Chorus 3 radio: Support for multi function steering wheel?

[SchrodingersCat]

Hi!I am currently in the process of upgrading my standard steering wheel to a multi function steering wheel.
I have bought a new steering column clock spring module (8K0953568F) and multi function steering wheel.


With VCDS, in "16-Steering Module", under long coding, I was able to select the multi function steering wheel from the drop down box, click "do it", and the coding was accepted.





Next, I went into "56-Radio", long coding, and then clicked on the "Multi function steering wheel installed". Unfortunately, when I went to "do it" I got the dreaded "Coding rejected Error 31: request out of range".








I have the base Chorus 3 radio installed. Does anybody know if this radio supports the multi function steering wheel? if so, how can I activate it?

A good place to start is to use the latest version of VCDS - http://download.ross-tech.com/VCDS/d...-Installer.exe

Are you sure, you have right 8K0953568F module for that? I just remember seen one case with stalk retrofit and there was no result also. Just a guess it might be issue here also or radio wiring needs modifications.

Thanks for the respoinse guys.
@Chris, Are you saying that VCDS 15.7 doesnt support Multi Function Steering Wheel activation of the Chorus 3 radio? -I have updated the software but I am still getting the same error :-/

@Gunnark100, thanks for the information. I bought the 8K0953568F module off an American guy on ebay.com. I believe that the 8K0953568F clock module supports MFSW for the following reasons:
1. The module accepted the VCDS coding to enable the MSFW. I didnt get an "Error 31: Request out of range"
2. The website here http://www.cars-equipment.com/www/en/shop/steering-wheel-modules-3/oem-8k0953568f-multifunction-steering-wheel-controler/ specifies that this clock module supports a MSFW.

As i said, it was just a guess...

Have you sedan or estate?
But, do you have stalks with onboardcomputer buttons and cruise control also and they all work, any of wheel buttons work or not, which wheel you brought?

As for Chris post, for example cracked software has lack of function and changing radio coding is one of them!

Copy from audizine, as you see mfsw and chorus work together!

None of the steering wheel buttons would work after retrofit Concert stereo.

My original radio system was chorus and i retrofit the Concert stereo.

Hi!
Thanks for the response Gunnark100. I have a sedan. I previously had a 8K0 953 502 C stalks (sticks), 8K0 953 568 D clock spring and 8k0 419 091 A 1KT non-multi function steering wheel. I wanted to get cruise control and MSFW, so I retrofitted 8K0 953 502 BD stalks, 8K0 953 568 F clock spring and the steering wheel shown here:

I programmed in the Cruise control with the 15.7 VCDS software with no issue, it is now working great. However, none of the controls on the steering wheel work with the Chorus 3 radio. The clock module accepted the MSFW code change, but the radio did not.

Do you have a link the article on Audiozine where they got the MSFW working with the Chorus 3 radio?

Thanks for your help!
