Do you know if that would be possible through using the Audi rs4 wheel?
or
Would i need a different box or firmware?

New steering wheel  :sad1:

Todays update  :signLOL:

Removed the Polar box, no fault codes, but i did notice a few of the wires i could see bare wire.    :surprised:

So can anyone give me any advice on what to do here please?

My suggestion is to sent it to a good fellow member to test for me, if its the wires, replace the lead, if it can be turned/changed to be used by a non-MFSW car...

Or can any of these things be done?

I would also like to find out how or if i can code in the wiper stalk to access the menu options...

Guys again thanks for all the help, really appreciate the support!  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Which of the three connectors are you seeing bare wires? The one that plugs into the polar is a bit flimsy even when new. I think it's easy to test the integrity of the separate wires with a multimeter so choose that path in the first instance if it's local to you.

As for coding the stalk, perhaps Danishmkvgti could help seeing he can use his stalk for cycling the menus. I think that this is paramount as without that function being available, you won't be able to cycle through to the polar desktop even if it (the polar) is installed and working correctly.
Without traction power is nothing!

Thanks Ayoub

Yes the wires that connect in to the polar box itself!

I will upload some pictures, might be hard to see, a small broken wire through a picture, will try anyways!

You can use the polar without a mfsw. Everything is done on the stalk. I can use either the stalk or the wheel on the vRS.

If you press and hold the lower rocker on the stalk then you should be able to get to the menu functions. Does that not work?

^^It was the same on our Altea, but the mk5 has a dedicated Menu button on the MFSW. Pretty sure stalk menu access only works with xx0/xx1 clocks. 

Is fitting a MFSW not an option, Scopes?
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Have the RS4 steering wheel in, love the feel of it  :signLOL:

Mk6 steering wheel maybe, but what else is needed to add the mk6 wheel in?

Sell the rs4 wheel get an ed30 one and add the mfsw buttons !

must be away round it  :notworthy:
