Removal isn't too hard. The airbag unclips from behind and then slides out, unplugs and is placed aside. The center bolt is undone with a Torx T55 or M12 twelve point bit/socket. The steering wheel slides off and the new one slides on. Tighten up the center bolt, plug in the airbag and push it into place which clips it in. If you had a shop install less than an hour for sure.
Cheers,

Several people have expressed interest in more details on the new RS extended metal shift paddles.
Shift Paddles | Extended
- The extended paddles are the largest top and bottom. Paddles are plastic and feature illuminated "+" and "-" icons. These are bolt-on for B9 factory steering wheels with round airbags that have paddles from the factory.
Shift Paddles | RS Extended - In Stock!
- The RS extended paddles are taller on the top than standard paddles. Paddles are not illuminated, but feature a cutout in the metal upper area plus a more solid and positive shifting action due to being metal instead of plastic. These are bolt-on for B9 factory steering wheels with round airbags that have paddles from the factory.
Shift Paddles | Standard
- The standard shift paddles are the smallest of the three and are factory fitted to A and S models. Paddles are plastic and feature illuminated "+" and "-" icons.
The newest addition with the RS extended paddle is interesting to see Audi go a in-between in sizing, but just as they did with the 1st generation R8 GT they went back to a metal shift paddles which does have a more solid, positive action when clicked. If anyone has any questions do let me know here or via PM/email: contact@europrice.us
Cheers!

If you install a new steering wheel controller which includes the slip ring and stalks that is specific to your car without the heating function then no warning. However with that it's a bit more involved of an install. Otherwise if you can live with the one warning when starting you can just replace the wheel without the other added items.
Note the exclusive wheel above did sell, but all of the others in the thread are always available.
