Has anybody used these guys? DSG paddle shift Steering Wheels for VW Transporter T6 – Professional VW Conversions
£245+vat for a flat bottom wheel, paddles, custom leather and stitching. Seems like a bargain to me?

Today I finally got round to joining the halls of flappy paddle fame, and want to pay homage to this thread, and especially the part @RattyMcClelland wrote some time ago about removing and swapping out the buttons, because this is a heart in mouth job!
It took a couple of hours of messing about to fix everything. and the wheel I swapped it for wasn't the same as my Highline one, so a few fiddly bits to change over. Then pretty much every warning light on the dash illuminated once I started the van after fitting, but thankfully my trusty little Carista re-set all these, and the jobs a good'n.
The main reason for this mod is my T6 goes over to DMS next month for a re-map and DSG tweak, hopefully taking the 204 beast up to around 250bhp and a nice power increase from 333lb.ft up to 392lb.ft (all DMS quoted figures)
Yeah, flappy paddles are a bit of a fad, and I rarely used them on my Golf, but the actual wheel is smaller, flat bottomed to fit my fluctuating belly, and a lot more comfortable to hold, plus I did it because I can.. One productive and very satisfying morning.
Oh and thanks @Fish for being on the end of WhatsApp...

You know all I would want on one is the volume buttons for the radio and phone, don't want cruse and it's manual anyway
Sorry to drag up an old thread. What wheel is this one. I’m looking at something the sameHere's a little pic of mine fitted up, Really is a 10 minute straight swap job if you can get your hands on the correct wheel

This one will fit a t6 euro 6, and re use the standard airbag of my high line wheel?
Looks like Mk7 golf Gti wheel, although has R line infills. I believe @Absolut5 can supply them.
Cheers mate
Euro 6. On wheel
Not sure. Mine doesn’t have the mode button on. However you can change your old buttons onto the new wheel.
It should have cancel button ,I don't think the mode button will work .
Me (I saw your post above but can’t comment as I haven’t changed my wheel)
