angle  reset if i only change my currect stalk to one with cruise?

you have to take the slipring and steering angle sensor to remove the stalk. As its removed, you will have to reset it.

any how-to to reset it with vcds?
is it hard? easy? and removing the airbag is it only to turn the wheel and insert a screwdriver and push the 2 clips down?

This video may help



and also this one I made on how to remove steering wheel



You will need to turn the steering wheel full lock to the left and hold for a few seconds then full lock to the right and hold for a few seconds, then centre the steering wheel and go for a short drive.

the airbag connector is it just to pull it toward you? and the controller need to be removed and dissconnected or can they stay connected and just let it hang loose?

the airbag connector has to be removed otherwise the steering wont come off. The wires going into the steering wheel controller can stay connected but the module itself will need to be removed so you can remove the slip ring and angle sensor

edit: any how-to reset the steering angle via vcds?

you pull the white clip towards you and then that releases the whole yellow connector from the slip ring.

see above in my previous post below the links I posted how to do the reset  :happy2:
