mercedes c350 shift paddle retrofit
hello all today I install a set of c63 shift paddles into my c350 2008 with sport package but with out shift paddles, so here is my problem, I did all the installation and nothing happened so I took my car to the dealer for programming, and when I picked up my car today they told me it cant be done they explain to me that if my car was not equipped with paddles it cant be retro fit. so my question is can it be done? because Ive read that it can but I dont know how
cheers

There are 2 important parts.
- steering spiral has to be compatible.
- programming the transmission takes place after the option code is added to your vehicle datacard.
The dealer must instruct the software to add option code 428 to your car and then after it has been accepted they must replace the spiral and then also flash the transmission software.
It should work provided that your main component in the steering wheel is year compatible to your car.
