I have a 2001 2.7T with the auto trans and tiptronic. Isaw in myowners manual that there is a sport steering wheel thathas the buttons on it that will allow youto shiftgears like the tiptronic. Currently I have the steering wheel that has the audio features. I'll beswitching outthe stereo so those buttons will become useless and the other buttons I don't use anyway (phone buttons). So I was wondering if I could swap inthesport steering wheel anduse it to shift.I'd imagine that there might be some wiring needed, but then again, they may have thought of that and it's already there.

 

that i believe is the RS6 steering wheel with the flippy paddle. it is a straight swap. but the steering wheel you need to find for no less than $500 then i believe you need the airbag if it dosent already come with the steering whell. do a search on the net, i know i saw a guy make a DIY on it.
