You speeded up the most important part showing how to change over the plugs

I Just fitted my RS7 wheel today (onto my A7). Was way easier than I expected and cost £10 in tools. All buttons and paddle gears work as normal. If anyone in the UK needs one removing/fitting then give me a shout 🤙 Cheers for the vid!!

Hey dude! keep up the good work bro, just recently subscribed. looking forward to more videos on the S4!

You helped me out alot with this video you car is looking sweet, I like your style keep up the good work

The dual stage airbag, such as that used in the D3 A8 (4E), C6 A6 (4F), and Mk1 Q7 (4L) as well as the Mk2 clones (8P A3 and 8J TT) has two igniters that fire sequentially with a computed delay. The B8 platform (8K A4, 8T A5, 8R Q5, 8F A5 cab) appears to have introduced the adaptive single stage airbag, which the other platforms picked up at their revisions (D4, C7, etc). In the adaptive config, the airbag is a single stage / single igniter. The second igniter cuts a cord which opens up an airbag discharge port. You can see the cord on the orange plug of the old one at 3:21. The B8.5 version has a different looking strap, but same concept. Audi's SSPs are cryptic, but it seems that the purpose is to reduce the hardness of the airbag as you smack it in lower momentum events. As such, given the differences in the purposes of the igniters, I would not keep the dual stage in your B8. You are DTC free because the ABS module sees two igniters, but they are not going to invoke the same results with that different airbag installed.

I do agree, the flat-bottom steering wheel is WAY WAY better. :) Just plug and play, who would have thought!

This is awesome, but let's say I'm not savvy in electronics. What mod did you do to the wiring?

Looking to buy a flat wheel for my Allroad, no paddle shift there of course but if I find a non paddle shift flat with an 8k airbag, you believe it would be the some procedure?

Did you ever get the Nav button to work? I did this mod years ago and it’s still the only thing I haven’t managed to get sorted.

You just earned a supporter

I have a manual B8 s4, would a steering wheel from a dsg work? are the paddle shifters on the wheel itself or on the steering column.

Question plz: A4 B8 2009 2.0tdi with 4 spoke oem steering wheel, will the flat bottom 3 spoke steering wheels work? i.e. b8.5 sline 3 spoke together with the air bag

Hi there great videos keep going i just did flat bottom conversion on my b8s4 did your steering was not straight when driving straight

A steering wheel from an Audi A5 facelift would work on my 2009 audi a4 b8? The steering wheel is basically the same as yours and do i need to change pins and stuff or just take the old steering wheel off put the new one on and thats it?

Nice video. Is it the same for A5 2010 to upgrade to the one from 2012? Thanks

I have the 2012 model and actually love the look of the steering wheel

Hi! I want to replace my no multifunction wheel with a multifunctional one. I don t care if buttons from new one will work. It will fit in my a4 b7?

Could you properly explain what you wired and how? was planning on changing the steering wheel on mine but some help on the wiring would be nice

Can you use existing centre airbag box in my a4 and just swap the wheel to a s line? Plug and play?

Thanks for the video!

I’ve already disconnected my battery but still got the wheels straight will the ignition still work to turn them

Quality video! Did you find this locally or did you order it from somewhere?

Im doing this mod too, will i have to code the paddles because i dont have them already?

I have a question. So when I Take the Airbag with the serialnumber 8K0.... I have to Change nothing? So Just Plug an Play ?

How did you modify the plug to make it fit ?

Hey bro quick question so I retrofitted a new Audi b8.5 cf steering wheel and got a proper airbag too when I turn my car on the horn honks for 1-2 seconds then doesn’t honk if I try to push airbag down do yk what could fix this

This is very interesting and great job. Do you know if this is also doable on a S5 manual?

Does the Nav button do anything on the new wheel? Heard it's the only part that doesn't have an equivalent from the old wheel and not 100% sure how I feel about a button having no use on my car.

Hi , love the video. I’m just looking for some advice. The airbag you fitted to the S4, was it a stage 1 or 2 airbag? I’m looking at buying similar however I’ve been told I need a stage 1 airbag due to the age of my car, 2011 A4 avant. Can a stage 2 airbag be fitted to my vehicle?

I have an 07 C6 S6 and I’m trying to upgrade my wheel to a flat bottom carbon fiber wheel.. I took it to my mechanic and he said the pins don’t match up how can I modify that yellow pin

you have a boot release toggle behind the right boot compartment where the rear fuses are.

Hi! What are your slip ring partnr?😅

I have a A5 8T and got also that ugly steering wheel. got a face lift flat like u have here. min new airback dont fit in the connector in car. the yellow connector is diffrent in shape then the old one :( is there a way to remove old connector and put it in the new airback ?

Hi, Ive got an A5 sportsback s-line with a s-tronic gearbox. I have the normal s-line steering wheel without paddle shifters. If I would install a wheel with paddle shifters would they work?

From where did you got these new steering wheel

hello, i have a new steering wheel from audi a6 c7 and my car is a5 prefacelift, same steering wheel as yours. My question is, do I need a new cable or does it work with the original cable that is in my steering wheel

I'm afraid of change my steering wheel just bc of the airbag.. I'm afraid is going to blow when i put the terminal back :(.

Will this work for the A5?

Looks great. Is it possble to use old airbag with new steering wheel?

Im still trying to understand what you did to the airbag connector.

Awesome video! Ive got an S5 B8 so will definitely look at changing to the B8.5 wheel

Hello, I have a car control gear Audi A4 Sedan 1.8 TFSI 2011 There are no steering wheel control buttons. If I bought a steering wheel with buttons to operate the screen, does it work or needs programming? Thank you

I have 2010 Audi S5 v8 I'd like to buy a flat bottom steering wheel and airbag. Where to source from?

How much did the wheel and new airbag cost ? Based in east suburbs Melbourne and have been looking to get a flat-bottom wheel on my 2010 B8 A4. Bit wary of DIY myself and doing anything to mess the car up with my inexperience. Any chance your company could do this for me ? Ahaha thanks :)

4L is from a 2012 Q7 I believe. I have a 4.2TDI s-line and it's the same.

how did you modify the plug?

What a great video!!

hi I also have an a4B8 but I wonder why we can not remove the driver's airbag simply with the engine switched off without contact but without disconnecting the battery ???? is it possible ?? because I have to change my flywheel and put back my current aribag .. what is the size of the torx to disassemble the central nut of the flywheel ?? Thank you for your answer

Yo dude. I have a b8 2.0tdi 2010 model. Im replacing the steering wheel to a flat bottom wheel but its a custom version so my own current airbag stays the same. I currently have the auto cvt gearbox with paddle shifts and multifunction wheel. Will I have to recode the replacement wheel or is it plug and play for the paddle shifting? Thanks so much

How did you modify the plug…. What did you do to it….. CAN YOU SHOW ME WHAT YOU DID TO IT

That’s a good job mate. Now I want it!! Do you reckon this wheel would work on a B8.5 Avant? I’ve got a 1.8tfsi. Not An S line. I Would black that S off.

What is your custom exhaust setup? Sounds nice 👍

Hey mate, Darrell from New Zealand. Im upgrading 2011 RS5 wheel. Everything'ssweet, but up to the problem with the black wires vs colored wires. Also there is a different number of wires.. Could you help me out mate? Can send you some photos Thanks

Can you put a b9 S4 steering wheel on a b8.5?

what did you do to the plug to modify it?

Where did you buy the actual steering wheel?

Will this work for an A5 8.5?

Why does my horn go off when i put it into acessory or when i turn on the car it does it but then a few seconds it acts normal. My horn doesnt work when the car is On

Did you disconnect the battery?

The A4 B8 steering wheel airbag is one stage with the inflation rate controller. If the crash is minor, and also depending the driver seat position, the airbag will inflate less because the inflation controller will not activate. On major crash, and with some driver seat positions the controller will activate and release the line rope connected to the controller. In that case the unconnected line rope will allow the bag inflate totally. If you change you steering wheel you should get the one stage airbag with the controller. You can use B8.5 airbag and also B9 steering wheel and airbag. The TT mk2 and A3 8V have pure one stage bags...

How much did you pay to your local wrecker for those?

Steering Wheel Price

How did you know which wire was which when swapping the connector… I’ve currently got new airbag which has pink/blue/purple/ whereas the original steering has orange/red/ brown etc …. Any help appreciated
