Just tried it myself and ordered the same product this guy used. Worked like a charm.

Did the volume buttons still work okay?

[@Wizzhavingjit]

Question does your bottoms work too??

[@Beastmode23564]

I have a 2011 328i, what year sterring wheel and model would be best?

[@Shihdhaj]

Can I do this with my 2007 bmw 328xi?

[@PistonPlay]

Yes

[@tonikaramanliev884]

Question - after i retrofit them paddle shifters, can i perhaps get any of the modern paddles and change them? Will it work? Talking about them magnetic ones, or any just prettier looking ones? Thanks

[@AN3CCAHNPO]

No because you need other buttons on the steering wheel.

[@tonikaramanliev884]

@@AN3CCAHNPO gotcha, thanks a lot brother

[@Shihdhaj]

What is the difference from this wiring harness and the one with 4 wires?

[@PistonPlay]

You can only use two wires. You only need to so pick two colors and connect those two.

[@kianNation]

Heyyy, I bought a different one and mine came with four wires - black & white and yellow and red

[@PistonPlay]

You only need to use two wires out of it. You can’t use all four. So pick two colors and use it.

[@AN3CCAHNPO]

You need to change it with a cable with two wires.

[@vienprimovlog3074]

Hello, my clock spring under the steering wheel is lacking the pin for 2&4 but the socket has complete wires. Is it same to you? I just ordered the upper clock spring because why steering wheel has no controls so the socket is empty and no pin thats why i order the one that has controls connections. Thanks for the reply.

[@AN3CCAHNPO]

You mean there are no cables in it or they just don't exist in the pin connector?

[@seanloucks4506]

where did you get the cable from?

@@PistonPlay thank you

[@Shihdhaj]

My pins are orange and green and all green. Where should I put them?

[@PistonPlay]

You bought that way from Amazon right

[@Shihdhaj]

@@PistonPlay no I actually got it from eBay.

[@Shihdhaj]

@@PistonPlay do you have any idea where they go?

[@AN3CCAHNPO]

Doesn't matter if you don't care what side you want up shift or down shift. Original in front is down shift and on the back is up shift.

[@AN3CCAHNPO]

And you don't have to take of your steering wheel and airbag to take of the clockspring cover.

[@AN3CCAHNPO]

You don't have to take off your steering wheel and airbag to take of the clockspring cover. It will save you a lot of time.
