    Hi All,

    I have just bought a Mini F57 Convertible which is great. The question I ask is I changed the steering wheel from a non-button wheel to a multi function wheel however I cannot get any of the buttons on the steering wheel to work (audio or cruise control).

    I have a paid version of Bimmercode however again I cannot see where I would get any codes to activate the buttons.

    Can someone please help or advise

    Thanks in advance.

    Steve

    Depending on the spec of the car it may not be plug and play
    The cars in front are New MINI Scotland

    You’ll need more than BimmerCode to code MFSW. It’ll need to be coded with something along the lines of ISTA

    Hi, With Bimmercode I have managed to get the volume buttons working however nothing else yet, the problem I see is nowhere on internet seems to be able to give the codes to activate.

    For cruise you’ll need to turn lots of things on, things that im
    it sure BimmerCode seem to register. I’ve done a bit with Carly and Binmercode in the past but sadly they don’t allow full access, I’ve tried to use them for switching between standard seats and JCW recaros with little success.
