Very nice, this is exactly what I'd like. Was it just a direct swap over apart from changing the plug. Does it have paddles?

NOT heated, my 4 spoker was and i could barely tell the difference when it was 'on', $ was around $1400 with the wire harness and S badge.

it is a direct swap if the wheel comes with the airbag. the wiring harness in the back has to be modified so all the controls will work. It has the paddles(cant believe i didn't catch them with the pic) and i had to VAG them to work b/c i passed on the S line interior to get espresso leather instead of black and such my Q didn't have a 3 spoke wheel with paddles to start

Hello everyone.

I've changed my wheel steering too. Everything is plug'n'play (pre-lift 2008 model too). Old yellow plug and a new one aren't 100% visually similar but fit.



On Tuesday I will change gear **** from facelift. I'm waiting for a parcel

Are there any paddle shift steering wheels with heat that would fit a 2014 Prem+? I'm not willing to give up my heated steering wheel (moving to Boston next year) but the paddle shifters would be a fun addition.

Thanks,

Grey

Yes. My wheel steering has an opional version with heating. Button is one the left. You must find an european version. US version doesn't have it officialy.
