If you are driving forward you are in Drive.
Backward in R and parked in P.
It looks better though. That’s the only reason why I would upgrade it.

Hi Pauly,
Yes I might be interested thanks, have you got a picture and an idea of how much you want?

If Mat doesn't want it i'll have it, PM me the cost and details and i'll send you the money.

Did you ever manage to sort the how to video?
Did you even upload the video? I'm just asking before I attempt it.
No, sorry gents. Its on my SD card, I haven't edited and uploaded it yet. I've been so busy with work/life that I completely forgot, if I'm honest. I can give you lot an update on the one I got though. I bought the Chinese one which broke off when i took it for a trip in south of Europe at end of May. The heat made the bit you press fragile and it basically cracked and came off. I messaged the seller and he sent me a new one which i put on but even that one got fragile and broke off in the heat we recently had. They're made of the same cheap, plastic stuff that those rubbish phone holders are made off that frequently break with a bit of heat and movement.
I think Paul mentioned getting the OEM Tiguan one. If he has put the part number on here, I'll order that tonight and get it fitted/recorded when it arrives. I will upload the other one and post here for those of you that still want to proceed with the ones you have.
Update:
I ordered a genuine T-Roc dsg lever off ebay from 22 plate written off car. It arrived today. from memory, the connection looked similar on the pic. I'll replace it this weekend. Hopefully all will go smoothly and I'll upload video too.

mine don/t switch however when in manual mode it moves to light the +/-
Just fitted a genuine polo gti one to my 6.1 a bit fiddly but nice easy mod.i couldn’t find anywhere selling the wiring loom so ordered the Chinese knob that you can get on Ali express for £13 just for the loom .you don’t actually need it but with it ,the old selector lights and new ones on the new knob both work, without it you can only have one or the other. Obviously could have just used the Chinese knob as well but for £13 it’s going to be made of toffee
I've had my chineseium one fitted for about 8 months and it's still going strong! Haha Might just order another as a spare just incase this one falls apart!
@Pauly did you ever sell this?
Thanks @Pauly, I would be interested in this if it is still available!
So, I’ve had a nightmare. When I slowly heated and twisted the plastic section I tried to put the replacement DSG stick on and it wouldn’t slot on properly where by the rear section would allow the gearstick to move. After a couple of attempts I ended up snapping the plastic
I’ve grafted on the replacement that came with the gear stick via drilling a hole into the plastic centre and using a nail with glue and very small resistor metal on the outside for additional support. This has held well though after several weeks of driving in ‘anti theft mode’ I plucked up the courage to try the new tweak.
Annoyingly the stick still wouldn’t sit right and bent the very top of the plastic (I was being very careful too).
I presume I will need a second hand T6.1 DSG gear selector as I can’t imagine there is a repair kit for this plastic section.
Any suggestions welcomed
