I'm working with Ask Carbon as we speak on a flat bottom SW for my 2023 S5. I'm being assured that the "hands on detection" and heating will work. I only wanted perforated leather all around. Looking at $1,200. I will post pix when jobs complete. By the way, they will build a wheel to your specs.
Good info and will follow. Are you having them build this using a stock wheel? Since my stock is off would be easy to just send them that and build to my spec

Just got mine from him and he also assured me before buying that they have the module installed in their new steering wheel cores that will work with the hands on ACC.
Will definitely report back once I have it installed… *crossing fingers* I’d be disappointed to find out traffic jam/lane assist won’t function anymore just for a steering wheel lol.

The cool thing is, you don’t need to send your OEM core. He has it in stock. You just spec it how you want.

Did you end up installing it? What are your findings?

yup installed and working like factory as far as Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise… Just hiccup with the Start/Stop button (might have to abort mission on that one but the Drive Select is amazing.

Was it difficult to transfer over all the sensors and hardware from the old wheel to the new? I’ve been in talks with AskCarbon on instagram and seriously considering pulling the trigger on one of these as well. Pretty much exact same spec aside from the drive select and push to start modules.
Any videos or tips you’d recommend for the install?
So from what I see, he uses the round steering wheels and sculpts it to look like a flat bottom unit.
you can tell by the centre trim, the flat bottom ones are much shorter.
which is why the wheels have the hands on detection sensors and modules.
The real flat bottom units dont have the function. Except the rs6 units
