An update finally got an MFSW with paddles from fleabay but even better a MK6 version.

Scanned my car for SWCM finding that its one ending with BR which meant I had to buy one ending in CH.

My slip ring was the correct one so saved some £'s notes there,so all there was to do was fitting it.
I pulled the negative battery terminal off and proceeded to the SW cowling.
Since I had taken the steering wheel cowling of before to see wether the slip ring was compatibile it was pretty straight forward to do this process again.
Next came the airbag coming off and a M12 spline to unwind the SW, no problems there,swapped the SWCM over with the CH version plugged it in.Attatched the MK6 SW and plugged the connectors for airbag and buttons and replaced the airbag into the SW.
Reconnected the -ve terminal and proceeded with the coding of the SWCM,at first the volume buttons only worked but found out after a scan that the rns 510 wasn't coded properly.
Once thats done all the buttons that are meant to work all work including the paddles.
Went for a drive to try the paddles out and wow what a joy having
extra control on gear changing and the RNS 510,totally reccomend this mod.

I would like to thank the guys on here for the help,you know who you are!

 

I've no pics yet but they will follow shortly.

HHHHMMMMM !!!


I like MK6 wheel in MK5 !!!

Its nicer to hold than the standard GT wheel and the extras like the buttons and the fun factor from playing with the paddles....makes me feel like a 10 yr old in a toy shop at xmas again!

Mate it really does look better than the mk5 wheel

That steering wheel looks fantastic!

How do the paddals work, I guess you still need to knock the gear selector over to manual first?

[LouCyffer]

No you can override the auto selection if, for example you wish to overtake. Use the paddle to select your gear. Once done, you can hold the right paddle to switch back to Auto, or it will revert back after about 20seconds. Truly, the best of both worlds

Thanks mate 2nd best mod so far and yes it does the gear selection just as LouCyffer said.

H4rdy, my car is a 2008 GTI DSG, and the MF buttons went on plug & play, no coding required. MortyGTTDi did the business for me in no time at all.

Looks way cool, so ALL the buttons work?

Is your car a mk5 then or mk6?

Hhhhhmmm if thats a mk5 which it looks like, and ALL the buttons work, this is my next upgrade.

I have DSG with paddles already so should be straight forward.

Any specific coding required?

J

Its a MK5 ,the buttons that work are the volume +,-,left and right ,mute ,up and down on the midline .The other buttons that aren't working 'cos I don't have bluetooth and the full highline cluster.
Hope that would clarify things abit.
