At the very lest, post your model and year. I'm assuming MK7? I'm actually in the process of replacing the standard 2019 GTI buttons to the ACC button set. There are a few variations of buttons and steering wheel combinations depending on what your golf has (i.e. ACC or not). Ultimately you will need VCDS/OBDEleven to let module 19 know there is a multi function steering wheel.

I would start by looking to see if your wheel even has the required wiring installed. There are a few shop manuals floating about here or the vwvortex.

chances are you also have a LOW gateway which cannot handle the MFSW. need at least MID gateway (eventually upgrade to HIGH).

if you cannot scan your car with a cable you'll need to read the gateway label to find out.
