FMC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Nothing to worry about with the connector or wiring, you just need to get someone to load the configuration to turn it on Thanks Zac I've read a couple of threads on a couple of forums but yet to find a definitive guide. Most are reallyyyy old threads going back years when I presume it was still impossible to get done lol. Is it really as simple as you say on the mm 7.5 now? BTW, a mate of mine is a master tech at ford so he can upload the correct software on IDS or reprogram or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebz Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It really is easy. The facia comes off same as in the old threads. If I recall correctly the screws for it are hidden behind the airbag, and the airbag comes out from 2 pins behind the wheel are released. Make sure you get the 7.5 facia though. The push to speak button is on the wheel on the newer one, and I think the lights are blue instead of red.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winther85 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 You just need to buy a steering wheel with cruisecontrol. And change the software. Really easy. Took about 15min. Just done it in my Fiesta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebz Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 You don't need the entire steering wheel. Just the silver bit, but I don't think its sold on its own. I got mine from a scrapyard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordeadly Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Are these the buttons ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Ford-Fiesta-Cruise-Control-Steering-Wheel-Buttons-/231349155252 What a shame you can't get the silver trim separately :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 As long as it's post 2013 they should be correct. What a friend did was buy the steering wheel, took off the silver bit with the buttons, put his old silver bit back on the string wheel he bought, then sold the steering wheel on again as a complete wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordeadly Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Humm ok - how much for a new steering wheel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMC Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Humm ok - how much for a new steering wheel ? New from Ford about £260/£280. That's just the middle bit - the rim is detachable so you take that off your existing one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
