I've been looking for this video for months and finally found it, I have the same car as u do and always wanted to know if a could put paddle shifters into it, this video has been really helpful, thanks a lot

Yes sirr now is just a matter of finding who has a steering wheel for sell lol

Hey brother I'm back just to make sure you got the buttoms form the a6 right?

@brotherswan Жыл бұрын

Yea paddles from the A6

Dang can’t wait to do this! What did the paddle shifter wires connect to? Thanks for the video brotha 🙏

@brotherswan Жыл бұрын

The steering wheel has oem paddle connectors inside the wheel so once you get the paddles installed you can just clip them into place!

Hey man, great video just wanting to do the same in my TDI, I've noticed the buttons that you use were the a6 ones, bc the a3 ones didn't have the conector to plug the paddles, or did you just use the buttons fron the a3, and only the paddles from the a6??

@brotherswan Жыл бұрын

Yea the paddles are from the A6 that’s the only thing i used from the a6 steering wheel. It might be cheaper if you buy the entire a6 wheel without the airbag. But you may get lucky enough to grab the paddles alone at a junk yard or something

@isaaclopez-garcia9357 Жыл бұрын

So would be the same as if I had an s3 steering wheel with the paddle shifters and replaced it with my current one, the paddles would function right away no wiring needed?

@brotherswan Жыл бұрын

If you have an s3 wheel it should just bolt right up without anything needed. Depends on the year tho

Hello. So basically if I buy oem paddle shifters I can cut holes behind my steering wheel and just add them? I noticed the only thing you swapped were the shifters?

@brotherswan 3 ай бұрын

Yessir that’s correct. Depends on the year tho. Later ones i heard have to be coded

@mcmillion40 9 ай бұрын

So I'm following your video step by step. My steering wheel is stock as well. Where did you get the screws for the paddle shifters? Did they come stock on the wheel or did you pull them off the other steering wheel?

@brotherswan 9 ай бұрын

I just used the screws from the factory A6 wheel but any screw with the same thread pitch would work

Hi, is your car a 2.0? I have a 1.8 and my dam controls have no paddle plugs. Im just wondering if I need to get some used off of a 2.0 to have paddles.

@@brotherswan will definitely look into this! I saw you said you got this wheel for like $77 so that’s worth it even for just the bracket and shifters lol. Was cutting out the spaces for them a pain?

Not really it’s just foam so once you cut out the thin leather you can pretty much scrape out the foam with your fingers

Not sure on the serial number or part number. I just know they’re from a 2015 A6 so pretty much the same gen as the A3
