Golf MFSW compatibility

[Dm85]

I did it on mine although I don’t have ACC. The DSG paddles and CC work perfectly.

Did the MFSW buttons all transfer over ok? The volume buttons look different but the main cluster looks the same?

Worked on mine with a small change to one of the wires .

Ok great, I have golf mfsw buttons now. I’ll just swap the airbag cover over to t6 squib. All the buttons looks the same layout apart from I don’t have adaptive CC. What wire did you have to modify?

 

[Texxaco]

As far as I can recall it was the twisted blue and white wire, a connector pin needed to be changed but I can’t recall what it was.

Depends on what part number you have if they'll work or not

 

[Dm85]

Yes T6 bag will fit that one
The two hooks are the part that retains the airbag

Hi Pauly,

Will the t6 air bag fit the mk 7 golf wheel? I mean if I took the t6 air bag cover off and swapped it for the MK7 round cover?

Also if the button layout is the same will the buttons work or need coding? I have none active cruise control so I have found the mk 7 ones with the same layout as my t6.

Thanks

Hi,

So you can just swap the air bag cover to a golf one and reuse the existing t6 squib to go into the mk7 golf wheel?

The airbags are completely different its not just a cover

Only buttons from a compatible vehicle will work so depending on what vehicle they are from and what model you are putting it on will be the factors that answer that, button layout is only part of it as different models talk different languages so not all interchangeable !

Hi, so your buttons worked straight away no coding as they are the same layout?

Ah ok, thanks for that info. There’s a company that do the buttons for my model T6 that work straight out the box but they want £350 for them ‍

Yep same layout, worked with no issues at all and no rewiring either.

That’s good to know! We’re they straight out of a golf? There’s a company that want £350 for the buttons that they advertise as working with a t6. Or Ali express for £150 lol which is probably where they get them from

 

[Dav-Tec]

@Texxaco your buttons aren't golf buttons mate

There's no buttons from a mk7 Golf which will go straight in to a T6, you need to transfer your old buttons to the new wheel or source some which are EXACTLY the same as you'd find in a T6.

This is the layout you need, the only difference could be the ACC distance button in the centre of the CC cluster, if your vehicle is so equipped, however if you've got ACC you've already got everything you need button wise.

Yes that’s what I mean. Would the same button layout as from my t6 but from a mk7 work?

This is the button layout I need in terms of cruise control, none acc. But the mk7 button form is what I need. So if I buy the buttons that fit the mk 7 steering wheel with this layout it should work hopefully

You'll need the buttons from a polo. Which iirc are 6C0 959 442 possibly with an A at the end button cannot remember the variant off the top of my head.

@Texxaco has 5G0 959 442 Q from a golf but never tried these buttons and don't know if they have been modified previously by changing the chip or if the buttons just work

That’s good to know. Were the buttons from a golf or polo? As apparently people are saying the polo GTII MFSW buttons are the correct ones to get?

Depends on age but f car and also depends on age of Transporter, later T6 around 18/19 are compatible with MQB buttons but earlier ones are not, there’s an option for it in coding if it’s available,
Prob matches up with the date they upgraded the BCM to C or D software ?
