Post by: sanj on June 17, 2012, 12:28:45 am: Haha!I think the seller went a little over the top with the wording as DSG paddle shift wheel would have been enough,I do know that there is a 'R' Mk6 steering wheel on ebay and that start's the bidding at £430! :surprised:

Post by: Yawn on June 17, 2012, 09:40:22 am: Looks very nice that.

But I read somewhere that with MK6's having a 2 stage air bag ( whatever that means) and MK5's having a 1 stage that there was a compatability issue meaning the bag would not deploy in an accident.

Anyone know if thats the case?

Post by: big al on June 19, 2012, 09:51:25 pm: Bargain.
Price of these has flown up over the last few months.
You may need the MK6 control module to get it all to work though

Thank's for the advice mate,my VW man has said he'll get it all working and it won't be a problem,my Edition30 wheel is a MFSW one as well which make's it a little easier,also the seller did provide the correct airbag loom as well! :smiley:

Post by: jedi-knight83 on June 19, 2012, 10:46:18 pm: very jealous!

99% sure you will need the latest control module in order for the buttons to work correctly on the steering wheel.

Post by: Eddie-NL on June 19, 2012, 10:50:20 pm: You will need a CH controller to get it to work.
standard mk5 MFSW controller won't work

If you need one send me a pm

Yeah Dave i'll need a new cruise control stalk,seen a few knocking about on ebay for around £40,so glad I managed to grab this as it was put on ebay quite late and I made an offer of £280 which he refused and came back with £300 buy it now which was a £50 saving and I snapped it up! :grin:Can't wait to get it fitted now as it'll work well with the RNS510 too.
