In this video tutorial, you can see how to install multifunction steering wheel controls and Tiptronic paddles in an AUDI A3 that lacks steering wheel controls. First, get inside the car and start the engine, then turn the steering wheel 90°. Now, disengage the airbag using a lever behind the steering wheel, then turn the steering wheel to the right, opposite to the previous position (also 90°). Now, disengage the airbag on the other side and remove the airbag, then disconnect the airbag connector.

Next, remove the steering wheel from its position. You can then install the steering wheel controls, disengaging the trim ring first.
