Hi, so I've got a polo 6r 2012 match. the original steering wheel had no buttons. I got a leather steering wheel as an upgrade with the buttons on the left. so just a couple of questions if anyone can help.
the new airbag fits and the yellow look connector is the same so it goes in and there's no lights on the dash, however the airbag doesn't work.
apparently non mfsw airbags are a physical analogue connection and the mfsw airbags work by a digital signal.
it is possible to get the airbag working through coding or not?
also same question with the buttons I'm not too fussed if I cant with just coding but I'm more fused about having a working horn, for obvious reasons.
any help would be great. thanks
