Default 2001 Audi Steering wheel change?

I have a 2001 Audi A4 with a normal steering wheel and would like to change it to the steering wheel that controls the radio? Is that possible and if so where do I find a new wheel? Also do I need other parts to include the radio controls?

Thanks!

they put different steering wheels on the manual for a reason. if you really want it, it can be done. get a steering wheel with the controls and get some wires that will run to the radio and just rig everything up. a tech like auditech79 or techbod could probably get some pictures for you

if you can find a steering wheel that has the wires on them it would be great. i believe you need the same guage wires as the ones behind the radio. if you only want to control volume then it's alot easier than want to be able to chnge songs too. if changing songs is possible on the b5, i have no idea. local parts store should have the right wires for you or some place like circuit city will do too.
