mk7 mfsw in a mk6...?

[S666LER]

Hello
I have searched and cant quite get the info needed.

I have been offered a mk7 gtd, TDI, blue motion mfsw, its lacking an air bag but its quite cheap so am happy to keep an eye out for a bag. Question is do mk7 wheels fit on mk6s. I am pretty sure 5 & 6 are interchangeable but not sure on mk7s?
Currently my mk6 has a standard steering wheel without buttons so I know i need to get it programmed up to activate the buttons.
Also anyone with a gti cloth interior looking to sell it please let me know.

Im not sure about the buttons working on the mk6 also a big one would be the buttons would illuminate white so would look a bit strange!!!!!

True I had not thought of the colour...

Nothings easy.

Just want mfsw. Could go for the standard leather mfsw but I like a flat bottom wheel. But they are £300-£400 on ebay

You will almost certainly have to change the steering wheel controller as well as reprogramming to get the buttons to work.

This table for mk 5/6 might help:

The mk 7 buttons on some versions also perform other operations like activating cruise control so compatibility might be a problem.

Very interesting link I will have a look at it and see what I need.

Think a mk6 gtd wheel is the best option.
