It should be a straight swap on your year no wire swapping. Plug and play

Yes should be straight swap on early model mk5s they needed some wires changing round.
Your year should be fine.

Is there a definitive guide for what is needed to do this? there seems to be a lot of different part numbers for the actual controls and I have a late 05 model which means i'll probably need to change wiring?

And specifically reply #56. This is what I used when I did it in my '05 GTI and made it easy to follow and it all worked

Even later mk5s need wires changed. I have a MY2009 GT Sport and a MY2008 GTI Ed. 30, both with the mk6 climatronic panel fitted.  :wink:

Is there any benefit to this, or is it purely a cosmetic upgrade?

purely cosmetic i reckon. I'd like to do this as i think the blue is a little outdated now. But that's for another day :D

If you have an RCD 510 or RNS 510 the climate settings come up on the display as you alter the settings which is pretty worthless but cool!

Cheers guys  :happy2:

I actually like the red/blue lighting  :smiley:   I was in much older VWs for a long time though, so the MK5 is still modern for me  :grin:
