I did the install after running errands this morning (including a new alignment). I didn't have a digicam handy during the install, which I accidentally left in the office, so I took these pics from a borrowed camera.

Notes and observations:
-the "ESP off" light is lit and won't go off when the engine is started
-horn works
-buttons are not yet functional
-the backlights to the buttons will light up with the rest of the car
-the install took ~5 minutes (not much work involved to pull the 'wheel). I'm not sure if creating a picture FAQ would be a good idea, it's a bit unsettling on how easily the wheel comes off.
-I should've had a CANBUS capable VAG-COM handy
-the steering wheel feels awesome, I love the enlarged thumb detents

Some of the pictures are a bit flattering. The rest of the car has been through a few snowboarding trips and the pics were taken a bit late at night... I'll clean out the interior tomorrow, she'll get the attention she deserves.

What are you going to have the "S" button do?

ed4

programs (stock, chipped, valet) if at all possible.

BenM@University Audi

how much for the wheel and ****? I'm guessing the wheel is around 500?

NVS4

Ed- that looks really good. Nice work.

Radak

Does the airbag work? Go smash into something and let us know.

PDXA4

Looks amazing...

RS4-2007

Let us know how much the wheel and airbag cost. Do you believe that swapping the wheel in a US RS4 will result in buttons that work?
Thanks!

The S button should play Dixie, hehe, JK. Looks great.

Audis or VWs 4Life

Do they have a wheel that non air leather? Like regular leather or better yet Alcantara? Also since you did carbon trim, any idea on costs of the piano black trim?
