A8 steering wheel in a4?

[blake1312]

Looking at upgrading my current 3 spoke wheel to one with radio controls and paddles. Have been offered one from an audi a8 but not sure if it will fit? Part number is 4f0124a. 4f0419091aq.

If so I take its a DIY job to fit then find someone who can program in?

thanks in advance

It may fit, but airbag is the issue, there are 2 types, so you need to remove your airbag, no need to disconnect just unbolt from rear, lift airbag forward & take images of rear of bag or the wheel insides, then post up pics of the A8 wheel & yours so we can ascertain which airbag type you have, also the A8 loom may need modifying to work on your car, can be done but IMHO look for an mfsw version of your wheel.

Also have to make sure you have the correct slip ring & steering module, along with vcds & spline socket.

We can offer this service with a supply/fit solution if interested, whereabouts are you located?

Thanks for your help I'm based in bristol, what do you mean by 4 spoke the wheel looks identical to my wheel so will my air bag not fit? Thanks again

Sorry I was reading another thread on another forum & posted wrong info, someone else was asking me about airbags & wheel swaps lol.

I've edited my post with new info.

Would you be able to tell from a picture of e a8 wheel with air bag removed my wheel is a standard one with no buttons is identical shape to a8 one

also if it helps the a8 is a2006 my a4 is a 2005

quick update wheel purchased checked and both looked same inside so went for it, what sort of price is the modular likely to set me back?

Wheel has been conformed as the correct one now I'm looking for the slip ring and came across this one on eBay. It has the cruise control already which is what I want to do at the same time, my only question is my rh stalk has control for the dis ect is it possible to swap this over onto it?
