Hi all,

 

I have added a new steering wheel for my 15 XL. I have the extended license of forscan and was able to get cursive control working and the new cluster control on the left side of the wheel no problem.

 

the issue, I’m having is even after programming forscan bcn main for Audio controls I still can’t get any lights or controls for those right side audio controls.


current clock spring has all control pins

As you can see from the last photo attached, there is no illumination on the right side button controls.

 

Another sidenote, weird that the buttons are illuminated when the car doesn’t have the headlight switch on.

I have attached drawings showing the clockspring connections. The lights for the right side buttons are powered from a cable that is connected to the left side buttons. Look at C260 in the diagram and confirm you have this separate cable.

 

The radio (ACM) buttons are shown in the diagrams. The signals go from the buttons to the FCDIM module, then get sent on the network to the ACM. You may not have the FCDIM.  Use Forscan to see if the PIDs for the ACM buttons read the status change when the buttons are pressed.

 

The buttons are always illuminated.

I checked my TC and the SW switch PIDs are in the FCDIM. Here is a screenshot of the right switches when I am pressing the Vol Down button

Yes. There is a Forscan app for Apple. Check the Forscan website for details. Payment has been a problem for Forscan.

I have it but not sure where you’re seeing that info it’s super limited

You have to enable reading PIDs. Click on Table icon in the main page. Then go to the gear icon and look for PIDs in the module. It is not intuitive, but once you find the PID you click on it. Now you have a list of PIDs. Then you click the Play icon. Like I said, it takes some trial and error but eventually you will learn how to do it.
