Thank you, I appreciate it

Wait so I can switch the old design steering wheel from my golf 5 plus 2006 with this new model without any real issues?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yes you can do that, the only thing you'll need to do is re-wiring the horn but anything other than that is not going to be a problem. However, if you are upgrading from a non MFSW to a MFSW you'll need a SWCM

@@Zejakovhey man i got the same car as yours and wanted to do the same. So did u upgrade the steering wheel and how does it fit?

[@MegatronicsZA]

@zinii698 the steering wheel was perfect, but unfortunately I got in an accident.

[@jamisson81]

Nice man i get a golf 6 no mfsw en i deed the same but the horn en mfsw buttens do not work i put a nieuw swm but i get stak

[@MegatronicsZA]

You need to re-wire the horn wires and program the car to recognize the new MFSW Control module

[@kulanimangwani3108]

You should consider investing in a 2nd hand torque wrench for future diy projects but nonetheless great job. 🛠️

Great video , i trying to upgrade mine same car , its just idk if it’ll work with the dashboard, do you need to code anything?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Thanks man. If you don't want to have multifunction steering wheel buttons then yeah, it will work.

[@Renford1203]

Enjoying your video, I want to upgrade my mk5 GT , which steering wheels options do you recommend??

[@MegatronicsZA]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. On which steering wheel would I recommend? I'd say the new Golf 8 GTI wheel would look good, but it depends on your finances and your preferences

[@ldn_evens2881]

I have a polo 4 9N3 I want to put the steering wheel of the polo 6 r line but I don't know where to buy it or install it, is it compatible even to be sure?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yes all steering wheels from Mk4 to Mk8 will fit. You might only need to re-wire a few wires but it will fit on. Buy at breakers, they are affordable there. You can get a new one at Amazon, E-bay or AliExpress

[@ryanrenda5101]

I have a 2007 Jetta Wolfsburg edition I want to upgrade the steering wheel I also want to have a wheel with steering wheel controls what wheel should I get for it?

[@MegatronicsZA]

It depends on what wheel looks good for you and one which is within your budget. The Golf 7 R and Golf 7 standard flat bottom looks good too, those are the ones I love. You can also fit a VW polo steering wheel too

[@DarkAL1912]

i put golf 5 steering wheel in my vw caddy is not working butons and horn wheel is so strong go right or left put both hands to move steering wheel and in dashbord see wheel problem why fix it

[@MegatronicsZA]

The buttons won't work if your Caddy never had a MFSW before. For buttons to work you need a steering wheel control modules that supports multifunction. Upgrading a steering wheel shouldn't affect how your steering wheel works. If you are turning it with the car off it'll be hard but with the car on there shouldn't be a problem.

[@JustinmaddenLFC21]

Will do buttons in the steering wheel for the radio work does anyone know

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yes everything works, I just didn't have money to buy a SWCM but I will make another video. I'll make everything work

[@lukakorosevic2009]

Do you think that is possible to put a multifunction steering wheel on my clio 2 year 1999?🫣

[@MegatronicsZA]

Could be possible but I'm not sure how

[@banunu6e]

I wanna do this to my honda okd steering wheel with no controls but want a newer steering wheel of a bmw or something and i dont care about the controls on the new wheel is that doable?

[@MegatronicsZA]

When it's different car makes I think it'll be a bit challenging but yes it is doable. Just find out the diameter of the steering wheel you want to upgrade to and see if it will fit your car with no clearance issues. But yeah it is doable

I have upgrade my old steering wheel of my old VW T5 Caravelle to a very similar steering wheel like yours (take from a VW Caddy 2017, no multifuction) I have the same problem, horn no works and airbag lights on at dashboard; would i contact to you for help me please? I dont know exactly what i have to do. Thanks for this video

[@MegatronicsZA]

After upgrading you'll need to rewire the new steering wheel to the configuration of your old steering wheel. Yeah you can contact me. Hit me up on one of the social media platforms I've listed on the profile.

[@deckscontrol]

@@MegatronicsZA hi! I send pm on your instagram profile, regards

[@thevoiceoftherain641]

Is there a reason why you didn't just lock steering wheel so it doesn't spin?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yes, so that I can be able to turn it left and right. Please kindly subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already

[@gabtan632]

hi mate i was wondering if this can fit into a vw scirocco? the twin charged version. Is it possible to plug play?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Hi man. Yes it will fit 💯, about plug and play I can't be certain. The wiring is a bit different but I'm sure this way that I've shown how to wire the steering wheel will work for the Scirocco as well, knowing that the scirocco is based on the same platform as the Mk5s.

[@Renford1203]

Great job man, what country are you from?

[@MegatronicsZA]

South Africa 🇿🇦, thanks man

[@bunster4322]

I see you are using a Sony 1 din radio, I was thinking doing the same because i Like how There's a Spot for things to put there, My question is, How is it, Do you like it or are you planing to swap it for something else?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yes I have the Sony A416BT and I'm so happy with it. I had an accident with the car I did this steering wheel swap on, I got another one and I tried a VW Harman MIB Radio and it was great but it only played 2 front speakers only so I got another Sony A416BT radio for the new used car I bought again, so I really love the radio and for sure the space underneath there is also another thing I prefer having. I really doubt I'm gonna swap it for anything else.

[@MegatronicsZA]

Also, thank you for subscribing to the channel. I really appreciate it man

[@bunster4322]

@@MegatronicsZA one more thing now that someone actually replied, i know it's stupid, but the controls on the steering wheel work with the radio? I have a passat b6 with multifional steering wheel, and I'm wondering if it needs a special modification. Or can you change the track and volume?

[@MegatronicsZA]

@bunster4322 no, mine don't work because I had to upgrade the SWCM to the one that enables the steering wheel buttons to work but I didn't because it's expensive. But some say it does work with the steering wheel, you just have to set the radio to the corresponding buttons.

[@MegatronicsZA]

@bunster4322 there's no stupid question man! None.

[@joecole354]

Did you get the lights to light up on the steering

[@MegatronicsZA]

No, reason for that is that I didn't install a MFSW Control Module as it was expensive. However I'll be making another video where everything works, stay tuned.

[@MegatronicsZA]

I got it from the breakers yard. They have different spares. I couldn't buy from eBay since I'm in South Africa and it would take months to arrive

[@derciobadru4091]

Buying in South Africa instead of eBay or Aliexpress is also easier for me. Do you have any contact you can provide?

[@tayyipozdemir3937]

Hello, I installed a Golf 7 steering wheel on my Golf 5 like you, but the horn does not work, as I understand from your video, there is an operation from the key socket, I would be very happy if you could help.

[@MegatronicsZA]

Hi, you need to take the connect the two cables from the new steering wheel on the same slot where the Original Mk5 wires for the horn are from. Then on the new steering wheel, make sure that the brown (-) wire is connected to the steering wheel and the blue/white wire must be depinned/or merge another wire which will be power (+) for the horn, and this wire must go from the ring around the airbag onto the slot which provides power to the horn.

[@ermeringa6143]

where did you bought that ? I want it for the golf 5 1k1 2006

[@MegatronicsZA]

I bought it from the guys stripping accident damaged cars for parts. They're in many places. Pretoria, Johannesburg, Boksburg. Depends on where's the place closer to you.

[@MegatronicsZA]

Which year is the Caddy that you are planning on doing this to? It'll look great, I'd go for it

[@stermeisterOG]

Hey, I just got the same steering wheel. Wiring for horn also goes on the buttons connector, so I imagine that the will not work on mine either. I didn't understand which pins you connected the horn. Also which steering module did your car have?

[@MegatronicsZA]

The blue/white connector goes in the position of the original horn wiring. The black wire is the negative for the horn, the blue/white wire is the positive. The module I had was the low line, which didn't support multifunction steering wheel control.

[@ΔημήτρηςΑραβανής]

which one of control unit's will you use for this steering wheel?

[@MegatronicsZA]

There are various steering wheel control modules that I can use to go on with this steering wheel. The most important thing is that the control module must be compatible with the car. So I'm leaning at any control module with the part number of 1K0 953 549 CD, 1K0 953 549 CE, 1K0 953 549 CF or 1K0 953 549 CH. Those are the highline control modules and will work with a Golf/Jetta Mk5, but for tried and tested modules use the CD/CH.
