Just a thank you, really, for having this forum as an invaluable resource for Transit owners. It enabled me to:
Identify which donor steering wheel to use.
Find out which BCM and wiring loom were needed.
Which VCM clone to buy.
Where to find matching IDS software.
How to use the software - thanks especially to Loot.
How to remove the airbag in order to get to the steering wheel nut.
And so I got hold of a leather steering wheel with cruise control buttons AND the airbag off eBay for £25 delivered. It came from a 2004 Focus C-Max which had only done 40,000 miles - the wheel is like new. The original airbag was refitted as the C-Max had two connectors on the back.
A link to Vantuner's website allowed me to identify I already had the correct BCM and wiring harness so no modifications were needed there.
I used IDS v86.04 and a VCX Nano II dongle to switch cruise control on.
Whole job was done in under an hour, start to finish.
Just need to swap the engine for a runner now to see if it all works. Any takers......?
