Ventoman, congrats on the new buy! It is truly an inspiration to see how many DIY you have successfully executed. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I just saw that instead of replacing the wheel you can add only the paddle shifters to the wheel. Saw them at the below website - they seem to do installs as well:

Has anyone tried this mod? Also is there anyone you may know of, who does this install in Mumbai?

Unfortunately this retrofit is not compatible for Vento or Polo. I had called vagtune sometime back and was told this. We have to go the expensive way of changing the wheel if we want paddles

Thanks senthils27, I really wish there was a simple fix like this for the Vento as well - would have saved 40k.

Kit received was as below.

This is a mouth-watering upgrade! I would like to do this for my Polo 1.2l petrol 2014 Highline. Would it be feasible? Could you also provide the link on aliexpress, I can see many results on the website but since your buy is tried and tested; I'll go for that!

Thanks

Sure, please find the link here.

However, please note there's a better option with Auto light and rain sensor as done by few folks here. For example - Graaja's thread here .

Thank you Ventoman! I shall soon try this out. Not too keen on rain sensing wipers as where I live (Agra) is sadly a dry barren desert without even a decent monsoon

Also, I hope this is plug and play right? Would I require any VCDS coding post install to get it running?

Yes. pretty straight forward and doesn't require any VCDS tweaks.

Was there coding involved? Did your GTi wheel come equipped with the small control module where controls and paddles are plugged in?
