I find many posts on the forums about retrofitting a B7 Multifunction steering wheel to a B6, and complications etc with the airbag wiring.
So I'm wondering, I currently have the regular 4 spoke steering wheel,
26139
and the car is fitted with the colour highline dashboard with full DIS and Cruise Control from new, so I'm wondering, (when I fitted Cruise to my other car a B7, because that already had high line dash and a multifunction steering wheel, the crusie retrofit was easy as the correct cables were already in place)
So my wonder is, if I eventually find the airbag with the buttons from a B6 on ebay (I know there is 2 different types, one for phone prep/PTT and the regular radio only version as pictured below)
26140
would it simply attach to the existing B6 4 spoke steering wheel, and would the cables be present on the existing cruise control slip ring? or am I hoping on this one?
Has anyone done this before? Is there any coding with VCDS if I do this mod, or do you think it's plug and play and the radio will work with the steering wheel?
