Is a golf R mk8 steering wheel an easy replacement?

[borat]

I’ve read conflicting info and suspect it’s not just model dependant but year dependant? I’ve got a 2024 t6.1 so the latest. I had thought initially it was a direct swap but then also read you have to tinker with the wiring. Do the paddles also work “OOTB” with an DSG van, or do they need coding? Any advice appreciated
