Default Racing Steering Wheel

Does anybody know what steering wheel is on the AIM MXG ad? I am looking for a steering wheel with all of those buttons to eliminate the stalks on the steering wheel all together. Too many times where I've accidentally hit the turn signal or turned on the windshield wipers.

I've tried looking it up before and could not find it.
I suspect it may be a VW/Audi Motorsports part, since the same unit is used on the Leon Cup, R8 LMS, RS3 LMS, GTI TCR, etc.
(this GTI TCR tech sheet seems to confirm it is a VWMOSP part).
The actual steering wheel is an OMP unit.

According to this document -> GOLF GTI TCR, It's a VW Motorsport part. There are some contact details in the document for VW Motorsport people, so maybe one of them can point you in the right direction.

Wow that was quick! Thank you! Does anybody know of a universal solution? Manufacturer motorsport parts are crazy expensive. The M4 GT4 steering wheel is almost $4k all in.

A "universal solution" (inasmuch as it's synonymous with plug-and-play) likely doesn't exist. Depending on the car you are working with, its complexity, and what you actually want to control with it there may be several options.

Check out nwGTS's build thread (https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...l#post13501021) for two examples.

Did you do the installs yourself? ANy issues with the RF cutting out?

This seems ideal since it is hardwired but I am not sure I capable enough to pull it off. Very cool though!
