hi Doc
i have cracked it - in theory - got help from other vw forum guys!
Your right - MFSW doesnt come with the connectors from the switch modules to the steering column plug. What is need is a new airbag loom - so you can use your current airbag.
This loom has three connection points. From steering column to airbag. And then on from air bag to modules. part num 1K0 971 584 C cost approx £30
So one needs this loom plus a MFSW minimum. I understand that depending on your cars build, programming of/and/or new can bus may also be needed. - mines apr 06 build so may be ok. But i will start with the first two as they are mos def needed. then work from there
