How to activate multifunction display on a T5.1 with lowline screen?

Im looking at fitting cruise to my 2010 T5.1 and have noticed both on here, and on the Hazzy Days website that MPG, trip etc can be activated on the lowline dash display and controlled using a wiper stalk which has the trip buttons on it.

What I need to know is whether I need to run a wire to power the stalk and one down to the BCM? (as people have had to do in order to get the trip to work when fitting a MFSW)

Has anybody else done this?
Or can anyone PM me a wiring diagram in the hope that I can work it out please?

Many, many thanks

Rich.

I know this is a bit of a thread resurrection, but, if you'll indulge me.

Just stumbled across this post whilst trying to add the trip stalk to my other half's 2011 Polo, looking at the ELSAWIN diagrams for the pinouts this is exactly the same (pins 18, 23 and 24 of T41, and 21, 22 and 23 of T32).

Can anyone tell me what repair wires I need to order so I get the right pin types on the ends of the cables?

Thanks.

Did you connect the three wires as stated above 18-21 23-22. 24-23. ? Only I thought it was

Still no mfd from rh buttons.
Instrument 7E0 920 960 A and central elec 7H0 937 087 B.
Extra wires fitted as per instructions (3 from clockspring to inst, 1 from clockspring to +12v live and 1 from clockspring to central elec.
All coding in vcds correct. Everything checked and treble checked. Still no mfd via this buttons on mfsw!!! Everything else works....!?!

Hi, thanks for the replies. My clocks are 7E0 920 960 A

Currently, VCDS shows this for central electrics:
Address 09: Cent. Elect. (J519) Labels:. 7H0-937-08x-09.clb
Part No SW: 7H0 937 087 B HW: 7H0 937 087 B
Component: BCM T5GP H+4 H46 0207

Shop #: WSC 02736 790 00000
VCID: 33331AE44B3078139E9-8066

Subsystem 1 - Part No: 1K0 951 605 C
Component: LIN BACKUP HO H05 1501

Subsystem 2 - Part No SW: 3C8 959 537 D HW: 3C8 959 537 D
Component: E221__MFL-TK6 H07 0022
Serial number: xxxxxxx
Coding: E20000
Interestingly, 3C8 959 537 D is the left hand buttons. The right hand buttons are 3C8 959 537 G, VCDS shows that the MFSW controls for MFD+,-, Reset are working as the input bit changes in real time when I press them, showing that the vehicle knows the button inputs are related to the MFD, and that they work...

Could it be that I need to recode 3C8 959 537 D? Has anyone got a different coding showing for their switch module?

Morning all, yet another thread reserection, sorry folks! I am about to fit a MK6 golf wheel to my T5.1 2012, do i need extra wires for the MFD to work running from the slip ring to the BCM/clocks besides the 12v switched live and Linbus. Also other threads i have read state the live must be permanent to the MFSW which seemed odd. I have the MFD stalks which are not wired in however i dont want to connect them at all if i dont need to. My van has the lowline clocks and 087 BCM and cruise has already been fitted. There is so much information on this subject but nothing particularly clear.

I wish these vans were as simple as the T4 sometimes, not much i havent done on my T4, this is a different ball game.

Right i have just pieced together a point of work check sheet for this. Does this read ok to the experts out there?

Repair wires from Stalks to Instrument cluster.



Pin 24 (Stalk) to Pin 21 (cluster)

Pin 23 (Stalk) to Pin 22 (cluster)

Pin 18 (Stalk) to Pin 23 (cluster)



Repair wires for MFSW

Position 9 (Stalk) +12V to Pin 15 (light switch) constant live (should this be switched or constant??)


Position 10 (Stalk) LIN bus to position 17 (bcm white plug) solder to Violet/white or blue/green wire

Sources are the California forum, Veedubhub, UK Polos.net, a mixture of the three.

well it all works fine, could have saved myself the trouble of running wires to the cluster though as apparently they are not needed with the mfsw. Live and learn! The main thing is it works :)

Glad to hear it worked! Out of interest, what are the part numbers for your clocks, and which letter 87 BCU do you have? I’ve fitted what appears to be the same spec, and the trip stalk works but the mfd doesn’t work from the MFSW. I’ve fitted stalks without trip on, and even removed the three wires, but it still won’t work- stereo works perfectly however!

Did you code it for the clocks? Bcm is 7H0937087M clocks were low line but I have since had 2018 T6 Highline clocks installed. Mfd worked fine on the low line clocks on mine though, a few more features on the T6 ones!
This is on my never ending 'to do' list .....maybe one day 🙃
Not that hard to do mate, it’s just two wires from the stalks to 12v and Linbus on the bcm and a bit of coding.

I actually got hold of a set of T6 clocks from Facebook after speaking to a guy from Luton who does these swaps all the time. I took them to him and In less than an hour and £80 lighter in the pocket it was done. If you use T6 clocks there are software numbers which cannot be made to work, normally the last years of production, mine were 2018. You will also need to use the front moulding and glass from your original clocks. Probably best to give him a shout as he often has clocks ready to be installed. Drop me a pm and I will give you his name so you can look him up.
