Post by: pben47 on April 19, 2011, 11:39:07 pm: As per title.

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

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

Post by: LouCyffer on April 25, 2011, 11:31:59 am: Ah, yes. Controller & slip ring. It's a pain in the a*** on a manual, I believe. Sorry
