I have a 1996 a4 Quattro I found at my local junkyard a newer a4, around 04 (the guy I spoke to didn't know exact year) I am looking if possible to upgrade to the newer style armrest, and center controls, if so is it a really difficult change?

Ps. As always I apologize for my bad grammar

 

Is it this style?

 

I believe that is the interior style of the car I am looking at from my local junkyard

 

That's a B6 A4 and no, the dash and cockpit is completely different. You can swap to a facelift B5 (99.5-01.5) for a cleaner look.

Here is a pic of the interior someone removed the sunroof right after I looked at it the first time

 

That's the one I'm talking about. Follow this guide and you'll have all the info you need for doing the work, as well as a full list of what parts you need. I did it on mine last year - the link is complete and gives you everything. One addition I'd make though - you'll extend the wires for the rear defroster and plug them into the switch on the new setup. The terminals are very close, so use the female blade terminals that have the insulated plastic cases over them so the wires don't short against each other.

Here's the link:

DIY B5 A4 Center Console facelift upgrade

 

Also out of curiosity can I pull the steering wheel and install it in my car too?.... Or will the steering column fit in my car?... I like the key style and I want to switch it all into my car

 

I am really more interested in the entire steering column

 

Since you have a '96 it's gonna be quite a bit of work to swap over the centre console and steering wheel. The HVAC controls will need wiring work to make it fit, and you can't swap over the steering wheel because the spline size is different, you'll have to swap over the whole column.

 

Ok entire column then works for me I am willing to do all this I finally made the decision I am keeping the car and building it the way I want I am going to do the interior upgrade and then eventually swap the 2.8 out to the 4.2
