facelift a3 paddle shifter HELP

[luisestrada1]

First off wondering if someone with a 2018 a3/s3 can post the coding to their steering colum (16).
I purchased a custom steering wheel with oem paddle shifters, I havent been able to find coding or anything online for this, they don't work and the left side doesnt light up anymore. I have seen pre facelift install with no issues/coding. Has anyone done this/ can it be done? Ive gone through all the wiring diagrams and see no difference between a tiptronic from factory. They should just plug and play.

They changed ECM’s on the facelift models and upgrading wheels is no longer plug and play. You need a dealer to code it in

I work at VW, I tried using ODIS just not sure what needs to be changed/coded, unfortunately some of the coding is blocked on there so I tried with OBD eleven but found nothing that supports paddle shifting

Just chased more diagrams and found 2018 for sale took vin from that and found coding for steering column is identical, not sure where else to look at this point.

I had that problem when i retrofitted a FL Steeringwheel in my pFL,there are two different Indexes of the partnumber for the switches,one is for tiptronic the other isnt.I bought 8W0 951 523 F,Index E doesn't support tiptronic.

I just ordered that part number because the left side stopped lighting up, it’s weird because on the Audi website it says for vehicles w/o tiptronic, I’ll try out the buttons and see if it works
