Retrofit Golf 6 gti steering wheel in Golf 5 gti?

[efibaco]

Is it possible to retrofit Golf 6 gti steering wheel in Golf 5 gti (MY 2007)?

I have seen some Golf 6 gti steering wheels in ebay and i was wondering if anyone knows or has done something similar....

Thanks in advance !!

I can't see why not, they're essentially the same car.

If its a MFSW won't you need a new airbag and a new controller

There is a possibility that VW have changed the airbag deployment process for the MK6 to improve safety (i.e. the way the bag is folded, the force at which it fires, and the vent holes in the bag which allow it to cushion your contact with it), in which case it might be compromised if you fit it in the MK5

I would have thought it would fit though.

Also not sure if the MFSW functions would work - isn't there a different range of wheel functions on the MK6 wheel?

Wouldn't it be better to buy a Mk6 steering wheel, and retro fit a Mk5 GTI to it?

i don't care about MFSW functions since i don't have it too in mkv...

its just a steering wheel, surely there are better mods for the money?
