Multifunction Steering wheel

jbconno · 17-11-2007, 20:46

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but what I really miss on my vRS is the steering wheel controls for the radio. Can the controls be fitted ? It looks like there is space on the wheel spokes for controls.

Thanks
John

Someone has retrofitted a 4 spoke Elegance wheel with the buttons but it doesn't appeal to most.

You can also fit a Golf Mk.5 GTI 3 spoke wheel with the controls but I think you need a new steering column control unit and obviously a new air bag. That's pretty expensive.

I don't think you can fit buttons to the vRS steering wheel or someone would have done it by now.

Sadly although the outline shape is on the vRS steering wheel it isn't removable.

I think the GTI conversion is the best way to go isn't it Stu? pretty pricey though IIRC and wrong coloured buttons.

Yes I've been keeping a weather eye on the GTi/GT steering wheels. One thing I need to confirm is the airbag, if the vRS airbag would fit the GTi/GT wheel it would be soo much cheaper.

Looks like I am going to have to live with it then. Bummer .
