Question Steering wheel and airbag question

Good morning everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to the NB so please don't slam me if this is common knowledge around here. I did search prior to posting.

I just picked up a used 2002 NB TDI that is in need of TLC. The previous owner removed the factory steering wheel and installed an aftermarket unit without an airbag. I want to go back to a factory unit with safety equipment.

Are steering wheels / airbags physically and electrically compatible or are there years (or models) I have to avoid? I'm even open to installing a wheel from any VW vehicle if I can find one from a Golf, Jetta, etc... That is if they will work.

Any input you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

any mk4 golf/jetta/beetle wheel will be a direct bolt-on. (99.5 - 2005 for golf/jetta)

Some higher end jetta and golfs came with wheels with steering wheel control buttons.. the buttons wont work on a beetle.
