Plz, understand the typo of the title. Several trials and errors, I was able to make it. It seems easy first, but you need some skills to cross stitch. I learned it through video clips. To accent the knob, I've selected a reddish brown genuine leather for $10.
It's very cheap but very satisfactory.

Maybe steering wheel? It looks too expensive, though.

RS steering wheels are not heated nor is there any way to make them so (via clock spring...). Only way is to scavenge one from a Q7, definitely not the same.

One of the several pet peeves I have about my 2015 RS5: No folding mirrors, seats are not Recaros, no heated steering wheel, not impressed with the eigenfrequency tpms system, lack of instrument data readouts (already installed a P3 gauge with mods)...

but 7 speed DSG, 450hp naturally aspirated V8 revs to 8,500rpm, superb MMI, Google Earth, hotspot...not to mention the looks; that I like!
