Dude I just watched the hole video just because it exists! No one makes these types of videos unfortunately so I'm glad to be one of you first subscribers! Keep up the good work
bRuH! This is way too much work...I love all the diy for the audi/vw but this was oh dee to watch much less to attempt to undergo...Much respect to you sir for the diligence and tenacity to accomplish this project plus film/explain it for others to give it a Go. 👊
Lol it's looks more involved and difficult than it actually is. Especially due to the drilling. The drilling can be substituted by gluing the buttons onto the trim
@@ChampagneS3 the drilling was fine...my concern is mainly with pulling the wire-pins and tapping into the red power cable...ultimately I'm sure I can do it, however I'm not sure the novelty of the buttons is worth it to me. It does look awesome but not enough for me to go thru all that work.
@@Leo.SKDXL05 ahh I see what you mean. It's actually designed for you to plug into the fuse box in an empty slot as intended. I just tapped into the USB power wire as it was easily accessible. It's pretty easily done with a clip to tap to the wire
Great video! I got this same kit for my 2019 S5, but I cannot get the Drive Select button to work! The engine start stop button works fine, but the other button does nothing. By chance were there any extra steps you didn't show for the drive select button, or did it just work out of the box? I'm a little confused, because pin 3 and 6 shouldn't have anything to do with the Drive Select button, but you didn't do any other wiring under the center console! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Great video and channel mate. Just came across your channel as I've got them buttons on my RS3 and the Engine Start/Stop is a bit temperamental!! Awesome content 👌
I have SQ5 2015 . The connector of the start stop button is only with 4 pins. What color of two pins I need to change with the wire that came with the steering wheel?
Extraordinary work , thanks for share. Please one question : I have audi Q2 without paddle shifters. How could connect new steering whel with paddle to the DSG? Thank you very much
Thanks so much for posting this video, it was HUGELY helpful, I just completed this mod to my car. Can I ask: when you push the start or drive select button with your headlights lights off does half the start button illuminate? I think its an off centre status light, and it looks just a little strange, and wonder if its normal? I think I can see yours does it at 24:58 ?
Im doing this myself, but im running into an issue with the start and srive select button. Ive got power but thats all, i see blue/gray/white wires. I took pins 3 and 6 then put them into the conversion harness. Ive switched wires but nothing is working. Do you know what the 3 colors are for the conversion harness?
I think leather airbag cover is very unsafe mod. Airbag cover has a deep groove inside. When airbag explodes it breaks airbag cover in half, right exactly where this groove is. With airbag cover covered in leather and sewed around with strong thread you altered conditions for airbag explosion, and now nobody knows what will happen in case of accident - who knows if airbag will be powerful enough to rip leather, and even if, is airbag will inflate in correct direction and with correct power (maybe ripping leather will consume so much energy so airbag will not inflate enough to protect your head). If I would be in your pants, I would at least buy another airbag, and combine it with this leather airbag cover and explode it in garage to to test what happen.
You do know the original plastic is harder than the leather on this airbag and it goes through easily (seen it first hand)… He won’t have any trouble with the leather ripping to deploy the airbag..
I see what you mean. But just keep in mind the screw is meant to hold the trip to the guide. It basically anchors it, if you drill it large so the guide hole goes through you won't be anhcoring it anymore
Is it turn key? There should be a way but you'll start have to turn your key to the ACC power position and use the button use the button to crank. As for this kit I'm unsure if it will have everything necessary for it to work with that kind of application. If you have a start button on your centre console then it should work just lole the video
I'm confused how you got the drive select to work,. I thought that was what the blue wire you left disconnected was for. I didn't see you do anything to the drive select connector in the video. Thx!
@@ammi1184Can this be confirmed (setting of * Button)? I read about programming with an OBD interface and ODIS E 🤷♂️. In other cases there is an other module for the drive select button connected to the center button console. I am confused…
The power cable you connected to the usb port instead of the fuse box, does it affect anything? I'm usually skeptical doing that if the supplier supplied a fuse connector
I have seen that your multifunction buttons on the steering wheel light up for 2 or 3 seconds after you switched the ignition off at 25:14. I have got the same problem after installed the buttons, could you fixed the problem?
hi i install in my audi rs3 2016 the driver select have only light no change the driving mode and the start button dont work at all can you help me please do you have facebook that i can talk to you?
if i dont want to tap the red wire into my usb connector, where do you think should i put the fuse to? Do you know how many amp it needs? I purchased my kit with a steering wheel, did not come with any instructions at all. thank you for your DIY, it looks great!
@@ChampagneS3 thank you! I also tried to wire pin 3, pin 6 and pin 5, to no available. ( my kit is like yours except I need to wire 3 pins)… I was able to see that the buttons on my steering wheel transmits a signal to the motherboard receiver ( I see the blue light every time I press on start/stop or drive select). Got a 2020 B9.5, so a bit different… your guide was really helpful!
Okay I found one fuse slot from the accessories fuse panel on the side (not the footwell). Also , I found out why I didn’t have anything, the connector has two clips to remove before inserting pin 3 and 6
When you removed and reinstalled the airbag, did any dash lights/errors appear that weren’t there before? And if so, were you able to remove them? I’m looking to swap the airbag cover but was curious if you had any dash lights/notifications appear?
You will get lights on the dash at first due to the fact the battery was disconnected. Once you drive for a few mins they all clear. So you should be good 👍
Hi, very nice tutorial! Really learned a lot from it :). A question, isn't replacing the airbag cover with an unoriginal one voiding your insurance in some way? And is it safe to do this yourself? I can imagine if you place it back slightly wrong, the airbag may not go off or not entirely correct.
Hey, The video is a great help but mine keeps getting stuck at one side like it did in you tutorial when you uncliped the 2nd hole but mine doesn’t unclip no matter how much i tried, It looks like its uncliped from both sides but for some reason one corner stays stuck , Is there anything you can suggest for me to try pls
@@ChampagneS3 you're right - turns out the tiny connector on the right side of the steering column. The red wire kept slipping out of the connector. Got it figured out but that dang airbag cover takes the longest of all the steps in my opinion 😅🤣 even though I did it like 5 times
I did it and After i turn off the car, the start stop button sets on automaticlly by itself, do you know where could be the problem? It starts without pressing the button
@@ChampagneS3 Thanks for you reply, I sent you a direct email b/c RUclips for some reason will not allow me to post a reply here. Possibly b/c I added her links into my response.
The button feel is very OEM. At first I didn't like how the start button looked in certain light angles. However once I saw that both buttons actually illuminate it quickly changed my opinion. Very happy with this kit. Gauge pod and gauge is from one of my sponsors Aeroforce Technology. They sell custom faceplates for their gauges with many makes and models available, a pretty cool option
@@Lolman5182 the link I used to buy it is actually broken now. Just search up on aliexpress either "mqb start button" or "R8 start button for mqb" just make sure you buy the one for your car either facelift or prefacelift versions.
@@ChampagneS3 good video thank you so much ^^If I put it in neutral gear, turn off the engine, and disconnect the negative terminal, does the steering wheel turn?
The steering wheel is stock with the exception of the mods I installed in this video. The buttons, steering wheel wrap and air bag cover are what I installed.
@@ChampagneS3 Thanks for the info. There is a company refitting these steering wheels to the previous Gen TTs. I thought your steering wheel was after market but it's good to know it is an OEM quality wheel.
brought 2 different ones for 2 different shops, drive select works on both but start button both dont work! wired up exactly this video still doesnt work buyers be aware!
