Audi A3 8V paddle shift steering wheel retrofit package

Significantly upgrade your AUDI A3 8V with the original steering wheel gearshift / shift paddles.

We supply you with the complete package suitable for retrofitting the Tiptronic function (= shift paddles) on the steering wheel, depending on your model.

The product images show example steering wheels with Tiptronic / shift paddles!

We supply the steering wheel that fits your vehicle.

Based on the chassis number entered during the ordering process, we supply the identical steering wheel (flattened at the bottom / not flattened at the bottom, 3- or 4-spoke steering wheel, seam color, leather color, airbag mount, etc.) as currently installed, only with additional shift paddles.

If you would like a different variant than the one currently installed (e.g. a steering wheel with a flattened bottom if a 3-spoke sports steering wheel is already installed), please let us know your request IMMEDIATELY in the message field during the ordering process. A later change after the order has been processed and a return are NOT possible.

After briefly plugging it into the very easily accessible OBD diagnostic interface in the driver's footwell, the KECODI coding interface supplied here completes the automatic activation of the shift paddles with the help of the innovative KECODI that is already preset for you.

Scope of delivery:

• - 1x original AUDI A3 8V steering wheel with shift paddles (depending on model)
• - 1x KECODI interface
• - 1x KECODI interface storage case
• - 1x installation instructions (German)

Installation time: approx. 1 hour

Please provide the chassis number during the ordering process

To convert a 4-spoke steering wheel to a 3-spoke steering wheel, for example, you will also need the appropriate airbag - unfortunately, we do NOT carry out such conversions as we do not make any changes to airbag systems.
