Your best bet is to invest in a full Multi-Function steering wheel and not just the buttons. It is the easiest option. However, you will need to upgrade your steering wheel control module too.

I've gone with the steering wheel option myself and got @Eddie-NL  to fit and code. However, if you are in the London or Nottingham areas then @RetroRaz will also be able help.



Also, what HU do you have? And do you have the highline display in your car? Both will make the MFSW more useful.

If it's dsg you may only need the controls themselves

Thanks for the replys....

My car is manual and doesn't have a high line display either...
I'll keep an eye out for a cheap MFSW and swap the parts over like you have Kam88!

it's also worth searching for a mfsw from  i think a 2008/9 scirocco as they are the same as the mk5.
I bought one which cost me £100 inc the airbag

I doubt the steering wheels are the flat bottom gti ones from a Rocco and no way you get that for £100 unless the seller didn't know what he was selling.

In a 2008 you'll probably have the correct parts for just putting on the wheel,  I did in my R32 manual,  the airbag loom should come with the steering wheel
