Is it indeed an S8 wheel? they normally have contrasting stitching?

What did you replace it with?

if fitted to an A8 with no paddles currently, would the car pick up the paddles ? or is there more involved in swapping wheels ?
Thx

I had no paddles on the D3 I drive every day when I got it which almost drove me mad. Changed the wheel to a 3 spoke sports wheel with paddles and all works fine so I would think yes! Maybe just some coding?

Thanks MA8tey - My wife has a Q7 with the paddles and i use them a lot (its a heavy beast).
My 8's been remapped so its more responsive than standard, but i still prefer to be in the right gear (or at least have some control of gears) rather than relying on the torque in higher gears to pull me along

I bought an A5 sports wheel from here as a mod.
It's definitely off of my facelift S8

My understanding is that it should swap over as its mechanically different in activation (paddles rather than switches) but it's still a straight up or down signal to the box
