I just got steering wheel from the new TT with paddle shifter complete with airbag. My stock steering wheel is with button shifter. Can i replace it and make it work? Has anyone done this before?

AFIK, you can use the paddle shifters in your car. My car is a manual so I'm not 100% sure, but in researching installation for my MKII MFSW, I think I read they work on cars that had pushbuttons. You will need a new S/C ring, maybe the control module, and adapter plug. Look for the write up that HX_Guy did on it. Diagnosticator might know for sure about this. You can also do some research over on navplus.us.
