Euro Wheel Installed
Install was simple. Really just plug and play (except for recoding). The wheel looks great. Size and thickness is way better than stock. I must say that the plastic flat bottom is pretty disappointing. It really cheapens the feel. The buttons are really pretty useless. I don't mind losing the hands-free of the stock wheel since I have never been able to successfully pair my phone anyway. But, unless I am wrong, all the other button funtions are already available on the WW Stalk.
A big shout-out and thank you to Henry (Boston Driver) who took time out from his Sunday morning to do the re-coding of the wheel.
The only problem I ran into was that the traction control light was coming on intermitently while driving. Henry tried to re-calibrate the steering sensor, but no luck. I read some posts that a few turns of the wheel to full lock left and then the right would auto correct the sensor. Well, that seemed to do it. I'll see what happens over the next few days. I hope it does not come back.

Great mod. Had the opportunity to drive another AW member's RS4 with this mod. Thicker wheel, S-button and lap timer controls right there, and spruces up the interior nicely. I'm definitely getting this soon.

The + and - buttons do not control the radio volume - they replace the buttons on the end of the wiper stalk.
The Set button replaces the button on the bottom of the wiper stalk.
Euro RS4s with the Euro RS4 wheel have a wiper stalk without buttons - since they're on the wheel.
The Euro RS4 wheeel is NOT a multi-function steering wheel with volume, channel and mode buttons.

I didn't change any codes - Euro car so it came with the Euro wheel.
You need to change the SCSM coding to 06xxx when you install the Euro wheel - at least that's how mine is coded (the Ross-Tech wiki doesn't show the coding for the RS4 wheel).
