Add MFSW to non-MFSW 3-spoke wheel ?
Looking at some used 2006 MCS's that have the 3-spoke wheel but no MFSW buttons. Can the MFSW features be retrofitted to the wheel?
I've found posts on people retrofitting existing 2-spoke MFSW to 3-spoke MFSW, but can't seem to locate if you can go from a non-MFSW to a MFSW setup.

To get an idea of what is involved, MotoringFile has the instructions for a 2-spoke MFSW retrofit: http://www.motoringfile.com/howto/MFSW.PDF. The document says 3.5 hours of labor. You would need updated instructions for a 2006 3-spoke but the procedure should be similar. MINI sells a retrofit kit: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...26&hg=66&fg=95

From what I understand all the 2006 MC & MCS already have all the wiring in the wheel, all you need is the panels with the buttons. As someone else mentioned the retrofit kit is like $382 from pelicanparts.com. Should only take about 30-45 mins to change out the panels, but you'll need to take it back to the dealer to have them tell the computer in your Mini to recognize the functions.
I too want to do this to my Mini, and I think I've read nearly every post on this topic, so hope it helps.
