Steering wheel upgrade

[Stampie66]

Like the way you have done that detailing @Stampie66. Did you do it yourself or get a paint shop to do it?

Not me @DaveyB I know a man that can !

Cracking job though buddy, really smart. Where did you have it done? Did they do the stitching as well?

Just done the steering wheel swap, after reading all these posts over and over, brilliant source of information, I think the DSG box deserves to have the paddles, although you don’t need them all the time, it so much easier when you do, I’ve got the MFSW with ACC etc, got the wheel new from German Ebay site, swapped my airbag and switches into it, worked brilliantly, great mod,

I had my wheel re-trimmed to match my seats . Nappa leather and Alcantara . Had the work done at Control Custom Steering Wheel Excellent work and great to deal with

Lovely seats,I was trying to resist but it is futile

I'll be going to vision.

I bought the last one of those mugs in your cupholder at the dealers today

There is no point in trying to resist.......you only live once

Went and saw vision yesterday and they are doing my seats. Very helpful there

I went for something like this VW GOLF MK7 DSG COMPLETE steering wheel LENKRAD SET 6198400 | eBay

I reused my air bag and switches so there was no compatibility issues

 

[T6 dork]

thats the one i bought too Deaky and i did just the same

 

[Banj]

I'd love a GTi/gtd or r line one with the round air bag, have driven a gtd and the wheel was perfect.

Got an R Line DSG MFSW complete with airbag up for grabs if anyone interested

SFQ time: I have Eu5 with stalk cruise but no buttons on my steering wheel, can I fit a Gti wheel with buttons or is it a visit to the expensive sparky people?

P.s manual gearbox

Come on guys someone give me a clue please, I’ve read the full thread but still can’t find a definitive answer. As there are loads of Trendlines and Startlines I’m sure someone’s has tried before.

Is it possible to fit a multifunction steering wheel and get the buttons working instead of the current no button plastic wheel?

Pretty please with cherries on top

I imagine the info you need will be very similar as doing a MFSW retrofit to a T5.1.

They usually require (apart from a suitable MFSW with loom) a couple of wires fitting from the vehicle side of the steering wheel (clock spring / stalk wiring) to the BCM and a +ve supply, then some VCDS coding changes to enable it all.
