VW Transporter T6.1 Heated Steering Wheel Retrofit – Full DSG Paddle & Heating Integration

Upgrade your VW Transporter T6.1 with a heated steering wheel and fully functional DSG paddle shifters! Whether you're driving long distances or just want a more comfortable experience, this retrofit offers both warmth and improved control.

A Complete Retrofit – More Than Just Fitting a New Wheel!

Unlike a basic steering wheel replacement, this upgrade requires:
✔️ Custom wiring & module modifications for heating activation
✔️ Advanced coding for seamless integration
✔️ DSG paddle shifter activation for enhanced driving control
✔️ Compatibility with Discovery Media, allowing you to control heating through the infotainment system

Control It Your Way – Steering Wheel Button or Discovery Media

With our retrofit, you can turn on the heated steering wheel via the button on the wheel or directly through the Discovery Media infotainment system. If your van has a digital dash, the heating icon will also display confirmation when activated.

Customer Notice – Beware of Cheap Chinese Import Steering Wheels

Over the last couple of years, the UK market has been flooded with Chinese-made steering wheels and fake leather retrims. Many sellers claim these wheels are high-quality, but in reality, they do not meet OEM safety standards and are often made from synthetic materials that wear out quickly.

What You Need to Know:

🚫 Most imported steering wheels are manufactured in China and are not TUV-approved
🚫 They do not meet EU-regulated safety specifications
🚫 Many claim to use leather, but it is actually synthetic—it may look fine at first but won’t last as long as real leather
🚫 Non-genuine steering wheels have not been properly tested for safety

Every vehicle part fitted must have TUV approval to meet safety regulations. When choosing a custom retrimmed steering wheel, ensure it is done professionally using a genuine OEM steering wheel.
