Well the physical installation of the Mk7 wheel wasn't too hard. There was the small issue of having a spare spade connector - essentially another earth connection, however nothing to connect it to so I ended up taping it up and leaving it unconnected.
The good part is that the horn works. The bad part is that all the buttons are screwed up (and many don't work at all). OK button is volume down and I can select the channel up down with the other inside selector buttons but all the other buttons don't work. I'm looking to get my hands on a vagcom cable (was going to need this for coding the DSG paddle shifters anyway) but looks like its going to be a few changes required in terms of coding and possibly even wiring to get everything sorted...

I've done the wheel swap before using a Mk6 R wheel but this steering wheel is out of a Mk7 and is totally different in terms of wiring (although uses the same connectors). I might post up in the audio/electronics forum area to see if anyone has any experience with doing this on other vehicles.

Well I've got the paddle shifters working but haven't been able to sort out the other buttons. It doesn't look like there's an option in VCDS to select cruise control on the steering wheel... at least not with my SWCM.

Thought I'd at least post a picture of the steering wheel... although it's not working 100% at the moment I'm hoping to have that sorted out shortly.

I think it's just the model year. Mines a July 2012 built MY13 155TSI. I think MY14 might have had the chrome trims.
I did go into the dealer looking to see if this was just a trim piece that could be added, however it was going to require replacing the whole foglight surrounds which weren't cheap. It's been put on the backburner for the moment.
My wife has seen them on some other Tigs and likes them and I have to admit they do lift the front and tie it in with the grille. I may have to look into it a little further to see what can be done here on a budget. Previous car I got some chrome coloured tape and used this for highlights, however I don't like my chances of using that to do a tight curve around a foglight.
