2012 Steering Wheel
Ordered it, received it,
Now how do you remove the switches? Its not built the same as the older models with one screw to remove. What am I missing here?
Thanks

Thanks folks,
I figured it out. Its a post and glue for the black part and 2 star screws for the button ones while the third is a post friction fit for the bottom.
3LZZ06,
I am painting the chrome parts to match the threads (yellow) and style for the interior. There was a thread on this last month.

Finally an inexpensive, classy solution for the '06-'11 "Malibu" steering wheels.
I'm ordering one today...

So did I 
but... I only found a manual wheel with red stitching, I have an '07 A6. I did this same switch once with a 2011 manual wheel without any problem. Can I put my paddles on the new '12 manual wheel?
Also, I dont have wheel control capabilities (need new clockspring) is there a solid spoke cap to replace with?

I need to know if the back of the new wheel is the same so I can put on my paddles.

Thanks, but, Im using an '11 wheel (old style) with paddles now. The '11 came with audio and Bluetooth, I couldnt use either without a whole new clockspring, so I ditched the button and put my solid caps on.
I need to know if the back of the new wheel is the same so I can put on my paddles.

Looks pretty much the same from my minds eye.

Nope, I bought an '11 wheel with BT and Audio Controls for my '07 (which had no wheel controls). I brought it to Sound Advice to install with the ASWC Interface to use with my Pioneer. It did not work due to the clockspring.
