• I used Threadlocker medium glue on steering wheel screw
• Long and thin T8 for steering column cover (I have modified tool got from castorama)
• Wiring approx. 1m
• Female connector 000979009E - connect to pin no. 5 at black steering wheel connector

Safety warning:

When playing with electricity it is always better to be safe then sorry, so disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before disconnecting anything

There are 2 required VCDS codings: 01 Engine and 16 Steering wheel

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you are getting 'Press clutch to start engine' error ( automatic gearbox shows something like put N to start engine or similar) even when pressing clutch it means the white connector is not connected properly. There is a click sound but it does not mean the socket on the other side is connected.
