Can MFSWwork with aftermarket Stereos?

[big al]

I have an aftermarket Kenwood stereo, and have recently been thinking about getting a MFSW as my normal one has worn leather all over the place (ans isnt Multifunction!)
Would this work, or is it too much hassle?
Thanks

I am pretty sort there are some convertors available for this, but expect these won't be cheap as the Golf uses Can Bus.

Taken from Kenwood's website: -

Golf V/Jetta/EOS
Without 'Star' button    2005    ---->    Part No. = CAW-VW1281

Golf V/Jetta/EOS
With 'Star' button
including bluetooth operation    2007    ---->  Part No. = CAW-VW1530

Look like there are around 80 Euro's from a quick search.

Thanks dude,
Think I will throw a bid in, can just use it as a normal steering wheel and then get the MF fitted when got the other parts fitted,
You guys really know how to help out!

Yes, this can be added to the headunit after install once you have the MultiFunction wheel

Just realised that the wheel I was bidding on is from a GT, Does anyone know how that is different to the GTI wheel, apart from the GT/GTI badge?

Oh yeah, not too keen on it now, also looks like the actual wheel part doesnt have the bulges in like the GTI one.
