I've a Golf Mk 6 GTi Flat bottom steering wheel with MF buttons on it. I've had it for over a year and now that I've recently purchased a caddy I believe the standard airbag is a direct fitment.
The caddy is a basic model with plastic steering wheel and no on board dash computer.
Is there much I would need to get the Steering wheel buttons working with the radio ECT? Or what is the parts il need to make it work?
Just a thought on this installation. Whilst you are doing this install why don't you fit cruise control if you have not got it already? You can get a cruise control kit which includes the correct swcm needed for the mfsw as well as the cruise control stalks. Cost from VW for the kit is £126.37 + the dreaded vat. VW cruise control kit part no 5K0054691D. Go on kill two birds with one stone. However you will still need the airbag to swcm wiring loom as tommyzooom said, but these are pretty cheap to buy though. I got one for £20 of the bay. VW part no 5K0971584A.
Just had a look on ebay and someone is selling a new cruise control kit as same as part no above (5K0054691D) for £115.00 + £6.99 p&p. They are open to offers.

Good thinking mate.
Just here on Vag com at the min
I was told that the airbag will fit straight into the mk6 wheel. The airbag the van has is 7E0 959 655 B. Do you know will it work with steering wheel?

Where did you get that airbag part no from? It is the control module ecu for the airbag. The airbag that you have on your original steering wheel is the right one to fit in your mk6 steering wheel. It is a straight swap. You will have to remove your original airbag first to remove the original steering wheel. Don't forget to disconnect your negative lead on your battery first before removing the airbag.
The easy answer is yes it will work, you have the right airbag already to fit your new wheel, but you will need the additional parts as mentioned before to code it in to make it all work properly. Parts still required are the highline swcm and airbag to swcm wiring loom.

I got it from VCDS. Yeah I've just googled it there and it's the airbag ecu itself .
I will disconnect the battery when removing airbag.
