Steering Wheel Control Module Versions
From Ross-Tech Wiki
Registered VCDS users encountering difficulty can join and post in the Retrofits section of our forum. Please include the Auto-Scan prior to the retrofit in addition to the Auto-Scan after the replacement parts were installed if assistance is needed.
If in doubt check the Parts Catalog and order based on the VIN or based on the Original Part Number. In any case the Catalog should interpret the Part and provide you with a Part Number that superseded the Original Part Number. The final Part Number you will get is normally a Highline Module which you can verify based on the Table below.
- A hyphen or "-" means No
- TBD: We do not have information on the configuration at the present time.
- Slip Rings
- Type 1: 1K0-959-653 and 1K0-959-653-A
- Type 2: 1K0-959-653-C and 1K0-959-653-D
- Software Level
- This can be checked in the Component Field of the Open Controller Screen
- Variant
- Lowline: No additional Options/Features
- Midline: Cruise Control, Board Computer
- Highline: Cruise Control, Board Computer, Multi-Function Steering Wheel
- Steering Angle Sensor
- Yes: The Steering Angle Sensor (G85) is installed directly at the Steering Wheel/Slip Ring.
- No: The Steering Angle Sensor (G85) is part of the Electro Mechanical Steering Assist.
- LIN Version
- The LIN version number should be shown
- - means that LIN is not supported by this controller
- Notes:
- #1: Depending on the hardware version of this module, it MAY or MAY NOT allow Cruise Control Retrofitting, so replacing the Steering Wheel Control Module may be required.
- #2: Manual Transmission only, does NOT support Ignition Key Lock.
- #3: Based on feedback this unit MAY or MAY NOT allow Cruise Control Retrofitting. Replacing the Steering Wheel Control Module may be required.

5K0-953-569 Special notes:
- 5K0-953-569-E appears to support Automatic transmission only with KESSY. This module does not appear to support the coding for Automatic Transmission (Ignition Key Removal Lock) installed per this thread.
- 5K0-953-569-T using software levels 0122 and 0136 should support LIN 1.3 steering wheels in addition to LIN 2.0 per the feedback here: Passat B6 steering wheel upgrade to MK6
- 5K0-953-569-T had a TPI which flashed the SWL to 0140 and we believe it would support LIN1.3 as well per that thread.
- 5K0-953-569-AK may support 8T2 - Cruise control system (CCS) electronic with 2ZH Leather multi-function steering wheel controls. That should be cruise control via MFSW buttons but feel free to post in our forum if needed.
- Feedback would be appreciated if 5K0-953-569-C supports G85 coding.
- 5K0-953-569-AL
- We received e-mail feedback specific to 5K0-953-569-AL related to rejected Byte 02, Bit 0 "Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) installed (PQ46 only)" coding. This module does not appear to be factory installed in 3C/35 chassis models with PQ46 ESCL and may NOT be compatible resulting in DTC: 02823 - Requirements for Locking the Steering Column Lock not met.
- There's a (NAR market) 2017 (5N) Tiguan Limited without CCS horror story related to factory installed Part No SW: 5K0 953 501 CL HW: 5K0 953 569 AJ module. That SW# was dropped by VW and replacement HW# 5K0-953-569-AL modules have incompatible software with the TCM. The VW "fix" to resolve P1867/18275 - Powertrain Data Bus - Missing Message from Steering Wheel (J527) is located in post #49: here.
- 5K0-953-569-BC Appears to only support CCS via MQB platform steering wheel buttons. Feedback specific to MFSW 2K0 959 442 A can be found here and a factory condition scan with this combination can be found here.
- 5K0-953-569-BF Appears to only support CCS via MQB platform steering wheel buttons ([CNL] and CCS on left side of wheel). It does NOT appear to support CCS via stalk per the feedback in post #8: here.
