OK so thanks to Transporter here's the VCDS output for airbag and steering wheel from my 2011 125 TSI Tig - built April/May 2011 from memory. And yes I have white MFD and multi-function buttons on my steering wheel - not sure if that makes a difference.Quote:

I just wasn't sure what MY was your 125TSI.Quote:

Basically as a rule of thumb ... it should be plug and play for those with white MFD and multi-function buttons.
Yes I noted that my steering wheel has the same part number as yours - 5K0 953 521 AT (as per your second post with VCDS coding pics). So hopefully everything is just plug and play with the new wheel/airbag. About to bite the bullet and buy an airbag - may look to get one with a cable just in case...Quote:

Hi, jumped on the opportunity when this Mk6 wheel came up. Jus wanna ask u guys who are the experienced in swapping SW and have probably seen a number of them... Can I just confirm whether u guys know if this is 100% the Golf GTI Mk6 SW?

If so, How do i find out the part number of the airbag that will fit this steering wheel? And also a steering wheel module control for this SW? I have a MY2010 Tiguan. Does anyone know? Or do I have to bring the wheel to the local VW dealership to find out? I hear they are not helpful in this area due to warranty issues?
Just out of curiosity too... After changing the SW over, would there be an issue w insurance if I ever get into an accident? :S or even warranty w VW themselves?
It certainly looks like a Mk6 sports wheel with a flat bottom. You can check the part# for the steering wheel - should be something like 5K0 998 537 B. At least that's the part# off my Type R wheel so it should only be the last letter that changes if anything.Quote:

I am buying my airbag from the US seller, though he does not have/supply cables with this airbag. From previous posts you can just re-use your Tigs existing cable, but if you want to be safe get the wheel with a cable suitable for multi-function wheel.
If you don't want to have issues with your insurance I'd suggest getting a qualified tech to install it. If you do this though they may want to purchase/supply the airbag, otherwise it will be all care and no responsibility.
Either way getting somone qualified to disconnect/reconnect the airbag is probably not a bad idea as there are explosives inside and not something you want going off unexpectedly as 1) it's dangerous 2) you'll have to buy another airbag :P
Re the SWCM if you can get someone to do a scan, just check that it matches up with the part# from previous posts - 5K0 953 521 AT. If it's the same you should be OK. If it's different then you probably still should be OK but you'll only find out once you go to fit it.
Given that the Tiguan has a multi-function wheel minus the paddle shifters I think you should be OK as there's likely only a couple of SWCM - basic and multifunction. The multifunction will have all the smarts just have the option unselected for the paddle shifters in software. Simple thing to turn on once the wheel is installed.
I should have my steering wheel fitted in the next week or 2 but my Tigs a 2011 model (last of the "old" shape).
Let us know how you get on.
It certainly looks like the genuine article as the wheel has the distinctive red stitching that is indicitive of the MK6 gti wheel.
My wheel which I imported from the U.K. [complete with airbag] is the "R" line type and only has the black stitching with the R symbol on the lower part of the wheel.
The only thing "missing from my wheel was the small wiring harness that attaches to the multifunction electrics of the wheel.
That was overcome by simply removing the small harness from the original wheel and plugging into the R wheel.
I think if yiou can find a VW qualified specialist to fit the wheel then thwere wont be any "warranty" problems as such.
My mfsw with paddles has worked perfectly since the retrofit.No problems at all.
Phil
I forgot to add also that you shouldnt need to get another control module as my Tig is a my2010 and my installer said that the electrics are already setup for this retrofit, so you shouldnt have a need for parts apart from your airbag issue.
Good luck with that!
Phil.
Kinda late asking after you've bought it!Quote:

As for insurance issues ... just let your next of kin deal with a faulty airbag that didn't go off!
But I'd suggest after they've cashed in on your funeral plan and life insurance first. :rolleyes:
Yes... :) I wasn't actually askin if this was 'fake' or not. I was 99% sure it's the MK6 GTI one but because I don't see enough of Golf's ard, I was wondering if what I thought was right so that I am able match an airbag to it. :)
Thanks for the tips. I've just taken the sticker inside that says SK0 419 091 E ASY. So what wld the airbag part number be that will match this exactly? :)
