As per title.

Looking at getting a Pirelli DSG but it doesn't have a MFSW.

If it's a DSG all you need is a MFSW for DSG  :happy2:

Over the top mod list ;o)

Gene, did this on my DSG. Buttons from the dealer, and Darren (Morty) did the fit in 10 minutes. Didn't even need coding!

You'd likely need a new slip ring/steering wheel controller, or youll have nowhere to plug the buttons in to


VCDS Scanning/Coding, RNS and MDI retrofits, and specialist mechanics services with VAGtek available - Just PM me for details.

Ah, yes. Controller & slip ring. It's a pain in the a*** on a manual, I believe. Sorry
