fitting a genuine RS4 or TTS steering wheel
« on: January 11, 2011, 12:25:48 pm »
I need some help, i am thinking of fitting a genuine RS4 or TTS steering wheel since I got my Golf MK5 GTI ED30 and was wondering if anyone i could give me advice with info on fitting it also cheapest place to find one?

any general help would be appreciated, I want to know if it'll be a straight swap or what kind of stuff needs done if not. :notworthy: :happy2:

I've seen them on a mk5 before and believe its a straight swop..

Its a straight swap as far as fitting the wheel is concerned.

If you want the buttons to work its a little bit more involved.

In that case then can you put an r8 wheel on?  How does dsg effect it?

If you put a DSG R8 wheel on a manual Golf it wouldnt matter at all. The paddles just do nothing.

I think this might get added to my long list of wanted mods. It's the closest I'm going to get to an r8 anyway!  :signLOL:

How about a mk6/Rocco MFSW like mine, IMO just gives the interior a lift  :happy2: (and the buttons work)

Same wheel just the R wheel has piano black (gloss) inserts instead of the silver/ali look  :happy2:

I paid about £200 with the airbag, was a while ago now though.

Do like that wheel, cheaper then a MK5 sometimes on the bay too yet it's newer haha!

Might have to get one if it's simple plug and play and MFSW controls work? But guessing it will need vag com? I have it and the cable just don't know how to use it haha!

No its not plug and play it needs to be coded.

You also need a new steering wheel controller to get the horn/buttons to function, which you'd also need if you were fitting a MK5 MFSW albeit different part numbers.

^^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??

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