Default is a steering wheel junk after the airbag is released?

i found some A4's in a junk yard with the sport wheel. I would love to pick one up if I didn't have to pay a lot for it and didn't have to deal with an airbag hassle. Is the air bag part of the wheel? If I get a wheel with an airbag blown out already...can I just use it with my airbag?

you can use the wheel if you buy another sport steering wheel airbag.
