UPDATE :
I just finished with the retrofit..
It's quite easy DIY to do it..
1 1/2 hours were enough to do the whole swap of the module and the SW..
I did a thing different from the (the.ronin's) DIY : I removed the small tiny screw and I opened the lower cover of the module
Then i removed the circuit carefuly
Then with a flat head screwdriver unclipped the upper cover from the column..(it has two clips and when you press 'em it releases it)
Then the new module fits on column complete with its covers..
Then i 've put the tiny screw back..
The button's and the horn work normally but cruise control and power steering not...
This is because i 've no VAGCOM and i am waiting till tonight for a friend to come who has VAGCOM to align the Steering Angle Sensor so i can get Power Steering and Cruise control back..
Special thanks to maloosheck,the.ronin and Norbreck21a from uk-mkivs.net
Time to write my experience with the retrofit...
My car came with the full MFD, cruise control, and No multifunction Steering Wheel..
My stock steering column control module is : 1K0-953-549-AP
My stock slipring is :1K0-959-653-C
My stock airbag unit is : 1K0-990-201-CA
I bought airbag harness : 1K0-971-584-C
As near my area there's nobody with VAGCOM i took the car to the Dealer as they said they can do the swap. :frown:
Today they called and they said that my airbag unit wont let the steering column control module to be coded to work with the new steering wheel !! And i need to buy a new airbag p/n 1K0-880-201Q that is compatible with MFSW.. :eyebulge:
WTF are they talking about ??!!
UPDATE : Vagcom showed that i had 1K0-953-549-AP instead of 1K0-953-549-AK that dealer said.. That's the reason why was not taking the coding.. DAMN STEALERSHIPS...
