The right stalk can be exchanged for a flat one without trip buttons from a 'dumb' set. It's just three small screws and a little manual dexterity. Their switching and mechanical elements are the same.

Yeah but it depends on the type of steering setup you have...

The new type unofficially also has a replaceable arm. Unclip the thin ring, remove cover (3 x Torx 9), pull out the arm with the black counter part, and disconnect and replace the black cable. And just assembly with the new arm and wiring. The middle part and PCB panel, etc.  are the same for each type/config.
This is my old set, I quickly disassembled :

Hi guys, 

 

I read almost all topics on forum about retrofitting mk3 style steering wheel on mk2. I have 2006. BKD prefl mk2 without maxidot and my plan is to put MFSW steering wheel from Yeti/Rapid (5JA-419-091-T). I will take 1K0-953-549-CH steering wheel module with 5K0-953-569-H coil spring. My question is, can it be fitted with prefl maxidot or do I need fl maxidot and do I need additional wiring for airbag?
