How do I tell if the steering wheel is compatible?
Hi All
I have just acquired a heated wheel with cruise and flappy paddles for my 2009 D4 GS. Which at the moment has the stock wheel without paddles, heating or cruise.
I expect I will need a new rotary coupling but I’m sure I heard that a later wheel isn’t compatible with an earlier car???? Is this true? If so any idea how I tell the age as I have no idea what age car this is off!
Also anyone know of a guide for fitting these and I expect I will need the ccf updating as well??
Cheers
Edit pic of new wheel added!

Remove the right hand switch pack and look at which modual you have for the heated part or post the part number on here if its later the 2012-13 then it wont work Discovery 3 se gone

Great thanks, how do I remove a switch pack? Do they unclup or unscrew? Don’t want to force t and end up breaking it?

went to the garage and took a look at it. I think it’s from a 2016 or later car as there is 2016 date on one of the flappy paddles! Also removed the switch pack and the module has the MY14 Code on it.
Can I just replace the module or is this a no go from the start now??

I reckon you would need to replace the module, wiring loom and rhs switchpack.
It is doable but would be much easier and probably cheaper to get a setup from an earlier year
Good luck

Dgardel if he doesn't need the 2009 ECU can I buy it from you? I've just done a D4 heated wheel upgrade on my D3 with BBS boards and the wheel doesn't heat up and I've lost cruise.The steering wheel is from a 2016 car and I need an older one
