Hey guys, 

In searching for the perfect retrofiting, I am searching for the best option yet

So, i have the 2013 o3 and the obvious Kostal clockspring

The question is

Should I keep searching for the oe one from Kostal or move to Valeo's 569C from superb 3?

Does the 5Q1953569C fits on my steering wheel? Also i notice that is the 5q1 instead of 5q0

 

I saw a post earlier but it doesn't conclude to me

 

Regards 

Hello all,

The modification is done, the HSW is installed and working. I am really happy with the result. It took me some time to complete the job, mainly due to lack of time and ordering the wrong clock spring initially.

What happened in my case is that I tried to save some money by going for an older clock spring model 5Q0953549D although my Skoda Octavia MK3 had ordinally 5Q0 953 569 A, which according so some posts here would require a 5Q0 953 569 B to power the HSW. It turns out that the mounting points of the clock springs are different and the 5Q0953549D did not fit the steering rack at all. I ended up buying the 5Q0 953 569 B used from another Skoda and it all worked like a dream. I had already prepared all cabling using an alternative to the Kuafec cable loom (see below) which made the rest of the job rather easy. Please note, that the cable is plug and play, however it is a bit short, and I had to extend the 12V and ground wires with app. 40 cm to easily reach the connector of the clock spring. After installing the clock spring and HSW and coding, I had an error message that the cruise control is not working but this error disappeared after few hours. Interestingly, the coding that I thought to have made, was lost afterwards as well. Anyway, I coded again as described in this topic and voilà, the button for the HSW appeared 😊

Last thing, I was never sure if this modification will work if one has no heated seats, but it does.

 

Here is a list of the parts with prices:

 

5Q0 953 569 B                 clock spring - £95

3V0880201 AA                Airbag - £110

5E0419091CFCWE        HSW - £92

 Slip Ring Adapter Cable - £15

 

Good luck!

 

 

Good work! I’m glad it worked and that we now know it’ll work on PFL cars without heated seats. Good effort 👌🏻

@dkutsarov same situation i ve ordered the Valeo 569b instead of Kostal 549D.

I am Not Trying to change the system. Also, mfsw won't be able to work with Kostal s 549d?

@Purpletom need help 

So

549d from Kostal works fine with the mfsw from steering wheel? 

Hello all,

 

just for completeness and as it has not been shown before, please find below an image of both clock springs (the 549D and 569A-my old clock spring) attached.  As you can see, the aperture in the middle of the clock spring differs between the models and won't fit onto any steering rack. Also there are mounting holes on the 569 that are missing for the 549.  FYI, my car is from November 2016. My advice would be to see which clock spring number you have now and just get the version with the suffix allowing for the addition of a HSW.  

So, i ve changed the slip ring from Kostal's 549a to 549d, 

My octavia is a my13 so i still have mib1's panasonic as infortament and doesn't display the icon with steering wheel. 

Also the steering wheel is an octavia 4 so i need a new gwcan, but this is an another story. 

 

So, what is my options? 

Hello everyone. I'm slowly giving up.

1. The steering wheel with heating was replaced. Additionally, the slip ring 5Q0953569B was replaced. Of course, additional wiring.

2. Coding to get steering wheel heating in the menu. until now, everything was fine. Controls in the menu work correctly. The steering wheel heats up.

3. Now the problems... an error with the acc was displayed. When I returned to the old slip ring, the problem with the acc disappeared. Any ideas? Could the slip ring 5Q0953569B be incompatible with the acc? Am I missing some coding?
