Can an RS6 steering wheel with paddle shifters be installed in a 4.2? How much would that cost?

What's 0032? Gadzeek, I'm a junior user! To hold first gear? Does it do anything else?
The S6 holds first gear to redline <buzz lightyear>and beyond!</buzz lightyear> in both TIP and in Auto. I don't find 7,000 rpm in 1st gear to be all that pleasant an experience...first gear frequently = a cranked over steering wheel too, so I'm happy to shift earlier than redline. I'm not much into the stoplight challenges (I know my cars limitations!) and anyway, if I hit the TIP shift at about 4K rpm, it'll shift just about at 7K. That's what I mean by POS. Does the 0032 cause <i>quicker</i> shifts?

If memory serves correctly...
I believe it gives older tips the same shifting characterstics as the S position does in the S6.
I drove my S6 most of the time in S, not D. Only in driving around neighborhoods did I leave it in D.

I find that the "S" mode also works well in heavy traffic...you're not loafing at
1,100 rpm in 5th gear at 30mph, causing constant riding of the brakes...
I rode in the rear seat of the S6 tonight...how odd...how <i>stressful!</i>

First thing that I did...
...when shopping for a "nice" car last year was climb in the back seat. Jaguars (J and S series) were so bad that I didn't test drive them. BMW (540i) was more pleasant than Mercedes (E430), and Audi was deceptively (especially looking at it from the outside) roomy and very comfortable.
I enjoy being a passenger in my own car. One could get used to it, and then there's the A8...
Okay, sorry, back to tiptronic shifting-- I think that you should buy a used RS6 next year.
