Quick question about steering wheels.

[Mar4ix]

Hi folks, quick question, I have 2008 Audi A3 , 2.0 TDI, bkd engine, manual gearbox, s-line. Have s-line 3 spoke steering wheel, but without radio control buttons, wonder is Audi A3 and other model Audi steering wheels with radio buttons are compatible? 

Any advice to find one ? Assume without air bag, as I could use mine one. 

I know about steering ECU under steering control unit , a while ago, I've installed cruise control, and I've replaced that ECU, and coded in order to work . Can't remember was that car , which I took off that ECU had steering control or not(have feelings it had,but not sure), also that was a bit newer car, as high beem light stalker had to fiddle a bit with, in order to get properly working. 

Wonder, I could see part number through diagnostics??  And then find out it supports steering wheel with buttons..

 

Thanks.

You'll need the wiring harness for the buttons. My advice would be to take all the parts from donor/breaker car.

I wonder is there any wiring and buttons to convert non button steering wheel ?

Hi if you are swapping to a buttoned wheel from non buttoned you will need the donor wheel and associated wiring loom and possibly another body control module which will leave it needing to be coded in to the new BCM to get it to work.
