Ibiza 6j1 2012 Upgrade BCM 6R0937087K--->7H0937090 Cyclo HELP :)

Another thing you can do is connect the LIN wire for MFSW to the LIN wire of the T27/2 driver's door connector (Ibiza 6J) better than to the BCM T73b/17 connector, it is the same LIN, it will be infinitely easier and I am sure you will do better splicing/crimping with these wires.

The positive, "+15", can be taken from the fuse box under fuse protection. (SC8, ... SC1/2/3/etc...)

You've practically got it done, good luck with your searches and findings. It's already a piece of cake for you.

This is how some 6Rs have it done, but you (Ibiza 6J) have to take into account what I have written in the previous post.

Thanks for the extra info.

Only concern that I have it's how good will the new MFSW buttons correspond/transfer to the 2011 Ibiza 6j... please if you have some input on this:

My style of MFA (dumb) with no submenus/selections:

MFA+ from the 2016 Ibiza:

Not to forget the old command stalk corresponding to the left part of the new steering wheel:

I found this from an old post of yours that you pointed out that on Polo without a MFA+, some of the buttons will not work (probably same on Ibiza):

I assume/think that you will not lose any current functions, although without MFA+ you will be missing the menus that MFA+ has.

The voice control function is also not important if it is available in your radio system, because in a high percentage of cases the system does not understand or interprets your words as if you were an alien, sometimes it's maddening and other times it's fun. ...on some occasions, on long trips usually, I have played with my wife to see/check who was the first/the winner of the two to enter a complete address (step by step) into the navigation system without making any mistakes... it seems simple, but it ends up being a lot of fun.

In any case, the VW group is the first to sell cars with buttons that do not work.
You have to pay to have that function that the button performs, ...in case you are lucky enough to find a VW group dealership where the technicians know how to activate that function.

Thanks for the input

So funny with the voice control function, even in 2023 it’s implementation from car manufacturers is a hit and miss… I have it set as English US but imagine asking it to call non US names…

Well, if I’ll ever get to make this retrofit i’ll share it because there isn’t a lot of information about this online.

The steering wheel is not that that expensive but the airbag is… also this mod is more of a personal thing, not really needed because all of the functions are already there

Thanks

@Goolby
Did you find a way to make it work ? I'm kind of in the same situation.
I've already installed the SW, did the wiring + Vcds, the buttons lights up but not working..

Update : Nevermind, disabling the old MF module (CAN) with VCDS solved the issue, you don't have to just unplug it. Everything is working now !
