It is still possible to get the steering column shroud that has a
  <br>
place for the switch.
  <br>
  <br>
Of course the VW switch is about $100. You might score (as I did) on
  <br>
the whole shebang (minus the heating pads) from someone in Europe. But
  <br>
there are other alternatives.

This is the place I ordered from. One of their products has a multi-
  <br>
dial switch, much like the OEM VW switch. Similar, but not identical.
  <br>
Those similarities are annoying. Physically, it is about the same
  <br>
size, but the spring clips on the side, are tiny and not like the OEM
  <br>
switch, so if you put it into the shroud, it will be loose.
  <br>
  <br>
Also the multidial switch they send is designed to be vertically
  <br>
oriented, whereas the OEM VW switch is designed to be horizontal.
  <br>
  <br>
I may yet try to use the OEM switch in place of that supplied with the
  <br>
kit.
