Hi, I am wondering if I can easily swap my 4 spoke manual transmission steering wheel for a 3 spoke tiptronic wheel? I remember I came across an example of someone who did this before but not sure how much custom work was done to accommodate this. Does anyone know if this can be easily done and if yes, is there some sort of write up? Thanks in advance.

We did it on 2 local cars years ago. It is a straight swap, but of course the tip shift buttons will not work as there are no wires on your 4 spoke wheel car to connect the buttons to. If you want to use the tip shift buttons to control something, such as the OBC, then you would need change out your manual air bag contact unit for a tip unit.

Thank you very much, that DIY write up is very helpful. Does anyone have any info on how to wire the Tiptronic buttons to control the OBC? I am assuming that the steering wheel with airbag that I am purchasing would have the Tiptronic contact airbag unit.
