Re-using airbag?

[SeanyK]

Hey folks,

Just out of curiosity, if I bought an R32 DSG wheel, when taking my existing GTI wheel off (which is exactly the same bar the DSG paddles the R32 one has).

Could I use the airbag that I currently have? Or would I need to buy one specific to that wheel? (Do DSG paddled steering wheels have different airbags?)

same airbag, so just reuse the one you have

Just in case anyone else is thinking of doing this, you do need a new cable connector for old air bags.
Not tooooo expensive dealer part.
