Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to change the steering wheel on a Polo to one with steering controls, although some work is required with the wiring for the installation of controls that were not previously on the steering wheel and must be added. Removing the airbag is easy: simply detach it using two screwdrivers pointed simultaneously from the sides; then remove the steering column cover and proceed with the wiring, which will require some knowledge of electronics to connect the buttons to the functions of your choice, such as the lights or horn, for which the manufacturer will have already provided the necessary preparation.
