Upgrading the Steering wheel and dash in a VW Passat

stepdoyle · 2011-01-21 11:15:00

I have a 2006 VW Passat and i was sitting in a new one today. It has a new console, gps radio and steering wheel with buttons on it. I was wondering if its possible to replace my console and wheel with a new one or is it just too expensive? Anyone know who even does this? its hard to find a rear wiper let alone a 2010/11…

The cost and hassle in trying to put a 2011 dash in a 2006 Passat would be far too great to be worth your while. You could get a GPS radio alright...

Ask Mike and Ed on wheeler dealers to do it for you...they love doing that kind of S.hite.
Steering wheel and stereo is easy enough,,,console a different story.
Cost a fortune id imagine.
