Multi-function steering wheel installation to VW Golf 6

Step by step tutorial how to change VW Golf MK6 steering wheel to R-line MF steering wheel. Also this video shows how to change wiper switch stalker, remove slip-ring and change steering wheel control module.

[@raulbudi2089]

Just a note for anyone doing this, the bolt holding the steering wheel is made to last 5 uses, so you removing it and installing it back again counts as two. Just to keep in mind.

@@static1890 bro my golf mk6 highline has a multi function steering wheel with the shifters but the right side of the steering wheel (right shifter+right buttons) does not turn on and doesn't work at all. While the left side is working perfect(left shifter+left buttons). Do you have any idea if I have to change the module ( the chip under the steering wheel) or I have to change the right buttons? I just don't know where are the shifter gets connected, is it the same cable with the function buttons? Or is it connected to the module?

[@lutz6441]

Yes, you should change the sw control module to highline version one, also therefore you should change slip ring. Stalker needs to replace, when you have stalker with menu butttons - you have to change stalker to non-buttons one as they go to conflict when you have buttons in both steering wheel and stalker.

Great video, did the display already have a menu? because im thinking about doing this but i dont have a menu on the display now, does the new swcm contain the menu software? and do all the functions work.

[@lutz6441]

Yes, my car had before wiper stalker switch with buttons to move in menu. If your car has same set, then most likely you have menu option. I had to change my previous wiper stalker switch to non-button wiper stalker, as there can be conflict between MFSW buttons and wiper stalker buttons. In my understanding there are differences between instrument clusters, so if you don't have menu, then you should start to look proper instrument cluster.

[@daviddaniel7682]

@Lutz Super detailed video. thanks! in regards to @Leonardo's questions. Where you able to access your menu with the old wiper stalker? because i have same like yours, either i don't know how to access the menu or there is no menu function or is it only MFSW that can access menu?

Correct, firstly you have to change SWCM, which is compatible for buttons on steering wheel. Then you have to change wiper stalker with non-button option, as with button one it can go to conflict with SW buttons. Finally you have to swap SW wire harness to get SW buttons to work.

Can you retrofit multifunction steering wheel with MFD (multifunction display) and not MFD+ (when you open door MFD+ will show you image of the car along with which door is open. MFD only shows indicator on the dash board)? If not I can imagine it can make it more difficult and expensive as probably whole dashboard has to be swapped (perhaps more coding/new contract unit?)

Yes, it can be so and then you will need to swap gauge cluster to MFD+ one.

Very true. I checked mine yesterday and the location is exactly as stated here. Luckily for me; my SWCM is the updated one with part number: 5K0953549B , so I don’t need to change it when I do the Steering swap. Edit: It turns out I only needed a faceplate with buttons and no coding was needed!

@@MX007100 i have a 2012 mk6 golf, will i need a new SWCM or will it already have it?

@@imadmiah9953 Hello. You don’t need one I because yours is even a 2012 model and mine is a 2011 but it came with one already. You can do a check by removing the top plastic cover on your steering wheel column, just use a plastic tool or flat and lift up and you’ll see the switch with part number!
