@Ryzza, were you not able to change gears manually on the original wheel? I suppose this means the paddles will work with the DSG? Nice looking wheel :)

Only the GTI, GTD, and R come with DSG paddles in Australia. Hence why I had to buy this wheel from the UK. I could change manually using the gear stick selector though.

So you can get the paddles to work? I love the "hot Golf" wheel style, but the radio/cruise buttons and airbags alone are going to make it one helluva project. :eek: Good luck, and keep us informed. :)

Yeah, easily done. Just undo two clips behind the wheel so that the airbag/horn pops out, then use a wrench to get the wheel off, then pop the new wheel and its airbag on.

Get the laptop out, connect it to the car, change a value (to tell it we have paddles now), and job done. :)

 

Push this metal clip down (plus one on the other side of the wheel) to release the airbag

Just like the Golf R steering wheel, minus the R badge at the bottom (I didn't want a GTI or R badge since I don't have that model)
