Not sure, but ive got a 2014 Yeti MFSW in my 2013 Fab.

I have heard the later octy stuff doesnt work though. Cant remember why.

Oh and mines a manual

The paddles only plug in though. Dont think it makes much difference. If some of it works id think the dsg buttons would.

Which are compatible with Fabia RS mk1? The steering wheel of the Octavia has the couplings and the module of the airbag identical to the one of the Fabia

Yea I've been thinking this too. Would love a flat bottom one with red stitch... I think you can remove the stereo and phone controls from each side and imagine put the Fabia vrs ones back in

[fabiamk2SE]

Fabia's only got the left hand controls on the mfsw

The right hand ones will work when a steering wheel with them is fitted though.

My right controls do the maxidot

Oooh really no that's just sealed the deal

yeah, works loads better. The phone button if pressed brings up voice activation on my Zenec headunit, so i can just say who i want to call or whatever. Works well as its worked out. 

 

Just dont touch the buttons on the end of the right stalk, because it gets confused temporarily. Resets on next start up, but just confuzzles it abit.

Which model is valid for the Fabia RS Mk I ?

I dont know what you mean by fabia Rs mk1. This is the mk2 section so im assuming you arent on about the mk1 6Y, and there wasnt a vrs on prefacelift models of the 5j

I mean Fabia RS 5j mk1

[fabiamk2SE]

I mean Fabia RS 5j mk1

Whats a mk1 fabia Rs though? Cos the 5j is a mk2. 6Y is mk1.

As above.

5J  2007-2014 Fabia that is pre face lift then Face Lift.

 

EduVRS

Are you talking Mk2 vRS 2010-2012, then 2012-2014?

 

There are threads in this section on changing steering wheels on the vRS, how too etc if you look.

 

PS.

I like my steering wheel as fitted to my Dirty Diesel as much as any i have used, a nice small size,

and the paddles are fine on it just as they are.

My Fabia is CAVE , 2010-2012

The latest Octavia uses a different protocol for the buttons. They won't work with the 5J. You'll need the buttons from a facelift (2014-) Superb which I think were also on the Yeti of a similar age.

[sonny.s]

so the Octy wheel will work as long as the buttons are replaced with Superb/yeti buttons with all the MFD working aswel as the paddles?
