VW Golf MK7–MK8 Sport Chrono Steering Wheel Knob

Controls Where They Matter

Frequently used controls should not require reaching across the cabin.

This steering wheel-mounted rotary controller places key vehicle functions within immediate reach, allowing adjustments without removing your hands from the wheel.

Choose Your Function

Available in three functional configurations depending on your vehicle setup and preferred control layout.

Start/Stop + Drive Mode Selector
For quicker access to engine start/stop and drive mode control.

Sport Mode + Drive Mode Selector
For drivers who want sport mode access directly from the steering wheel.

Exhaust Valve + Drive Mode Selector
For vehicles equipped with exhaust valve control.

OEM-Style Integration

The design is inspired by performance steering wheel controls, but shaped to feel natural inside the Golf interior.

The goal is simple: add a more direct control point without making the cabin feel overdone.

Backlit for Day & Night

OEM-style backlighting keeps the controller visible in low light while matching the factory interior feel.

Defined rotational resistance gives each adjustment a clear, tactile response.

Installation

The knob integrates into the steering wheel assembly. Minor drilling and wiring are required for secure mounting and function.

Professional installation is recommended.

For drivers searching for a Golf MK8 steering wheel upgrade, GTI Sport Chrono knob, Golf R drive mode selector, or VW Golf steering wheel control retrofit, the goal is simple: put the controls closer to where they matter.
