The communication with the seller is great, he offered me a refund if my CF paddles don't work in any ways.. I just have to return them to him for a refund.
I will let my friend who works for a dealership bodyshop do the install so he will figure out the wiring.

Small update.
Took my car to a Bodyshop this morning to fit my replica Wald trunk spoiler.
Decided to flick it into manual mode, and use the shifter to change gears.
Worked fine.
Tried the carbon shifters again, no deal.
Only job left will be testing the OEM shifters with the carbon electronics. If that works, must be an issue with the carbon shifters themselves.
Hopefully get some time to try it this coming weekend.
Will report back when I do.

Hope u get it sorted out, my wheel w/paddles should be shipping this week. I will let my bodyshop guy looked into the wiring as the seller is confident the CF paddles should work with the oem connectors.

You know what could be interesting to try... one side CF and the other side non CF. lol, I know it sounds funny, but it could be interesting!

Looks really sweet!
So you're carbon paddles are working properly?
Still haven't had time to have another try with mine.
Almost done with the DIY at the house though, so should have a bit more free time soon!
Love what you've done though mate. Looks very nice indeed!
Enjoy!!

Hi Peter, thx for the compliment... yes I reuse the OEM connectors with the CF paddles & they work nicely. I didn't try using the aftermarket connectors so I don't know if that combo would work.
Are you OEM paddles still not working?
