    Hello All,

    My 2008 Lux did not come with Paddle Shifters and I want to add them. I have been on the hunt for an EOS Steering Wheel that already has them but haven't had much luck. I know that I can add them and them have them programmed by my dealer to work (so I've heard anyway). Does anyone on here have a lead to an EOS Wheels with paddles? I don't want some crazy rare Euro wheel or anything, just the regular EOS wheel.




    * I know many of you will comment that the paddles are useless and that you never use them. That's all fine and good but I want them and will use them. I use them often on my BMW and know I would do the same with the EOS.

    Another question, can I just buy the Paddles units and attach them to my existing wheel?

    Nope, you have to buy the whole steering wheel. There are a few options out there; the same wheel that you have with paddles, or you can get the GTI version which has the flat bottom, perforations and paddles.

    I found these, the whole module, wires/plugs and paddles. Can I make it work with these? I know my steering wheel has caps on the rear that I can remove to install these. What do ya' think?
