So I traded in my 09 TDI sedan for a 11 TDI manual 6sp sedan. The old tdi was having to many issues and I wasn't going to take a chance at it breaking down again. Already had the lift pump take a dump and that took out everything in the fuel system. Then the tranny started acting up. See Ya!
I picked up a nicely equipped used Sedan with15k on it . I would have rather picked up a DSG so my wife could drive it but oh well!
The 2 things I miss are the mfsw and the high-line MFD. I upgreded my old TDI with a RCD-510 so the radio is familiar.
I understand that you can upgrade the MFD and MFSW. Where do I start, being I have a manual 6sp? I have the leather wheel with the audio controls so I would rather get the right side buttons and the ribbon cable and re-flash the BCM. I'm a GM guy so these may be the wrong terms, don't lynch me!
What do I need? Where do I look and has anyone else done the same upgrade?
I have a lot of contacts at salvage yards so If I know what part numbers to look for I just have to find the car.

you just need to find the right side buttons and swap. Very easy to do. I purchased mine from ebay for 100$, i bet they are lot cheaper now.

Part number is 5C0959538A, you need to remove the airbag and just remove the right hand side cover, install the new right side buttons and you are done.

Please tell more about the failed lift pump taking out the entire system !!! Some members believe this is one cause of hpfp failure !!!

I misspoke it was hpfp that took out everything to thelevel system. I changed the fuel filter one month after the system was replaced and found aluminum in the filter housing so I got rid of the car.

Anyone know where I can find a fmfd for my 6sp manual TDI?

Has any one removed their wiper stalk and replaced it with the standard model? I will probably pull mine to make it nonredundant. I've located quite a few local yards with newer jettas and will get the buttons soon. Now anyone chime in on the cluster upgrade?

I would love to have the GTI cluster and full MFD, but I'm going to wait for someone else to figure it out...
