Retrofit Q5 steering wheel to A6 C7

[Audi Bremer]

hello

I got the old 3 spoke steering wheel without paddle shifters in the audi now.
I want the q5 steering wheel in it, what and how to get it to work?

Well there are a number of challenges you will need to overcome (I don’t have answers, but you need to be aware)

1. Is the Q5 airbag compatible with the C7 platform? Different models have different airbag types (single stage/duel stage deployment etc.)
2. Most of the new Audis (I.e. Those with virtual cockpits) use a new communications standard (LINBUS replaces CANBUS). The two don’t talk to each other without a specialist interface - Check out Ambrace.

Good luck!
