How To: MFSW Retrofit - 2012 Octavia VRS Manual

Ok, thanks Brad.

Good evening!

Recently I bought a Skoda Octavia Combi 1Z FL (2011) 1.2 TSI (manual) with cruise control but without a MFSW... Plus I have an Amundsen+ in combination with a Parrot MKi-9200.

Today I received a set of MFSW controls (3T0 959 537 B and 3T0 959 538 D) and I hope to receive a Fabia RS steering wheel (with shifters which need to be removed). The controls are without the phone function because my Amundsen+ does not have this option.

Is the 5K0-953-549-B compatible with my setup and new MFSW?

Steering Wheel Control Module Versions - Ross-Tech Wiki

5K0-953-549-B

Will add pictures soon.

Thanks!

Hi I am about to do this upgrade on my yeti. I already have MFSW but it doesn't have paddles so I'm upgrading it to a wheel that does have paddleshift.

Does this mean the module I already have will suffice or will I need to upgrade this also?

Thanks

Resurrecting an *old* thread here!

I’m considering upgrading my Yeti to a DSG paddle steering wheel. Did you go ahead with yours? Any issues at all? I’m of the understanding that a Mk2 Superb or possibly Octavia Mk2 steering wheel will work.

Any experience here would be great. Thanks.

Bringing this thread back from the dead...

I just bought a MY11 Octavia VRS Manual and lack of MSFW is quite annoying compared to my old 2008 Jetta which has them.

So I am about to go down the path of gathering parts to convert to MFSW.

I was thinking of changing the stalks over as well to delete the buttons the MSFW will make obselete.

I am think the steering module, clock spring, stalks and wiring can obtained a MK5 golf/jetta at the wreckers.

I will check what version of steering module I have first using VCDS.

Was considering buying the wheel new from skodatiele.com, are these guys reliable?
