So after few months of thinking and not wanting to buy a new steering wheel i decided to try something that everyone was saying can't be done. I have purchased a standard mk5 mfsw and took it apart. Unscrewed the buttons and took my steering wheel apart after comparing the wheels for a good while i decided to get to work.
After i did the first side i though its not as hard as i thought but at same time this was time of no return so i really hoped it will go well. So i carried on with the other side used just a stanley blade took about 15 minutes of carefully cutting away all the foam.
So once both were fitted i needed to cut a bit out at the bottom to get the module in which again took a few minutes but then i also needed a flat head screwdriver to dig some of the foam out, sounds horrible but as long as you are careful its all good.
once all been cut out and fit the airbag back into place.
Had it all coded today by
@kalu really nice guy took him a short while all works perfectly
finished product done all the work myself apart from coding
Total cost:
MK5 standard mfsw £40 once taken buttons off sold it on for £10 so Actually only £30
CH module from China £40
Airbag loom £15
Slipring £10
Stalk from China £20
HighLine clocks from USA £120
Total cost: £235 plus coding on top
I know its not greatest write ups but can save you some money like it saved me some money.
obviously i will be selling my midline cluster old module and the rest and hopefully i will be able to get some money back for them bits. So total cost be even lower.
Last thing is i have a kenwood double din and i have fitted auto leads stalk adaptor and i can't get it to work with the kenwood ??? anyone know maybe why? followed all the steps on instruction and no joy. Everything else works perfect with the highland all the buttons light up and work through the menu???
