I have DSG with paddles and it was just a case of removing the airbag and swapping the controls over to my current wheel. If you dont have paddles then there can be issues with the version of steering wheel control unit.

See, the buttons do come out....


So "should" be able to swap them into my steering wheel.

Back of the non MFSW may not have cut outs for DSG paddles.
Air bag wiring loom may not have additional connector for the buttons.

Mine is a Manual car, so do not have worry about cut outs for flappy paddles... only interested in the audio controls.

Hence I'm thinking it "should" be a straight forward swap of switch/button gear into my wheel in place of "blanks"

You may need VAG_COM to change the wheel profile to indicate there are buttons present seeing as it does not have paddles. If paddles are present the control unit is already enabled for button input.

Hey Cocopops, you have  high or mid line comp?
I want to do this too, but I only have mid, manual Gti non ed30.
Are these parts expensive from dealers, maybe you could make a note of the part nos for me?

I'm sure that some guy did it on the UK-Mkivs site. He listed all the parts and procedures.

Here it is:-

It looks like... fingers crossed, that I just need a new airbag loom (small lead) and I should be good to go....

Will report back...

Oh and to finlay.. I have a Manual Ed30 with Highline.
