  Car model and year: Mercedes Sprinter 316 BlueTEC, 2014, 2.2 CDI, 163 Hp   Symptom: Mercedes Benz dealer upgraded the car ECU, now I used  Launch X431 Pad VII  to read and clear the trouble codes, but not able to identify the ECU.

2011 Cayenne S MF Steering Wheel Coding with Launch X431 V+

  My newly acquired 2011 Porsche Cayenne S does not even have volume control on the steering wheel. I changed from 2011 sport design wheel to 2011 MF (multi-function) steering wheel. This is the sport design wheel. This is actually an option. From standard it comes with MF (multi-function) steering wheel. It looks like this I see some very inexpensive used multifunction wheels out there.  I do have a Launch X431 V+ pro v4.0 table for coding. It was pretty simple with the X431 and MF activation hex code. I successfully replaced my Sport steering wheel with the big flappy paddles and no other controls with a standard multifunction wheel. All I needed: The wheel (bought from ebay at $115) An activation hex code (generated from Russian website for $100) Launch X431 V+ v4.0  (or other X431 tablets  X431 PAD V ,  PAD VII  etc) How to swap MF steering wheel with X431 V+?: Follow settings in Launch X431 V Pro: Go into system selection for  Steering Wheel Electronic > Special Function > F

Launch X431 V+ or PIWIS-III for Porsche Diagnosis?

I have the Launch X431 V+ Pros Mini which I purchased new from obdii365 for $1079. I also have a PIWIS III clone V38.90 that i purchased from another website for $1429. I purchased the Launch X431 V+ with the intent of using it to flash a used control module for my car. When I discovered that the Launch X431 V+ could not do that I purchased a PIWIS III clone with the intention of selling the Launch X431 V+ but I have not got around to selling it yet because it is so much easier to use then the PIWIS III.Here is what I have done so far with each one. Launch X431 V+ : Cleared all the fault codes stored in the car. Activated the Aux setting in PCM (PCM/CDR) I had to add an aux cable to the PCM to make use of this one. Changed the number of flashes for one touch turn signal from 3 to 5 (Front-end Electronics) Activated Comfort entry windows up/down via keyfob (Front-end Electronics) Changed the speed when the doors auto lock, 3 mph to 20 mph (Front-end electronics) Changed the speed when
