Anyone willing to help on a steering wheel install?

Hi all - So I'm just about ready to purchase the following:

The problem is I'm not equipped with tools (no penis jokes) or the knowledge to play around with removing an airbag. My S4 has the Muit function steering wheel so I figured it should be an easy plug and play.... Right??? Is there anyone on here that is willing to help me with the install? Beer and pizza could be included!

Thanks

Sorry, I stay away from these jobs. I attempted the Tip Wheel mod on my B5 A4 several years ago and it was a mess. But, that being said, totally different job because of the wiring needed. If yours is truly plug and play, then it should be simple. If the tools are the same as for my job, I'd even let you borrow my tools, I'm just going nowhere near it. The airbag, at least on my A4 was not an issue at all. It literally unplugged and pulled out. Nothing to it. The issue you need to confirm before attempting the job is that whatever wiring harness you have currently in your car for your existing wheel will work for the new wheel that you've bought. Don't make the assumption that it is the exact same wiring. Do your planning beforehand and it will pay off. You should be able to call a parts shop and explain to them what you are doing and they should be able to check and confirm that the wiring harnesses are compatible.

Yeah I'm waiting to make sure that the connectors on the back match up with what I have. Good point on calling and finding out if they match up. I will do that now.
