If you search Google for retro fitting MFSW, a gent did it in an MK5 Golf, I assume we'd also need to change the steering control module, anyone with ETKA shed some light as I'd like to do this too

Obviously the same MFSW as mine.

Just had a reply from a guy on ebay that has done this.
You willl need, the steering wheel, new steering wheel module and new airbag wiring harness, no idea on the cost of parts, anyone with ETKA?
