Ahh well this is disappointing, because I just changed steering wheels to one from a 2010 to do the paddle shift retro fit... I used the multi-function switches from the new wheel too and unfortunately this had no affect on steering wheel controls.

I wonder if it could be fixed with and MCU change.. since these companies make devices for CCC units, then surely the MCU on those units would be able to interpret the CANBUS frames from a CCC based car...

I have reached out to both JoyeAuto and Kremersino to see if either is willing to share information around whether the CIC / CCC units are the same hardware with different MCU's.. no reply as yet.
