Default Airbag Clockspring Question??

What's up folks! I need to replace my airbag clock spring and need a little help from all of the experienced members in here... I have a 07 Z51, A6 so my steering wheel has the audio controls and the paddle shifters. After some research I determined that the RPO (UK3) is for the steering wheel audio controls, but see no mention of an RPO for the paddle shifter enabled clock spring. Are they combined?

I keep coming to this GM Part Number..19153097 which is for the clockspring. Does anyone know if only the audio controls pass thru the clock spring, hence (UK3) and the paddle shifter wires are separate and plug in another location on the steering collulm?

Wanted to make sure I order the correct part before I remove the steering wheel...Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not positive. I have had the steering wheel off to replace with a new one. I do have paddle shifters, and I believe they are part of the clockspring wiring.
I've attached a thread that may give you some insight. Look at post # 64 of that thread. I think that tells you what you want to know.

Call your local GM dealer with the last 8 of your V.I.N. and they should help you with a correct part number.
