steering wheel with radio controls?

I just bought my 03 A4 1.8 T and i would like to upgrade the steering wheel
do the newer audi's have the radio control buttons, or none of them have it?
i would like to upgrade a newer model steering wheel (if it fits of course) and i guess the junkyard may not be a bad option...or give me some links plz

thanks all

You might be heading down the "electronics nightmare" road on that one... If your current steering wheel is still good, I would stick with that. I looked into getting the RS4 steeringwheel, but...

#1 - They are hard to find...
#2 - Electronic components are different...
#3 - Very expensive, no doubt, if found...

not the only reason...but one of the reasons
mine is scratched up and i was looking for something a little bit smaller with radio controls
but i'm seeing that you guys are advising against it, so i guess i'll stick to what i have....
