BUT.
I was thinking of two alternatives:
1. Install the same G30 M Steering Wheel with Heating as well. Since now the button is on the wheel itself, I belive I don't need to change the SZL like for F cars. 
I understand the wiring might be already there as part of the Driving Assistant (not plus) package that I already have on the car. So it might be just coding needed. Any inputs on this?
2. Install the G20 M Steering Wheel - but I'm not sure they will be compatible. What I do like is that FINALLY I have a "Next Track" button on the wheel itself on the G20. I have not found anything concrete yet as if it can work with coding. Some people say it will not, as the G30 2018 is using the ID6 software while G20 has the new ID7.
Anyone have any clue on this one? - Although this option is more expensive, as I'd end up buying the Airbag as well in this case. |
you can have a g30 post July 2019 wheel with the ID7 buttons
mine has the next and previous track buttons, very handy indeed.
I'm not sure whenever it needs coding however I'm convinced you need to activate (code) the heating steering wheel availability as when we switch it on, an info message appears in the dash.
On a side query, do all g30 MY2020 M-Sport steering wheels have the vibration capability?
mine did not came with the Lane Departure Warning, would be interesting to find out if that could be codable alone
