I got me some tiptronic!

[halik]

I got an awesome deal on 3 spoke steering wheel form an s6 that comes with tiptronic buttons and I finally got some free time to install it. I still need to wire in a timed relay to be able to be able to switch to top on demand

I don't understand the point of doing that but good luck!

I can shift with the buttons on the steering wheel.

That is a lot of work for a relatively useless feature.

That pretty much sums up tiptronic actually.

I really miss the days when swapping a steering wheel meant 10 minutes and a socket wrench.

looks good - but wow, that looks like a lot of work to change a steering wheel.

Holy moly that looks like a ton of work! I put an M3 steering wheel in my 330i and that took about 40 minutes because I had to pull the airbag, and that was enough of a hassle for me.

But now it adds the excitement of trying to make sure you don't detonate a land mine in your face!

I've wanted to put the TSX or TL steering wheel onto my car... but its not worth the cost

Well actually changing the wheel is pretty trivial, I had to tear down the dash to run the new wiring for the tiptronic buttons...
