Default Would a Steering Wheel Control upgrade be possible?

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has looked into upgrading the steering wheel controls on our A4s.(?)
I recently saw these pics of the A6 controls and really wished I could get them on my A4.
It would be great to have the track up/down controls on the wheel without messing with the scroll wheel.

The A6 uses the same scroll wheel to change tracks on the steering wheel as the A4. There's a next/prev track button on the console only.

So the left/right button(s) at the top of the left-hand control don't work for track skip? If not what does it do?

Or is this not an A6 steering wheel?

The < > buttons change to different DIS mode sections on the C7s. Each mode has several screen options that the steering wheel scroll wheel can select. (i.e. Radio, Nav, Computer, ACC, Hud, etc. There are about 5 or 6 modes, each with several selections for the DIS to display. It's a completely different DIS functionally and dimensionally than the B8s. It's not something that can be translated to the A4.
