^^I much prefer it to the standard MK5 wheel, the interior is quite boring without it IMO.

Andy did you get your stereo/bluetooth sorted out??
not as yet..waiting on Darren(Mortygtdi) to fit it for me when he has chance..The mk6 s/w makes a lot of difference :smiley:

This controller you speak of, does it not come with the wheel then? How much are they?

No it doesnt come with the wheel. You already have a steering controller in your car, but its unlikely it will suitable (def not for the MK6 wheel).

It makes the stalks/horn/cruise/buttons work depending on what you have installed, and comes in lowline,midline and highline variations.

Your looking at around £130 from the dealers but they can be had on ebay for less.

The one for the MK6 wheel is hard to get secondhand so the dealer is the best bet, although they do pop up on ebay slightly cheaper.

For the MK6 wheel you'll need 1K0 953 549 CH

The best one for the MK5 MFSW is 1K0 953 549 BK although there are many others.

For MK5 wheel you'll need a highline module SW0101 or SW0070 so there are a few to chose from  :happy2:

For both wheels you'll also need a type 2 slip ring but if you have a GTI with midline or highline display you'll have that already.

the audi wheels will bolt staright on but the air bag won't connect so you will through an airbag light on the audi bags are twin detonators (or at least they have 2 plugs not 1 like the golf) I wasn't prepared to mess around with hardwirierng the bag in in case i got it wrong in the process  :rolleye: :rolleye: plus i needed the extra cables for other things  :signLOL: :signLOL:
