I am not sure because I haven't gotten it working yet, but I had to re-wire the control chip. Someone told me the paddle shifter should work if you wired it up correctly.

Besides the red paddle covers, where did you get the silver ones? And did you remove your steering wheel and drill the holes to install the paddles just like in another forum post here? I know that for 2012+ (Facelift) the paddles are plug and play. Thanks.

Those are the non AMG paddles. Besides the premium feel and aluminum material of the AMG ones, they should be no different. Also AMG ones look more aggresive.

Do you think these https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Mer...rUpH:rk:4:pf:0

or these

https://www.ebay.com/itm/B558-W212-W...:pf:0#viTabs_0

will work?

These are the parts that show up on mboemparts.com when I searched for a 2014 C350.

Thank you. I ended up finding two almost-new ones in black on eBay and sniped them for $20 each. Now that's a deal.

It's much more complicated on the pre-facelift model because not only do codes have to be added but also the transmission has to be SCN-coded. Anyone can add option codes with a genuine or bootleg coding interface but SCN-coding has to be done through Xentry with a valid subscription. The dealer I went to added all the codes for me but couldn't SCN-code my transmission because it kept saying there was an error. The procedure came straight from MB USA who approved my request. Currently I'm waiting to hear back from the dealer who is waiting to hear back from MB USA as to what the issue is preventing the SCN-coding of the transmission.

I showed the paddles I got to the shop where I intend to get them installed and he said there's no way around not having to drill the aluminum of the steering wheel to get the bolts installed so I am a bit confused how you just used a soldering iron to melt the leather of the steering wheel without touching the aluminum. Are your paddles flush with the steering wheel?

Can you please shed some more light on this with details and maybe a picture or two? I don't want to do any unnecessary work if this shop does not know what they are talking about.

Thanks a lot.

There may be preexisting holes through the aluminum structure of the facelift steering wheel. This is not the case on the prefacelift steering wheel, you have to definitely drill in addition to removing some of the vinyl/foam.
