Thanks for the wonderful information. I'm new here.
I have 2011 VW polo 1.2 TSI 6R.
I had been a regular no button steering wheel.
I bought this MFSW and trying to retrofit to my car

I followed every steps closely and it was a success.
However, I have 2 issues,
1) Only 4 buttons working.
On the Right, the only one working is "CC Off" button and it working as a Horn.
On the left, Page left --> Song Previous, Page Right --> Song Next, "OK" button reduce the volume

2) No Light

Based on the reading, I believe it must be something to do with the connector ring.
I would like to confirm it with the seniors here for that.
I am planing to add Cruse Control soon and hope I could use the paddle shifter also.

Here are the rest of the photos.

I know I’m a few years too late, I didn’t read the instructions properly so after all the hard work I came to find out my polo airbag doesn’t fit (which again my fault), I was wondering the P/Ns of the airbags that do fit as I’ve done everything for my polo I just need the right airbag. There’s a lot that looks similar (like the touran mk1 or golf mk6) but I don’t know if they’ll actually fit.

I got everything working but for some reason my car's got errors on the dash. Ive tried the steering angle sensor reset procedure but still comes up even a DTC reset doesn't fix it (Ignore the ABS and Seatbelt lights, had the handbrake on and seatbelt off). Any suggestions?

Hello guys, reviving this thread
because i want to add mfa functions...

My steering wheel is the classic T from the scirocco (without MFA)
MY cluster i believe is MFA+ since it comes from a GT

So i will buy the buttons, the wiring loom and module that Ciclo once told me i need .

What i want to know , is that according to this retrofit wiring must be done, for 12v and lin bus or however they are called.
I found this wire https://wibutec-shop.com/Cable-set-for- ... VW-Polo-6R
is there another easier way to do this with this cable without soldering wires etc ?
Or in general any other easier way regarding the wiring ?
