Default Will a steering wheel from a Tip S4 fit an A4?
I have come across a steering wheel from a wrecked Tip S4. This is going to be a replacement for my crappy four-spoke non-leater crap wheel.

Was wondering if a Tip wheel is going to cause any problems in a manual car.

Has anyone done this before?

Default this brings up another question...
how do the buttons connect to the car? Can those buttons be used to control something else (Volume of stereo, NAWZ, lasers, torpedoes, etc..)

Default The steering wheel will not fit...
96-97 A4's had a smaller diameter steering spline for the steering wheel than the '98 and newer models. I found this out the hard way....

Default Hmmmm... good question
Ther's a series of wires that run down teh steering column. I suppose it's possible to make the buttons operate other stuff in a manual trans car...
