OK, I can definitively say you can not use a non-MSFW on an MSFW car by just swapping out the clock spring.

On non-MSFW controls it is not just missing the guts on the clock spring itself, but also on the stalks section.
It will never work.

I know it has been bandied about earlier, but there was some debate back and forth about swapping the clock spring.

I bought a cruise control set from another member on here and he said he had it in his car with MSFW after swapping the clock spring. Not sure how that could be the case, but not trying to cast doubt or anything on him either.

OK, so that leaves me with a set of controls for an E87 with rear wipers, non-auto wipers, non-MSFW that are surplus and a need for a set for an E87 with rear wipers, non-auto wipers, MSFW. I don't suppose anyone needs to do a swap do they after buying the wrong set?

May have to sell this set and buy the correct set.

That's really interesting! I fitted my cruise control yeaterday and lost my mfsw, took off the whole slip ring assembly again today and fitted the clock spring cartridge off my non cruise setup and the mfsw worked perfectly as before! I wonder if the slip ring srtup I initially bought had a broken wire in the clock spring cartridge then? I didn't have any lights on the steering buttons and after swapping clock spring it all works perfectly and actually is more responsive than previously (atleast it feels like it).

Thank you guys. I appreciate your answers

It's only DSC & KOMBI. Then run the Tool32 job

I just gave the last part of the guide another try. I have the German version. I come to the point where I see the parts to get coded. DSC and KOMBI are both there so that should be fine. When I'm processing the car afterwards it does the "christmas tree". BUT it stops and says that the coding failed showing a small window which says:

"Fehler in CABD! Siehe CABI.ERR und ERROR.LOG!
COAPI-2020: SG antwortet nicht IFH-0009: SG nicht angeschlossen oder meldet sich nicht FRM-87
COAPI-2020: SG antwortet nicht SG_codieren"

My German isn't good, but as I understand it:

There's a fail in CABD (wonder what that is). Look at CABI.ERR and ERROR.LOG!
COAPI-2020: ECU doesn't answer IFH-0009: ECU isn't associated or doesn't "answer" FRM-87
COAPI-2020: ECU doesn't answer ECU-coding

So what does this mean?

I know this is an old post but I had the exact same issue yesterday. KOMBI was first in the list to code on NCSExpert then next was 2mulf and it kept failing with the same error code. I got around this by setting the DSC ecu to code individually and it worked perfectly fine. I couldn't get DIS to load the car or the error codes to recalibrate the angle sensor but my car hasn't thrown a fault code and works perfectly fine so I've left it and it drives perfectly with everything working.

Just as a question other than the display telling me what speed the cruise is set to is there any other dash lights or anything that lights up with it engaged???

 

[SupernoodlesRS]

you only need to code DSC & Kombi.

use Tool 32 to reset the steering angle sensor, DIS is difficult to set up & get working. Search this thread for instructions on how to use Tool32.

Oh perfect I have that installed already, will give it a go - thanks

I've got an E82 135i (N55). I've been wanting to fit CC for a while - I decided to check RealOEM to see if hte part fits. There are many part numbers - which one is the best fit for my car? They're all available on Ebay. My car has rain sensing wipers so I need the cruise control part with the button on the end you can press with an "A" & a green light on the wiper end,

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partxref?id=UC92-EUR-10-2010-E82-BMW-135i&mg=&q=9110887

What does "Exchangable retrospectively" mean in this context? Also, there's 9 part numbers total - which one do I want? Shall I just pick the newest one? But the newest one (61319169072 (12/31/2007 ---) says it is "nonexchangeable retrospectively". What does this mean? Would be appreciated if someone can tell me the part # to buy!

Hello!

I attempted to this today... physical part, easy and simple.

Then I coded everything: $540 to CAS and NFRM, and then the other part to KOMBI and DSC. Later with Tool32 calibration. No errors on dash... buuuut, it's not working. Stalks doesn't work now! Just BC anf MFSW works, every other thing doesn't work: blinkers, wipers, tempomat.

I checked connections twice, they are all ok. I exchanged the steering angle sensor with my old one... same thing, doesn't work.

I thing I might be doing something wrong with coding: when I do $540 tp CAS and NFRM with the FA_WRITE its clear what to do, but what exactly should I code and how after this? How and what exactly should I code to KOMBI and DSC?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I went to my original setup: no Tempomat, and it works well... so either I'm not doing good coding, or the tempomat I used is not valid?

Tempomat I used: 9123051

 

[supercati]

Update on my previous message:

Installed tempomat stalks.
Added FA/VO $540
FA_WRITE to CAS and NFRM
SG_CODIEREN to CAS, NFRM, KOMBI, DSC
Tool32 to clear errors.

They just don't work. No blinkers, no wipers, no tempomat. BC and MFSW controls worked fine however.

Went back to my stock setup and deleting $540 and everything works fine as before (but no Tempomat ).

An user from here (thanks!) told me that probably the stalks I bought are probably defective, and there's nothing to do with them... so I will buy another ones and try again in some weeks, and post update on here

 

[supercati]

Another update:

Bought stalks with part number: 9123043

Installed tempomat stalks.
Added FA/VO $540
FA_WRITE to CAS and NFRM
SG_CODIEREN to CAS, NFRM, KOMBI, DSC
Tool32 to clear errors.

---> Tempomat working perfect!

- Thanks @clarker63

Now, just a final question: my new tempomat stalks work perfect, but the blinker stalk it's way much "harder" than my previous stock one. I need to do more effort/force to activate the blinkers without comfort touch.
It is possible to swap just this stalk from my NON-Tempomat stalks to my new Tempomat stalks?

Just to show pics of the fault:

What I think has happened - the slip ring had done a few rotations & the ribbon was at the max prior to install (ie you can only turn the steering wheel so much before you lock).

So when I installed the part & turned the wheel, the ribbon broke (I actually hear it snap but at the time, didn't know what it was).

Anyway - To all..... prior to install, I'd take the cover off & just ensure it hasn't been rotated too many time, otherwise this will happen to you!

Hello everybody,

The exact same thing just happened to me.
I've fitted the new MFSW + slip ring w/ CC stalk (2006 e87) yesterday and today as I was manoeuvering to park I heard a strange noise but I didn't realise at the time. Later when I picked up my car I noticed that the steering wheel wasn't lit and the button weren't responding.
I haven't taken off my steering wheel yet but I'm pretty sure it's gonna look exactly like jammy78's. I'm very disappointed.
Wibbles said something about repairing the ribbon cable, how exactly? Cheers

hello there i have 318d e91 2011y
i bouth cruise control steering column 9123041 from 320d e90 2010 and when i plug it the turn signal not working and wipers not working only bc button working
the cruise control is programed
where is problem that i have e91 but i bouth from e90 i replaced the wiper swich from my steering column
or just the steering column not working?
thanks.

You have the wrong part installed.

i need form e91? 4 cylinder?

 

[Jinx13]

Has anybody tried to do this retrofit on a F20?
No new stalk required, just a few buttons on the wheel.... but will the wheel replacement and coding alone do the trick?

Yes, I retrofitted cruise to my F20 - absolute piece of cake! I now have the LIM & Cruise functions.

Sorry an old post is it right that this part is in excess of £200?

Thank you

Hi sorry to resurrect an old thread but I need help with the coding.
I managed to swap everything over and the coding was going well until it came to process ECU and instead of SG_CODIEREN for the job name I have CODIERDATEN_LESEN.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to change the job at this point? $540 has remained in the VO.

Cheers, Sam

Contact BR diagnostics a forum sponsor and speak to Craig (wibbles on the forum) and he may offer some help for a small fee. He'll have it sorted in no time mate.

Good luck

Thanks again Twenny, I think I'll have to before I mess anything up. He's not too far from me anyway so I've dropped him an email

Cheers

Excellent yes go see him ASAP mate.

I'd say mention my name but he'll probably add 20%!!!! LOL

Nah he's a top bloke and a proper legend when it comes to coding.

Let us know how you get on?

All sorted and coded thanks to Wibbles! Added alarm chirp and digital speedo at the same time too!

Sorted. Alarm chirp and speedo are great little extra too.

I don't recommend many people but Wibbles is top notch and worth every penny.

 

[HypoxicWaiter]

Big thanks to Wiggles for remote coding the cruise control into my car today! Very simple process to hook everything up. He even coded my electric mirrors to the key fob!

Followed RobtheVikings physical fitting guide which was great - I have MFSW so changed the process slightly. I found it easier to remove the airbag first before removing the plastic trim. Then disconnect the MFSW wire from the slipring.

Reconnecting the shrouds was fiddly and probably the hardest part tbh. You'll need an extender for the 16mm socket to undo the steering wheel - the nut sits quite deep in the wheel so access can be hard without an extender.

Oh and the bolts on the back of my steering wheel trim were T20 not T10.

I found pretty cheap switch unit from e91 320d 2008 for my 2005 e87. Only problem is the one I found has AUTO wipers, unlike my car. Few people on this thread have written that it will work without problems (and additionally there will be LED for intermittent wiping ). Can someone confirm this?
And also I will be adding mfsw but couldnt find which modules are affected (as dsc and kombi for cc) because I dont want to process the whole car? Thaaanks

 

[Bimmer112]

Anyone? I'm planning to buy it today
