I installed my SAT shifter today and all went well, very easy, 30 minutes tops. I have a problem though, the dealer sent me part number 6985886 which is the black and aluminium cover piece but it is for a left hand drive car when mine is right hand drive. Also the surround on the part sent is black plastic when the old one I removed is covered in black leather, so does anyone know the part number for the leather covered part for a right hand drive car?
Also my new sport button doesn't seem to do anything, I have checked that it is plugged in properly and when pressed the light comes on but no difference in steering weight, is this because I have active steering?
One tip, don't close the boot when you have disconnected the battery like I did, it won't open again! I had to climb through the boot to reconnect the battery!
Thanks for your help

The touring doesn't have a keyhole in the boot. Are you still up for a bit of coding BLooD?

I fitted my steering wheel with paddles today and connected up the wires to the szl, BLooD is coding it for me at the weekend but I thought I'd check everything worked with a multimeter first. So I put my meter on the end of the wire which goes to x6031 in the ebox, the wire was not yet connected so I expected to see voltage coming from the szl with the ignition on but nothing!
I have already asked BLooD this question and he isn't 100% sure, would I still get voltage from pin 13 of x1880 on the szl without coding?
I am expecting to see 12v when in park, 3.7 to 3.8v when in drive, 2.4 to 2.5v for an upshift and 1.2 to 1.25v for a downshift as per the SIB, but I have nothing at all.
Just to confirm I joined pin 13 of x1880 on the szl to pin 11 of x6031 in the e box, I also connected ground to pin 12 of x6031 in the szl.
I am visiting BLooD on Sunday so perhaps the coding will make it work?
Any help would be much appreciated.
