I have an 06 gti and retrofitted CC. Stalk cost me £30 and eddie-nl had already setup the coding. Being fitted this week by Eddie so I will let you know. £100 +VAT is way over the odds!!!

He's been quoted by VW for a new part to be fitted in their workshops. You've got a stalk at less than cost price so probably used and are having it fitted as a favour.

Jamma, I would look around for someone local to code and give you the correct part number if your controller can handle it.
£50 is just under retail for a new part, so not worth buying used IMHO.The only slight issue with 2005 cars is the wire to the bulkhead from the steering controller, which if you think you'll need you should buy the retrofit kit rather than just a stalk. I still think £100 +VAT is a good price.
