Steering wheel swap?

**ckpepper02** · 08-19-2008 07:01 PM

I was just curious to see if anyone knew what it would take to get this bad boy swapped into the AR and link the paddles to the sport shifting mode of the transmission? I'm sure I'll need the Airbag and what not, but anything else?

Sorry, if there is already a thread for this, can you point me in the right direction?

I've been researching this a bit... Apparently it works, but I dunno about the actual PADDLE shifting. I haven't found a SOLID answer yet.

Oh Oh! Great thread!

I want to do the same on my RS6. The controls in the R8, on the wheel, have spoiled the snot out of me and now I keep finding myself trying to control the radio with my thumbs in the RS and nothing happens.

i think the two streering wheels use different type of wiring for the music controls, so its impossible to make the newer streeng wheel music controls to work, the paddles on the other hand can be made to work, you just need a new self cancelling ring which has the hook-up for the paddles like the one in the rs6.

Thanks! That's good news.
