    Steering wheel with stereo controls .

    Have tried on the van section but got no replies for this one . Ok have 2005 T5 transporter I wanted to upgrade the steering wheel to a model with steering wheel controls onboard . I have noticed that whilst Golf wheels fit the clock spring is not compatible as the electric connections at the rear are on the bottom and the Transporters are on the top . It seems that my van can have the wheel with the correct connections but finding one has been a marathon . Any one got some clues please . I tried a MK5 Golf which was how I found out they wont work .

    I had steering wheel replacment on my passat 2009. But...i had already 8 button steering wheel and installed 12 button MK6 multifunction steering wheel..Since i had already modul for that i did not need to change anything else.
    now, you can check compatibility since i have my old steering wheel (8 button)...
    let me know if can be fit...

    Thanks for the reply saint70 the main thing I noticed with the MK5 was that the wheel fitted perfectly but it was the clock Spring was the stumbling block along with the electrical parts as well . The Mk5 has a module of some sort on the underside of the clock spring with all the connections in there the T5 Transporter has the connections on the top side and from looking at the connectors it certainly seems that VW made allowances for the fitment of a button model wheel .
    This the T5 connection looking at the airbag connector

    This is the view of the indicator wiper stalk component you can see that there are two connectors one for airbag and the second one I am presuming is for the stereo controls which are not on the back of the clockspring

    This is the single connector as you can see once its turned over it matches the single plug at the outer end

    Thanks for the offer but a weekend drive from Qld is a bit of a stretch out of interest could you send a photo of the back of the wheel and also did you have to change the clock spring ?

    Thanks for the picture it seems the mk 5 is much the same if you look real close at the yellow connector you can see 12 pinholes if my eyes are correct . Now if you then look at the same connector on my wheel in the first photo it only has a row of 6 pins in a single row . So it looks like I would need a different clock spring to match the connector and then make sure the connection to the main column connector also has the two outlets .
