Hi Mr P,

Is your steering wheel buttons fully functional, if so does the cruise work on both the wheel and stalk?

I've got the same wheel waiting to go on but everything works fine with my mk6 wheel just didn't want to splash out on an airbag if the mk7 wheel doesn't work electrically

Thanks in advance

James

Hi Strath25

The thing is it's not a MK7 wheel, it's actually a Polo R wheel. Looks the same but has different codes. The cruise on the wheel doesn't work but could be made to work if I change a fair few parts and install the ACC.

As in Adaptive Cruise Control (aka. Radar Cruise Control)?! I didn't know it was possible to fit that to Caddy... Or did you just mean "regular" cruise control. Would love to have ACC on my Caddy...

Mines is a GTD Golf wheel but button set up is the same, as long as all else works I'll fit it

First mod.
went to the beach and the sun disappeared.
so started stitching on my Mr steering wheel leather cover.
took an hour and a half but I think it's a great low cost option. Sure it's not as good as factory but still an improvment and im happy with the result.
New plates next.

Decided to insulate the roof after all.

Probably will add a 2nd layer overall before I carpet it.

What insulation have you used?

Today I wrapped the rear lights

Hi,
This is something I plan to do when I finally pick my caddy up but I have always been curious to whether the indicators and reverse lights would end up being red (when lit).
Can you shed some light on this for me please.

They are well worth the money and smooth as silk to
