MFSW wheel insterts - How much?

[mclovin]

I have a DSG gearbox, so I thought adding some multifunction goodness to my steering wheel would be fairly straightforward and to be honest, it is. I am doing lots of interior upgrades at the moment and I managed to pick up the left hand wheel insert thingamie on eBay the other week for a decent price. However, I haven't seen a right hand one anywhere so I popped into my local dealer today and asked for a quote only to find out that they want £90.93 for it... Yikes!

Remember, this is just the wheel insert with the buttons and only the right hand one at that... £90? That's outrageous. So, the question is, is there anywhere else I can get this part (part number 1K0959538EREH) and if so can I get it at a more realistic price?

Try PM'in Deako, he helped me out with this, have a look on ebay.de, they have the set and loom on there for around £40

Deako is your man though!

www.ebay.de is the place to find these things, I just found exactly the item I wanted for 20 Euros, bargain!

I also spotted a complete set for sale (both inserts and the control module) as well for 65 Euros:

Do these just fit to the standard wheel? Is anything else needed apart from some coding?

[edd666999]

if you have dsg you dont need the control box...as far as i know

[mortygttdi]

You carn't fit them to a standard wheel though cos there is no cutouts for the wiring,  the DSG already has the controller and the cutouts so its easy to put the buttons in,

Thought it sounded too easy! Wouldnt be possible to "make" cut outs for the wires!?

[edd666999]

once i plug em in, do i need to code them too?

[mortygttdi]

needs coding in the steering wheel module 16 on vcds just to tell the steering controller the buttons are there.

Just an observation but isn't the UK MFSW with different buttons to those that mclovin just pointed out?

I got mine from this seller - mine are the MFD/OK button version though so he/she obviously can get either. Great seller as well, they only took three days to arrive and were really well packed.

Ended up buying a full set from Germany after I was pipped at the post by someone else on Ebay who was bidding on the same left-hand set I was, back at the end of October.......

The buttons that Mclovin just pointed out are the early type 2 phone buttons, the new type only have 1 phone button and a mute button a star.
