Cool, will start to get everything together and find someone local to me to code them up (in St. Helens/Warrington)
How hard can it be?

Just wandering if the steering wheel controllers will need coding to each car or are they interchangeable?

They are coded depending on your spec, not VIN.
Unless you happen to buy a used one from a car with exactly your spec, it'll need recoded

That's good to know  :happy2:

Is the best way to see what is on them to fit them or can you scan them to see?

Sorry for the mither, can't find anything with the search function on here!

Not sure what you mean  - do you have VCDS access?

Just to see what is coded on the steering wheel controller. I don't, I'm on the lookout for someone in the north west area.

Don't worry too much about researching the old car, once you find someone local with VCDS they can code it to yours.

Cool, probably all daft questions, but I can't seem Torino answers for them lol.
Think the only thing I haven't got is the slip ring, just hope mine is fine!

Thanks for your help, :happy2:

Am I ok to remove my current clocks and plug my new ones in just to see if they work, then refit my current ones.

Want to make sure it all works before the day comes when I put it in and find out its dead!

Right, day come to do the wheel, and I've hit a problem.

The mfsw harness I got is too short between the 2 connections on the back of the airbag (looks like this is between the horn) tried to modify with a new wire but then noticed all the connections are different!

Part number I had is 5K0 971 584C, is this the right one or have I ordered the wrong one, is so what is the correct one?

Also I have slipring part number 1K0 971 653C. Will this work, or will it need changing?

:(
to top it off, swapped controllers over and nothing  on the wheel worked, power steering light was on so swapped back and light is still on! Even took it for a drive and it's still there.

Coming close to giving up on this now, really frustrated with it!

Looking through eBay they all seem to say mk6 golf, can't see any for a mk5!
