The angle that the paddles are installed may look strange in the photo but it works beautifully with a little curvature that hooks on to the fingertip.
Leading evidence: 'Install may look strange in the photo' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust voltage' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
Did you need to adjust the voltage with the circuit or just tapped into the existing switch loom?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

NEED THEM RIGHT NOW!.
TAKE THEM OFF AND GIVE THEM TO ME!.
Thats where the idiot at P should have put them in the first place
Every time I look at my wheel I think what a D***.
I reckon whoever it was cycled to the Stuttgart factory every day.
Who drives at 2:45?
My question is can this be done with a couple of micro switches and some paddles.
Are the original buttons just intermittent N/O micro switches?
I have asked this many times before and never got an answer.
If they are just switches this mod will be a piece of cake!.
any clarification?.
perrycarrera4 is out driving his new paddles and has not come back yet!.
They have the wrong angle for a 996 steering wheel. I had a set and held them up to my 3-spoke wheel and discovered that the Porsche wheels have a much steeper mounting angle than the MB wheels. No luck there. The MB product is a really high quality shifter, BTW.
Well I got bored of the stupid Porsche design and put it right too.
so made my own

But I don't think there is a slip ring with enough connections.
I know I gave up! But in some ways that was good because I made my own and mine match the interior!.
Like I said I really disagree with previous opinions and reckon the Amg ones would fit.
Possibly the Audi TT paddles too ,But they are quite wide.
To mount the paddles, we had to drill holes through leather and plastic. We probed the backside where paddles would be mounted with a needle to make sure there are no structural parts in the way. Once we mounted the paddles, the steering wheel was put back in place. Figured out which Tiptronic wires were for up/down shifts, then tapped on to them. Tiptronic buttons were not disconnected and are still functioning. They can easily be disconnected at any time. Strangely, using paddles forces hands to stay on the rim. I have not touched the Tiptronic buttons accidentally since the paddles were installed, hence no reason to disconnect. There is plenty of clearance in the back between the paddles and stalks. The angle that the paddles are installed may look strange in the photo but it works beautifully with a little curvature that hooks on to the fingertip.
The entire mod took us about 45 min. Any competent mechanic should be able to do it. I would do this again if I get another 996.
If you are interested, send me a message and I'll give you more details on the paddles.
Has anybody been informed what these paddle shifters were off ? I've sent a PM but no reply and wondered if anybody had got an answer as to what the shifters were from ?
Did you need to adjust the voltage with the circuit or just tapped into the existing switch loom? i am at the stage of fitting my own MOMO prototipo paddle setup, and read somewhere that a resisitor in line is required?
