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

[@UltimateDIY]

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.

Salut poți sa îmi dai un număr de whatssap as fi interesat pentru un A5 dacă ai putea sa îmi faci

[@UltimateDIY]

Salut. Nu ma ocup de asa ceva. Fac doar pentru mine.

[@Lucianoancuta]

Salut, știu ca e o postare mai veche, dar poate am noroc și îmi răspunzi. Am achiziționat și eu un volan, ca al tău. Din păcate a venit " chel" și a trebuit sa fac rost de airbag, comenzi volan și padele. Totul bine și frumos, pana la padele. Comenzile mele de pe volan nu sunt prevazute pt conectare padele. Am cautat tot internetul. Poate ai putea sa îmi dai un sfat, sau un număr de piesă. Mulțumesc frumos și te urmăresc cu drag

[@UltimateDIY]

Salut. Din pacate nu stiu sa te ajut. Toate informatiile pe care le am sunt deja in video.

[@club420god]

great video! inspired me to buy steering wheels with paddle shift and installed one on mine just today. now waiting for my vagcom so that i could activate it when it arrives.

[@UltimateDIY]

Awesome 👍🏼

[@benjaminhernandez698]

Great video. I think they should have came with padel shifters in the first place. It makes no sense that the gti comes with them and not audi.

[@UltimateDIY]

Thanks. They want to get more money by selling it as an option.

[@ErnestEdip]

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?

[@UltimateDIY]

Hi there. For me it was the same situation and the activation was enough to make it work.

[@ErnestEdip]

@@UltimateDIY thank you ☺️

[@UltimateDIY]

Welcome!

[@giannivangoethem6024]

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

[@UltimateDIY]

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.

[@allanj.p3663]

Hey i just got a steering wheel from the S4 same year car is a 2011 audi b8 and with just doing the programming it should work?

[@UltimateDIY]

In theory yes, but until you do it, you never know.

[@mechatronicha5291]

hi bro i have problem with paddles shiffters for audi s5 not activated i try make it with ODIS but i cannit do it You can help plz

[@UltimateDIY]

Hi. Sorry, but I don't even know what ODIS is.

[@mechatronicha5291]

odis meaning offboard diagnostic information system is an software for diagnostic and programming online

[@UltimateDIY]

Ok, I understand, but I have 0 experience with it, so can't really help.

[@mechatronicha5291]

ok thanks you think this paddele shiffters can be broken because this customer he said before its working after he make accident he change box steringe after that paddales shiffters not working i try read live data i find it not activate I try to activate but i no find this option when i make coding i find in stering wheel only add stering wheel vibration and stering heater but i no find paddales shiffters

[@UltimateDIY]

It's quite inpossible to guess what got damaged in the accident, but if you are unable to make them work whatever you try, they might be brocken indeed.

[@kameronkennedy9025]

Thank you for this video. Do you know if this would work for replacing 3 spoke steering wheel on a 4 spoke steering wheel?

[@UltimateDIY]

Yes, as far as I know it's possible.

[@danielcraciun8914]

Salut ,am un a4 b8 2008 manual cu volan in 4 spițe. Pot pune un volan de b8.5 ? Are la fel comenzile ,doar ca are si padele. Mersi

[@UltimateDIY]

Salut. Din pacate legat de cele in 4 spite nu am nici un fel de experienta.

[@oibrahimo1689]

Nice tutorial, this would be the same for an audi a3 2015 that it doesn’t come with shiffters ? I heard some that is just plug and play

[@UltimateDIY]

Might be the same. I know it's the same for the Q5.

[@oibrahimo1689]

@@UltimateDIY oh ok so if i buy a custom steering wheel with paddles installed already all i have to do is replace it on my car and it should work?

[@UltimateDIY]

@@oibrahimo1689 make sure your airbag fits the new steering wheel first. Then you need to install it and make the coding in the car systems.

[@Brikzilla]

Would this work for a 2012 Audi A6 3.0T? It has a 7 speed S Tronic? I know the prestige trim has paddles but I got the premium plus which doesn’t..

[@UltimateDIY]

I think it should be a similar process.

[@Brikzilla]

Ultimate DIY thanks for the reply but just found out it’s an 8 speed tiptronic transmission, is it still the same process?

[@UltimateDIY]

@@Brikzilla the codding might be a bit different, but the rest should be quite similar.

[@Truevibe]

hi, thank you for your video! i have a question; did you take apart your old steering wheel? because i think that all audi steering wheels have a connector input for paddles behind the command buttons on your steering wheel.. Can you confirm this?

[@UltimateDIY]

Hi. Thank you for watching. I did not take apart the old one, as I have sold it, so can't confirm this.

[@Boban_41]

Hi man, did you figure out? Does all mfsw buttons have connector for f1 paddles?

[@Truevibe]

@@Boban_41 i wouldn’t know sorry. I went and bought a second hand steering wheel that had them on it. So i replaced the whole steering wheel and it didn’t need any coding. It worked right away. Car: audi a5 B8.5

[@Cojanu.Ionut-Catalin]

Sti sa programez si tempomatul? Amea nu are de loc, i am cumparat maneta tempomat dar nu stiu sa il programez... Multumesc

[@UltimateDIY]

Din pacate nu stiu. A mea avea deja, asa ca nu a fost nevoie sa invat sa fac si asta.

[@mackym5454]

Hi, can i do swap like this one, steering wheel from audi A4 b8 to Q7 2007. ?

[@UltimateDIY]

Hi. I don't know.

[@Boban_41]

Where are cables of paddles connected? I bought buttons for my steering wheel, when i installed them now i dont know where to connect F1 paddles..

[@UltimateDIY]

Sorry, but I don't know exactlt the details of the cables. This is why I bought a new steering wheel with paddles already on it.

[@UltimateDIY]

Salut. Am cutie DSG. Tot timpul au aparut. Daca ai CVT, acolo nu exista trepte propriu-zise.

[@cosmin686]

@@UltimateDIY din ce an e audi?nu am auzit de dsg pe audi,de aia intreb......ms

[@UltimateDIY]

O gramada de modele au DSG. Problema e ca Audi le numeste pe toate S-tronic, asa ca e greu de stiut la prima vedere ce cutie e. Eu am motorizarea de 2L benzina si quattro. Masina e din 2010.

[@jasonkissa3696]

You said that in the end the computer didn’t accept the code so would I even have to get vcds for it to work ? Thx

[@UltimateDIY]

Yes, you need vcds. It did not accept ALL the coding, but part of it was accepted. Without vcds it would not work.

[@nikolasimeonov4518]

Can you tell me, was there any settings lost after you disconnected the Negative of the battery? Or it was all fine ? Thank you.

[@UltimateDIY]

In my case, nothing lost. Well, almost nothing, because the clock had to be reset, but that is about it.

[@nikolasimeonov4518]

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

[@UltimateDIY]

Glad you got it solved :)

[@lukakovacevic6771]

Could you add paddle shifters to passat b7 1.6tdi automatic, could you buy a 2.0 wheel with paddles and just code it????

[@UltimateDIY]

I don't know.

[@leo4870]

I rotate the coil during the removal process what should I do the wheel is crooked

[@UltimateDIY]

I do not know this.

[@ahmedtawfeeq7995]

im ab to buy a 09 a4 quattro with no paddle shifters, can i still add them?

[@UltimateDIY]

I will ask the obvious, is it an automatic? If it is, you can probably add them.

[@BarelyLegacy_Legacy]

Does this work on the 8 speed ZF8 transmission??

[@UltimateDIY]

I don't know.

[@13Rajmund]

Does this work with any car from VAG that has DSG transmission ? I will buy a Golf V 2.0 TDI in the upcoming months with DSG transmission. Is it possible to install paddle shifters for that car as well ?

[@UltimateDIY]

I do not know that. You need to search on forums for this information.

[@iulianmarius5488]

De ce nu a mers primul volan??ce era dif fata de al tau? Si cu volan ai pus la final? Adica de a4,a3,a5

[@UltimateDIY]

Era alta prindere la airbag. Nu conteaza ce model e, dar sa fie prinderea cum are al tau, ca sa poti reutiliza airbag-ul.

[@jasonkissa3696]

Hey does anyone know if this will work on a b7 since there are b7 models that do have it

[@tamaserdi5426]

Hello. Do you absolutely have to change the steering wheel, or is it possible to just install the paddles to your original one? Thanks

[@UltimateDIY]

Hello. Check on the back of yours if you have any covers where the buttons would go. But, even if you have, you would need all the cables and route them correctly. Just does not make sense.

[@AXIOMGAMES]

Salut, pentru un A5 2010 ar merge oare aceeasi procedura? 🤔🤔 De pe ce masina ai luat volanul cu padele?

[@UltimateDIY]

Salut. Au trecut cativa ani si nu mai stiu exact. Oricum, merg toate intre ele in generatia aia. Tot ce conteaza e sa ti se potriveasca airbag-ul tau in volanul nou. Si de asta iti poti da seama doar dupa ce iti desfaci volanul sa vezi prinderile.

[@AXIOMGAMES]

@@UltimateDIY daca iau un volan complet (airbag+volan cu padele) de pe un A4 B7, n ar trb sa am probleme, nu?

[@UltimateDIY]

Teoretic nu, dar tine cont sa fie airbag dual sau single stage, exact cum ai deja pe masina. Dar nu cumpara ceva doar pentru ca iti spun eu ca probabil merge. Nu am nici pe departe experienta necesara la schimbat de volane.

[@DkPlayz]

How much does this steering wheel cost?

[@UltimateDIY]

I have no clue. It has been a few years and depends on your location.

[@DkPlayz]

@@UltimateDIY so I got a question this steering wheel came with the paddles all you did was code it and the paddle shifters activated and work?

[@UltimateDIY]

Yup, exactly. But make sure you get the right steering wheel. It needs to have/not have buttons, the right airbag shape and fixing elements. Basically, it needs to be identical to yours+paddles.

[@DkPlayz]

@@UltimateDIY Alright and with the coding you can get on any laptop or computer and do it from there and code it?

[@UltimateDIY]

You need a VCDS interface and any laptop with a usb port.

[@dannyh024]

do you know if is working also in a multitronic transmition ?

[@UltimateDIY]

Should be the same thing. I do not think they have different steering wheels for different gearboxes.

[@BarrioHoncho]

will this work on a a4 b7

[@UltimateDIY]

I have no idea.

[@rumruumm]

Did you find out if someone knows how to do this with Obd11??

[@MotoMario1]

@@rumruumm VCDS is the right way to go if you want to change specific codings. OBD11 Just changes random things because it is for so many cars and has to be easy.

[@MVOVlogs]

Iti funcționează fara codare? Fara sa codezi cutiaa sau ceva de genul?

[@UltimateDIY]

Da, functioneaza. Dupa cum se vede in video, nu mi-a acceptat una dintre codari, dar totusi functioneaza normal.

[@MVOVlogs]

Eu daca as pune volan cu padele a functiona fara codare? Am tempomat,comenzi, tot,dar nu am padele.

[@UltimateDIY]

Trebuie sa faci cel putin prima parte a codarii ca si in video. Fara codare deloc, nu functioneaza.
