Not sure on the steering wheel - would think no for that.

The heater control will depending on your year of manufacture to do some basic settings.

However, it would be best practice to scan your vehicle before and after any retro fit work,to check and clear DTCs and check all works as it should! :happy2:

Like I said the heater panel can be a pain if yours has the Econ/Ac button rather than Auto/Ac button for for climatic system!

Doyle is slightly incorrect but basically right. Early VW Golfs had an Econ button than an AC button. The idea was the AC was always on unless you hit the ECONomy button, when it would turn off. Later changed to a simple AC button so you know when it's on and off.

Hence it will say ECON/AUTO or AC/AUTO.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Odd. I have seen pics of climate controls with no DUAL marking where the button normally is.
