Right my Edition30 has midline dash, and non mfsw.
While browsing ebay i come across these...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-OEM-MULTI-FUNCTION-STEERING-WHEEL-BUTTONS-SWITCHES-1K0959537J-1K0959538F-/261236894532?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cd2eeab44
says there genuine vw but location is suspect, has anyone tried them?
My car is DSG so i should be able to just fit these? i believe im correct?
Cheers

Says they only for a mfsw so guessing they are replacements rather than parts to upgrade a steering wheel.
Sorry to piss on your chips.
-
If you have the module already on your steering wheel, these should be plug and play. Replacement and upgrade if you have dsg is the same
-
Not clear what you mean? I have a GT with dsg and couldn't get buttons added, had to be the whole mfsw wheel.....or have I been had? If so let me know, I will buy some of those buttons and flog the old wheel as a mfsw, which I guess it the would be.
-
A DSG wheel has the cavity to take buttons, a non MFSW doesn't have the space to take buttons as a retrofit.
-
So i have a dsg wheel, what module do i need to have? can i check this with VCDS?
And if so can i just buy them buttons and fit?

You've been had i reckon. You unscrew the blanks, put the buttons in place and plug them in

Most mf buttons come with a little module which fits in the centre of the wheel, under the airbag. I dont know if a dsg wheel has this module already sat there waiting for the buttons to be plugged in. I have a manual so needed a new wheel etc

Step-7. That module, on the left

Check ebay items 141026311833 and 321174942953 for MFSW buttons (not mine)
-
anyone know whether this 1P0959537F part number will fit a golf mk5 3 spoke wheel, with the blanks for buttons?

1P is a Leon mk2 so I doubt it is plug and play
-

Hmm, I didn't have paddles or highline, nothing in the wheel so perhaps not. Seems now to have been an expensive way to do it, didn't know all you need for a mfsw was a module and buttons...pfffff dammit!
Edit, ah just saw the post about the cavity. That explains it, I never had paddles either.
-
I still dont get this!?
What steering wheels/ cars have capability to just plug and play the button inserts and module?
Do they all have the required wiring upto the steering wheel?
I have a 2005 Gti, Midline, Manual!?
-
Dag car with paddles only i think. If you have a dsg with no paddles the steering wheel would technically be a "manual" wheel.
A manual car has solid pieces of plastic which dont unscrew. If you want a mfsw, you will need a new steering wheel and a steering wheel controller (which sits under the cowling on the steering collumn)
