Mk7 steering wheel into mk5 gti

[Deako]

I'll get it sorted next week. Cheers Mike. I'm working in London for a few days next week, so don't need the car. It's just annoying.

Know the feeling.

I've lost access to my high line / mfd menus atm, driving me bonkers. Hoping @vRSAlex takes a look at it

What have you done recently to the car?  Installed anything,  changed anything?

[Tfsi_Mike]

It's seemed to happen when I tried a Gti Pirelli wheel on my Cupra.

The Gti had the little black box in the middle of the wheel (under airbag) connecting the left and right buttons. 

My buttons are just connected by the ribbon cable.

As always SI very informative and educational for us on lookers.

Just a thought couldn't you of drilled through the board to take the stress off the pcb track?

I did consider this,  but was more worried about damaging anything else,  as my wire was tiny it wasn't that bad,  I should have found a better terminal but once I found one that lit all the lights up I was happy

Do all the buttons work,  but you don't have menus or have the buttons stopped working? What year is your cupra?

[Tfsi_Mike]

My buttons work.

My previous set of buttons went faulty and with that the horn stopped working.

Now the buttons work (control Sony headunit via connects2 stereo harness) indoor have Bluetooth.

The menus used to be accessed by holding the wiper stalk

Sadly I can't be on any help Mike,  I'm sure there is a combination of things you you could try,  like getting a cheap set of buttons that use the black box,  do you know if your car uses a steering wheel control module

[Tfsi_Mike]

I have a CH module under the column.  The wheel doesn't have a little module under the airbag like some of the golfs do

[SI-R32]

Perhaps it needs recoding and checking for fault codes

[Tfsi_Mike]

Tried coding the CH controller a few times.

Ive just come across a couple of leon wheel on eBay with the little black box between the buttons.  Might try one of those sets of buttons.

Got a guy on the same industrial estate that I'm hoping is a whizz with circuit boards, so fingers crossed he can repair it and potentially get the LEDs working on both sides too.

[Deako]

Well. He can't do anything with my buttons.

So, what do I do? Buy another set of these buttons which definitely illuminate red and chance modifying them again? Or buy a set of buttons which will work, however, Si already tried that and they didn't.

That's not strictly true i haven't tried any others than 1k8 i did buy another set but these were the wrong size so i never powered them up, if you don't mind extra cruise buttons on your wheel 6C0 959 442 C or D will light up red they cost approx 218 from TPS although flicking through Aliexpress.com i did find some on there a lot cheapoer but seem to have disapreaed now.

The 1K8 959 442 will cost approx 140 quid, hope you get it all sorted

Got my new set of buttons and given them to someone else to solder and hopefully work properly this time. 

My right hand buttons must have been duff before.
