Retrofit Steering wheel controls

Post by KaRBoN85 »

Hello Peeps.
Would it be possible to retrofit Steering wheel Radio controls on an MK5?
My car came with a standard steering wheel and the previous owner butchered the wiring to install an aftermarket radio so there is no standard wiring harness.
So if I get a steering wheel with controls, would I be able to somehow hook it up?

That vid has all the part numbers listed. might be able to get new items from VW directly. Their prices can be surprisingly reasonable from time to time.
