MULTIFUNCTION Steering Wheel: Introduction
Depending on the equipment version in the vehicle, an optional multifunction steering wheel is available:
- The multifunction steering wheel with audio, multifunction display (MFD) and telephone operation
- The multifunction steering wheel with audio, MFD, telephone and Cruise Control
If no multifunction steering wheel is installed in the vehicle, the functions can be operated using the left and right steering column switches.
If the vehicle is equipped with a dual clutch gearbox (DSG), then paddle levers are located on the multifunction steering wheel.
A new feature of the 2015 Golf is the inclusion of the multifunction steering wheel in a network. This module was previously a LIN slave to the Steering Column Electronics Control Module -J527-. Now it is connected directly to the Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- as a LIN LIN slave. The signals from the multifunction steering wheel are transmitted via the coil connectors and the steering column electronics control unit, but for wiring reasons only.
