Hi everyone,
First post here, just picked up a 2016 Golf Comfortline with the 1.8T TSI. I ended up getting the auto for a number of reasons, and while I'm enjoying the powertrain so far I miss the functionality of having paddle shifters and it's really the one drawback for me with the car.
My main question is if anyone knows whether or not the steering wheel wiring harness would accept inputs from the wheel for the paddles. If it was a matter of installing the necessary parts (TDI/GTI/R steering wheel w/ paddles, airbag, etc...) and the rest being plug and play or requiring some quick programming I will probably pursue it, but otherwise it's probably more effort than it's worth. Just wondering if there would be commonalities between the regular Golf & the GTI/R so that the harnesses are the same.
I'm finding it difficult to find any info on this since most are trying to put the mk7 wheel into the mk6 and earlier which has other issues associated with it.
Any help or pointers with this would be greatly appreciated.
