Guys I installed a MSport wheel with paddles sometime ago but have never managed to get the paddles to work. Now this did not bother me as I always manually changed using the gearstick anyway.

However , the more I have thought about it , the more it is beginning to bug me. Why don't they work is it a coding issue ?

what SE steering wheel did you have first? the big ugly weird shape one or the one which looks really similar to m sport.

i think it may be your MFSW buttons. if your using M Sport ones it might not work as this is what happened with M3 wheel when i put it in mine.

others will be able to confirm though for defo soon.

Hey Raj cant even remember what my old SE one looked like!

[Sparky68]

Found the old SE wheel in the shed

Do the buttons work and do you have a m button?

[Sparky68]

All buttons work mate , volume up , down etc just the paddles dont work

Did your old steering wheel have paddles?

[dy63]

if your old wheel had paddles try taking the MFSW buttons from the SE wheel and using them in your M Sport

OK will try that

Are they plugged in?

I know having changed the wheel in mine a couple of times as long as the everything is plugged in correctly they have worked fine (inc. SE push/pull paddles and DCT ones). As above if the buttons are from an M3 and has the M button in place then that will not work.

Yeh all plugged in mate, maybe worth getting another set of paddles?

[dy63]

Have you tried using the SE steering wheel buttons on your m sport wheel

Swap the buttons over and see. Are the paddles the ones off your SE wheel and if so did they work ok then?

[jammy78]

The guys are right.... you'll need to use your old buttons!

Mark,

If you don't have any success:
Is your M Sport wheel from a late 2010 onwards car?
The paddles changed then from the push/pull to pull only, and the paddle electronics changed from just being a discrete switch to switches and pull-up resistors. This means that there are less wires to connect, although the plugs are the same. It could be that if the wheel is a late one, the wires just aren't there.

Just guessing though

Mike

Hey Mike hows things ?

Will have a look over the weekend and get a shot of both wheels side by side

Still resisting the lure of the re-map!

Seem to spend more time towing with the dog carrier than solo these days, but it's more of a rush when I do drive solo.
Went to mid-Wales with the caravan a fortnight ago. 27-ish to the gallon on the way towing. 30-ish to the gallon on the way back solo. Love some of those Welsh roads! Four days later, the reverse trip, with an overall of a more normal 33 to the gallon. My son is on his first season of rallying a Freelander (very grass roots!), with me screaming in the passenger seat as co-driver. No wonder I am going greyer!
See you around sometime

Mike
