Audi A4 B8 - How to install and activate F1 paddle shifters steering wheel

Рет қаралды 126,988

6 жыл бұрын

The correct steering wheel with paddles for my car is 8T0 419 091 B WUL.
My airbag is 8K0 880 201 E 6PS.
My airbag cable harness is 8K0 971 589 A.
My original steering wheel was 8T0 419 091 A WUL.
The steering wheel that did not fit my car was 8R0 419 091 G WUL. Normally this is not an A4 part, but it seems some cars came fitted with this one, but mine did not, so I had to resell it and buy the correct one.
My car did not accept the coding for the gearbox, it only accepted the one for the steering wheel, but the paddles are still working perfect.

hey, good tutorial but do you always have to shift with the pedals or is it only when it is in manual mode.

@UltimateDIY 3 жыл бұрын

You can always use them to shift, even when in D, but the car will also shift itself if you don't do it. When in M the car will only shift itself when over or under reving, the rest you do with the paddles.

Thank you very much, I had to do it twice, ( the battery negative disconnect ) and first time was exactly the clock and date only, but the second time for some reason I lost the one click open window from the drivers door buttons. Essentially it is all fixed with a window switch reprogramming. which is only : Hold the window button down for 10 sec. Hold the window button Up for another 10sc. and all good. And the feature is back online. Cheers

Hi There, I have exactly the same situation here with my B8 avant - I bought a steering wheel with F1 paddle shifters, and my old steering wheel has all the other commands, except for the paddles. Should I also change the clock spring / steering angle sensor so the paddles can be activated? Or is it enough to activate them through VCDS?
