Mapexslayer Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Apologies for the hijack guys, but been reading through this with intent today and just wanted to check something… If I manage to pick up a Mk3 wheel which has cruise controls but it basically still a Mk3 wheel and not a Mk3.5 wheel, would I still need to swap out the airbag and other components or just swap the wheel and program? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I can't fully answer the question, but I would expect that you will still have to change the clock spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My left trip computer buttons don't work after steering wheel mk3.5 upgrade, I'm ok without them but IPC is stuck counting mileage Is there anyway at all just to change the screen to the 4 box split at least if that is there forever I have multi info? Forscan? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly also a new harness which includes the connector for the cruise control buttons. It all works fine, you'll just have to amend some settings to enable the buttons to work and also the cruise control. @kevgals has just done this, maybe he can provide some more details.

Forscan? Not that I'm aware of. The Mk3 and the Mk3.5 use a different BCM and different software.

Geraldo18 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Hi all, i have just done a round trip of 20 miles to Hendy ford to get my cruise control activated. I have had the appointment for almost a week and Hendy's have emailed me 3 times to check that i am going to turn up. Well i did turn up and was told by the receptionist that they cannot do it because the car has never had cruise control. Am i now stuck or is it possible to get the activation sorted? I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction to carry out the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction to carry out the job. I would add that i have replaced the steering wheel with a later version with all of the necessary buttons, the air bag and clock spring from a 2016 focus. All of the buttons are fully working except of course the cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need the licensed version of FORScan (£12) and a vLinker FS cable (approx £33) and of course a Windows based laptop.

Wrong. vLinker FS is the cable with the OBDII dongle, just click on the amazon link and look at the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geraldo18 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 OK thanks for the info unofix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geraldo18 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I have just Had my activation done by a local auto electronics guy and he has told me that they have activated the cruise but there is a problem with the connection between the cruise buttons and the bcm. Is that possible and if so what can be done to correct it. Could it be a wiring fault or something more expensive? IT has cost me £ 180 so far so if it is a harness job i think i could manage that,(as mentioned i am not conversant with computers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
