I know this has comeup before,I did a search and can't find it. I have a 2008 with Tip. I HATE where the buttons are on the steering wheel. I hit them by accident allot. So.... Can I put a Techart wheel with paddles on W/O too much hassel? Or is there another company that makes a wheel and paddles that will fit?

 

if you accidentally hit the buttons a lot, you'll hit the paddles by accident too. button is smaller than the paddles.

 

The way I hold the wheel, I have to constantly remind myself they are there, otherwise my thumbs hit them. Don't think it will be the same with paddles. Plus I like the look of paddles better.

 

Time for a manual!lol

 

There are two paddle shifter conversions. I went with TechArt. If you do a search you can see what others had to say about their choice conversions. Hopes this answers your question.

if u think u hate tip, wait till u try PDK, i truly hate pdk

 

Thanks Nalukane. The info is very helpful.

 

the one for pdk won't work for tiptronic. you are still down to TA

FWIW, paddles that are attached to steering wheels are not good at all. when you turn the wheel a lot such as exiting a parking lot, you won't know where the paddles are. since tip doesn't have a shifter you can use to +/-, you are SOL until you straighten the car out. this can be dangerous on street (exiting parking lot) and track (exiting hairpins)

also, small paddles are annoying. on the F360 and M3, i upgraded to alum ones that are bigger.

not dissuading your decision but just giving you some data points on what to expect.

 

Thanks djantlive never thought of that!
