No. You can swap the knobs and that's about it.

Someone on here (I think) did say you can upgrade to the mk6 unit with some solenoids but that went over my head.

This is what I did

I'm waiting to fit some too. Tried to pull of the old dials with some pliers are a bit of padding...no chance (and still managed to scratch them in the process) :stupid:
