Yes, it can be done.

You would need a highend steering control module, mfsw loom and the wheel with paddles.

probably a good idea to get your car scanned with Vag-com to see what you have now

I think Brimma's done it?

Correction, Ben at Shark Performance did it - I just provided the car and the parts

Individual choice really - I don't use the paddles much, but it's nice to have them there if you want them

My original wheel was non-multi-function, so I gained all ends up

The replacement is a Golf MkV GTi flat-bottomed wheel - nice and chunky, and I'm not bothered that it's got a VW badge in the middle of the airbag

Mk6 wheel and airbag here on German eBay

Here you go - http://www.superskoda.com/skoda/octavia-ii/octavia-ii-rs-facelift-09-multifunctional-steering-wheel-incl-airbag - the correct steering wheel including airbag.

Oh, and I still don't understand why Skoda refuse to supply an MF wheel with manual engines! Ridiculous...

And unless anyone has found a work round for it yet, that wheel won't go in a pre-facelift car :no:

I have an mk5 gti wheel with paddles and it can be done, as stated before.

But my friend bought that new model wheel for FL octavia, but it seems that

they dont supply it with AIRBAG wires, so you cant use buttons without right kind of wiring.

Now we thought that the older model wiring would still go, but no, it's not wide enough connector.

Original wires works with airbag, but to get buttons to work, I still havent found right kind of wiring.

I would need the code for that item urgently, help.

Would 3C8 971 584 A work?
