New generation steering wheel swap

[zacko_O]

I have a Skoda Superb 2015 L&K and had desire to install a new sport 3 spoke steering wheel from new Skoda 

 

Parts:

1. Steering wheel from Skoda Octavia A8, bought used, like new ~93 EUR

2. Airbag from Skoda Octavia A8, like new ~185 EUR

3. Steering Wheel Plaque / Badge (5E3419685G041 — black, 5E3419685FDPJ — SportLine) cars-equipment For 2 spoke wheel it's different

4. Lin adapter

I know two solutions one is from cars-equipment 200 EUR

and another one that I bought with ability to code some buttons like TravelAssist, now twice cheaper then first one

 

Removal is very simple, turn wheel to 90 degree and unplug with short screwdriver; and then from another side.

Disconnect battery. 

 

Need spline

 

 

New one with Lin adapter

 

 

Final result

 

 

All buttons work except TravelAssist(top right), because 2015 Superb doesn't have it. But I switched it to Phone by changing coding.

Very good thread and guide.

 

the only thing id note is the main screw for the steering wheel. Don’t put fresh loctite on it! The correct method is to mark the face of it with a centre punch and refit with no fresh loctite. The screw is good for 5 reuses (a centre punch per reuse) and only after that does it need replacing.

 

and have you got a link to the codable cheaper lin adapter?

I see a lot of questions how to make work heated wheel button work:

Climate - Coding - [LO]_Heated_steering_wheel_version => "[VO]_LRH_Gen_2_mod" or "[VO]_LRH_Gen_2_mod_with_longpush"

In case you have a clock spring with heated wheel option.

If you're capable, you can create you're own adaptor very cheaply. Much like this person has: https://wirer.sk/o3_volant22-modul/

 

Should be doable for £20-30 by the looks. More info from the codes creator here: https://github.com/GabrielMastny/Skoda_2021MUFUSteeringWheel_Converter/blob/main/README.en.md

 

I don't have any first hand experience but it all looks simple enough...

I'm thinking of doing this on Octavia 3 -2015, the lin adapter that is specially needed is the same for Superb and Octavia?
