Problem with the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel of a 2008 BMW 7 Series - looking for solutions and workshop experience

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2010 BMW 5 Series. I would describe myself as someone with some car knowledge. So, I had it checked at my garage and they said that the wiring to the shift center on the steering column was defective. That cost me a total of 95 euros. Maybe that's exactly the case for you? It would be helpful if you could give a few more details about your car, for example mileage or similar, so that we can help you more accurately. Good luck with the repair!

Hey, thanks for the info! So my 7 has pretty much 150,220 km on the clock and the last service was done about a year ago. If that helps, the steering wheel is the original one that came with the car when I bought it. Maybe the high mileage has something to do with the damage, I have read that such problems often occur with similar models when the car has reached a certain age. Thanks again for your help, I hope I can drive again soon without any problems!

Hello again! Given the mileage and age of the car, it could well be that some components are simply worn out and need replacing. In my 5 Series, the control cables on the steering column were actually affected, as I mentioned earlier. It's quite possible that this is also the case with your 7 Series. I would recommend you visit a garage and have them check it out. The 95 euros I paid for it seemed quite fair to me. And then everything worked perfectly again! I hope this helps you and you can use your car to its full potential again soon. Good luck with that!

Hey, thanks again! I think I'll take your advice and go to the dealership to get it checked out. The 95 euros sounds really fair if the car works again afterwards. That would indeed be the easier solution than constantly driving around with a broken steering wheel. If anyone else has any tips, I am of course open to them. Hopefully I'll be back on the road soon without the steering wheel driving me crazy! Thanks for the support.

Hello, what kind of car do you have exactly?

(Translated from German)

Hi I had the same problem where my mulit function switche was not working. When looking at my clock spring, noticed where the mulit function switch plugs in to find there was no pins in the switch connection point. So I just replaced the clock spring for £14 and now it's all working correctly

Hy have a BMW F31 and have changed the buttons on the steering wheel so that I now have the steering wheel with cruise control, unfortunately this could not be coded or unlocked with Carly. What can I do now? Mfg
