Title: Steering Wheel Control Module
Post by: AlexR1823 on October 30, 2015, 04:00:27 pm: Sorry if this is a stupid question but just want to make sure that I buy the correct part!

I'm looking to retrofit cruise control and MFSW but need to buy a new control module, I currently have 1K0-953-549-CA which is midline and would not work with the steering wheel, I found 1K0-953-549-CH on eBay but it says it is for Mk6 Golfs, would this work in my Mk5 or not?

Thanks in advance!

Only prob I found is this particular part number is not for sale second hand, I phoned VW and they replaced the part with a BK i Believe on the end however this one for some reason is £242!!(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-VW-SEAT-Skoda-Highline-Steering-Control-Module-Cruise-MFSW-1K0953549BK-/371310081361?fits=Car+Make%3AVW&hash=item5673ce3551:m:m0DY1DJWK__3CmxpgNCr1Uw)

I have a 2009 Golf mk5 and I read somewhere that the software is updated and if I had an older module then only some of the buttons would work?

I have looked a lot and cant seem to find a definitive answer. Any help also appreciated!

Post by: AlexR1823 on November 04, 2015, 03:16:39 pm: I found this which seems like a decent price to me:

Only problem is the airbag wiring loom part number is 5K0971584C which is for a mk6 I believe? Is this loom any different to 1K0971584C?

Same. Part number is the same, 1k0/5k0 only chassis number.
