Default Tip wheel to maual wheel

Can a manual wheel be installed on a tiptronic car without too much of a problem? I would rather just use the floor shifter plus I don't like the look of the buttons.

I don’t see why not. You’ll just lose shifting functionality.

Same same. Easy swap and looks much better (IMHO) than the stock one with the shifters on the wheel. On my prior tiptronic I would occasionally hit the button and sent the RPMs sky high. I also only used the console shifter for shifting.

Also, I swapped out the shifter plate for a boot. Loved the look.

Hi dtortoise9,
I would not change out the wheel simply because you don't use/like the Tiptronic switches. If you must, save the original for the next owner of your car.
