Hey guys I’ve bought a 2016 se skoda octavia they seemed to untick every option when ordering this one 😂😂😂 

 

the 2 things I want to retrofit is mfsw and cruise control 

 

I’ve got a multifunction wheel here I picked up am I right in thinking I need

 

Air bag loom 3V0971584A

 

Gateway - 3Q0907530AA

 

with regards to the gate way I read online some non mfsw have the right gateway fitted some don’t anyway off telling which I have without stripping it? Can part number be read on vcds?

 

i read the gateways can’t be fitted second hand once fitted they are locked to the car has anyone found a way around this?

 

and lastly for the cruise does anyone know what I need?

 

sorry for the million questions 

 

thanks in advance Mark

Anyone??

To start with you wont get very far with just vcds, you NEED Odis to be able to remove component protection and possibly recode the immobiliser if you change the gateway module. As well as that youll need the correct dataset for the gatway module and have it swap coded. All of this gets quite involved when going outside the realms of factory retrofits.

 

Regarding cruise control, you can buy a complete kit with a SVM code, once all parts are fitted the svm code is entered into odis, these creates the suitable datasets, carries out all the necessary coding and updates automatically. Take note there are 2 types of steering controls, Valeo and Kostal, they are not interchangeable. 

sounds a nightmare. Return it for a higher spec'd car
