Coding Shift Paddles
So I've had my flat bottom steering wheel with paddles for the longest time and I'm tired of just looking at my shift paddles instead of using them.
When I first installed it about 2 years ago, I tried every local dealer and none were able to code them, even though I had all the instruction at hand (add 428 code to VeDoc ). But none of them we're able to complete it, telling me the data base was preventing them from SCN coding my car, they told me I needed a hacker..
Tried a few indy shops with no luck and gave up because I wasted enough time.
I was wondering if there was anyone local from Quebec/Canada or Ontario does such coding ?

They said they weren't able to code the transmission. The car detected the paddles but weren't able to add the codes to the transmission files apparently. That was the dealer that tried the hardest, others just said we don't add options or SCN cars..

Apparently, many dealerships don’t give access to add codes into the VEDOC. When retrofitting options into my car, I had some help from European mercedes mechanics who had the necessary access. Once the code is in the VEDOC, any dealership can SCN code the items into the car. It’s very frustrating but can be done

Welcome to the club... To be fair, I'm sure the reason my transmission still shifts like new at 270k is that I don't have paddles..

Hey, I'm in Alberta. I just recently got the paddle shift and Manual mode working.
