retro fit paddle shift steering wheel to DSG!

[Live in Hope]

HI everyone,

Can you put a multi function steering wheel with paddles on a car that has DSG and get the paddles to work the gear shift?

Has anyone done this?

Any help greatly appriciated

if the cars already dsg, you shouldnt have a problem, just plugs, maybe some vag com,

if the cars a manual, then no, as far as i know, theres way to much to do, e.g. a dsg gear box etc

Car is a 2.0 td DSG sport.

It can be done but you'll probably need to change some parts and "vcds" the new wheel.

I have an 05 plate DSG and according to my local dealer a retro fit is not possible as the car rolled off the production line with different wiring from that of a factory fitted paddle shift steering wheel.

However, if anyone knows of a dealer who can perform this change I would love to know.

This post although not steering wheel with paddles specific will give you some idea on what's involved and the steering wheel controller number required.

to: live in hope, I really wouldn't bother.  its a fun option, but I've hardly used mine in 3 years, so considering the time/hassle/money to retro fit, its personally not worth it.
get a engine mod or something to give you more power, money better spent in my opinion.
