550 / 575M Owners... I smell a skunk - and I love it !

This might be another case where Ferrari assigned two different P/N's to the same part. Makes me want to look at the code in the stock 456M unit now.....

I'd also be curious to know how different the 456GT steering ECU is from the 456M. I've never seen either one, but if someone has one or both and is willing to loan them for a month or so, I'll have a look.

 

I am happy to send you my 456m’s controller later after I pick up the car and swap your controller on.

 

Cheers AR!

 

Just ordered...will see how it is!

John et al,
When I was originally doing deep dives on research…I don’t recall if we had one “list” for MSW cars like we do for the Fabio cars?

The “most” MSW cars (I think) are your and Dave’s prior plus @fatbillybob and Jon von bon’s.

I recall here on this thread @F456M has The cruise control.

Does anyone remember if there are more heavy MSW cars than this list?

Excited/grateful for all the neat stuff lately from @Cribbj @Ricambi America @Aerosurfer

 

Yes I have the cruise control. Can't live without it. I just set it on 130 mph. and take a nap through Germany. Can cruise all day long. Zero problemas!!!

 

Would love to See pictures and your set up of this

 

This is pretty rad regarding cruise control.

i see (and now recall) on one post Dave did 5 cruise control set ups.

 

Sorry guys I’ve been on the road and still am but Dave, FBB, myself, Erik And one other got the five cruise controls. As was typical of Dave he laid it all out fairly clearly so anyone could replicate as work. Sorry for spelling errors and bad punctuation, etc. but I’m using speech to text

 

I don't have the car near by, but can send some pics next time I see it.

 

Here are a few photos. I assume @F456M are similar.

I was going to order the steering module from Ricambi today but see that it's "Unavailable This item is not in our local inventory and we are unable supply this at the present time." Hopefully this is temporary. Is there anywhere else that this part can be ordered?

 

Daniel just ordered a batch from me so they should be back in stock soon!

 

Sounds good, thanks!

 

John *supposedly* my 456m arrives end next week (so the shipper says)

After I have my 456m controller (PN 174763) to you to check the curve? Shoot me a PM with your address.

I’m really curious what if looks like in comparison to the 575/550 unit….

 

Where is it it located on the 456? I couldnt make it out from the parts diagram and dont have a repair manual (yet)

Yes that's what I was referencing...I could not make out where exactly it was located on the car from that diagram.

 

I would imagine it is in a similar location to the 456M ???

It's the module above the green Window Control Module

 

What is your car's vehicle assembly number?

The earlier cars have a completely different module.

No upgrades possible on these, I believe.

 

If you haven't already found it, it seems to be behind the relay panel....

See this video at the 8 minute mark...

Lots of other goodies behind there, too. I wonder what the other fuses are relays are for.

 

Installed the MSW Steering ECU today. Much better steering feel and weight.
