Default Steering Wheel compatabilty help needed...

I have a 2015 Z51 M7 with a round steering wheel which I want to replace with a flat bottom steering wheel. I found a 2016 flat bottom steering wheel for sale but do not know if it is compatible. Has anyone switched out a Manual C7 steering wheel with an automatic steering wheel?

I have. No issues with compatibility. You'll just need to swap the + and - paddles with your rev match paddles

Thanks as I was worried there would be some difference in the electronics if I swapped the paddles.

Any idea on cost?
Our 2017 2LT A8 has the optional suede seats (excellent), suede sun visors (who cares?) and flat-bottom (ugh) suede steering wheel that feels like I'm fondling a small rodent. Considering trying to get the round leather version but suspect it would be expensive.
