    mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    Here are some pics,

    The Head lights are euro non adaptive HID headlights, simple plug and play install. I got the headlights along with the newer kufatec harnesses from performance cafe. i followed this DIY. you'll notice that the head lights have amber corners, this is correct, only till the later models did the euro headlights come cleared. also those are adaptive i believe and require more component install. i actually like the amber corner contrary to most peoples taste. These will compliment the euro tails i have on the way from oempl.us, which have amber turn signals.

    http://forums.audiworld.com/a4b7/msgs/93217.phtml





    and for those that are going from halogen to HID. The vag com setting i used was 00031. this gets rid of the constant on of the turn signals, and shuts off the DRL's. and the high beams will function properly. my halogen settings i had previously had was 00001, which still allows you to use the headlights, but the bi-xenon motors don't work and the DRL's end up your "high beams". search the 20 dollar ebay vag com thread for more info. or if you have an actually ross-tech vagcom like i do, then the optional code list pops up.

    The mk2 tts-line steering wheel, i picked up from dobos here on audizine. in order for this to work 100%, you need to swap the harnesses and re wire a little bit, i will draw up a hand sketch and take a picture, and post up later. drawing in paint is a pain. and to get the paddles to work, all you need to do i change the vag settings.

    also note, the main yellow harness wont fit from the mk2 tt into the steering columns harness, the a4 and tt harnesses may look the same but you'll noticed they are keyed differently. if you try to shave the tt plug to get it to fit. (like the first time i tried to install this), the horn will NOT work nor will the lights on the steering wheel.

    go to the steering wheel module, and go to recode, on the high head ross-tech cable with the new software, it will pop up a coding menu on the side so whatever the code that in your car at the moment, just +1 to the third # from the left. my original code was 02021, the new code 02121. you can do this with the old ross tech software and the ebay cable.





    hope this helps anyone else that attemps the steering wheel install

    Looks good. I also like the amber in the headlights, although most don't.

    Do you have any other pictures of the steering wheel from a little further back?

    dobos100, i think that's his name here on audizine. i got it for 860ish with airbag. good deal for what they typically go for.

    search on ebay. you'll find them there also.

    Re: mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    the podi is nice, i'm so used to it now, but yeah it blocks the speedo a bit, depending on your seating position and wheel position, you're view will change. right now i can't see anything below 20mph. which really has no significant impact on my view.

    I'm glad you are happy with the wheel, and appreciate the mention.
    The pictures look great, with your permission I'd like to use them if I may for the listing.
    Thank you and enjoy.

    Here are the diagrams to help with the minor rewiring to get the steering wheel to work 100%

    Re: mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    why cant you just used the a4 harness and not the tt one? would that make it easier?

    Re: mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    you can't use the a4 harness directly, when you see the harness's side by side you'll see why, some of the plugs are different sizes. its only a matter of swapping leads thats all.

    the TT's air bag has two points that need a ground, hence the two leads on the TT harness. and the plug for the horn on the a4 harness wont fit on the tab on the TT airbag.

    also the main yellow harness looks similar, but its "keyed" differently. so it won't pop into the black receptacle in the steering column.


    when you put the airbags side by side, there are minor differences, that require you to change leads/taps.

    audinoob06: The wheel looks great!

    Could you take more pics of it from further away? I wanna see how it flows with the rest of the interior.

    Re: mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    A quick pic with my point and shoot. here you can see how the steering wheel looks against the dashboard.

    Also, not the TID Styling paddle shifter extensions. Just a fun little addition.

    Re: mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    No..vivid racing sells Agency Power Paddles shifters, which i think look cheap and bulky. And you have to take apart your steering wheel to install.


    The ones i have are made by TID Styling. Which look better, and are a simple stick on install. comes with 3M's VHB (very High Bond) twin-stick tape. as long as you prep the surfaces properly, the adhesion is super super strong.

    Thanks for the pic. How does the steering wheel feel compared to the originals? Better grip etc?

    Re: mk2 tt steering wheel and e-code HID swapped in

    the leather is fresh, so its a bit more grippy. and it feel a bit lighter, but not totally sure, might just be in my head.
