Steering Wheel swap from 4 spoke to 3 spoke?

[Manon407]

Hey everyone, just recently picked up a C7 A6. I was looking to see if it was possible to swap from the 4 spoke steering wheel to the 3 spoke S-line/S6/S7 style wheel. I tried to do a search and didn't really find anything about anyone swapping from the 4 spoke wheel. I have a couple questions regarding it.

1. Is it even possible/compatible to swap the 4 spoke with the 3 spoke?

2. Do I need a new air bag or does the 4 spoke fit?

3. Do I need to do any coding or anything to get the Paddle shifters and other buttons on the wheel to work.

4. Where can I source a wheel?

I imagine that 2-4 are useless if the answer to 1 is no. Thanks for the help!

1. Yes you can swap
2. You will need the corresponding airbag
3. If you have functioning paddle shifters now you won’t have to change the coding
4. You can source them on AZ or eBay. Keep in mind you need both the wheel and airbag.
