Evening , apols if it's been covered before. I'm thinking about pulling trigger on an RS6. Spec is close to what I want but no FBSW. Is it possible to change normal round one for FBSW?
Thanks

I thought all RS6 C7 were FBSW ??? Why would you need a heated SW ????

If heated steering wheel chosen as option then it would be a completely round wheel.

Yeah they made us choose between flat bottom or round and heated.
As much as I hate the look of the round wheel there are a few people on here with the round heated one and think it is amazing so maybe give it a go before changing it.
But I think it's a straight swap although new steering wheels are not cheap. Maybe a bit of coding with
VCDS might be needed.

Hand in your man card if you go round and heated.
FB wheel for the win

I have the round heated steering wheel on mine. Wasn't on my wish list but I've got rather used to it. Surprisingly I used it quite a lot over Winter. My only comment is that the materials aren't a patch on the FB wheel. More like something from a S-line than a RS product.
