I've only seen 2 CAN-wires

FYI: The wiring kit that you guys need to do this is made by PLCMAN on the LXforums. I just ordered one of his kits and a set of switches from the 171 chassis part number.

keep us posted i have spent coutless hours trying to figure this stuff out and whent no where

I´ve just retrofitted the AMG-Paddles on a 2002 C-Coupe.

If any of you guys tells me how the steering box (where the shift knob is on top) forwards the orders to change gears, I might be able to help you.

I need to know if there is just a connection to the ECU with wires, or if the steering box also has a mechanic connection to the transmission.

Well I guess nobody wants to have them..

I would still love to do this I'm just waiting on the DIY with pictures.

francoisisp

the connetions does not go to the ECU it bridges with the wires at the shifter lever

Anybody get a DIY on this done with some pictures? I'm a visual learner and not a good spelr.

I want to get this also to my 2005 c30 amg. I have already steering wheel installed but here local dealer can't done codings (add option in datacard and then SCN codeing).

simppa80

So I Have facelift C30 CDI AMG but we think now it have same controller like C32. Richard (Mb guru from U.K.) have mede datacard update by orginal Star machine and after that our local MB dealer trye SCN coding but it wont change nothing..

So no need to try this mod by wiring..

Hello,

I am a new owner of "Simppa80"'s car and I would appreciate if someone could give me a hint how to prodeed with this steering wheel change?

Car has C32 paddle steering wheel, and datacard has already been programmed via SCN. Something is still to be done because it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

simppa80

I really hope you get that working

hrj922

Was a DIY with photos ever done on this???

francoisisp

the guy from lebanon was supposed to give us an update on this as far as which wire goes where but never did so after months of waiting for replies I just gave up.

not sure if this will work for you c32 guys but chris's kits are the best i have ever seen and the instructions impeccable and fully detailed. close to 2 dozen kits sold to the slk32/xfire guys and not a single issue. read and enjoy. oh yeah how about 300$ for everything!!

Hello all. So I am picking up my new (to me) 2003 C32. I plan on doing some mods, including paddle shifters. I have done some searching, and I have yet to find anyone who has done this on a C32 with the stock wheel. If so, I would love to know how it works. I have a solid electronics backround, and I am ready to tackle this one. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mike

dunno if this will help. there may be some parallel or cross-over techniques
you can use

benzmodz

From 2003 and later
-----------------------


Step 1
---------
Throw away your EGS2 out and install EGS3 transmission controller from 2005 car.


Step 2
--------
Perform coding of the chassis type and include 428 paddle shift option.


Step 3
---------
Install 428 compatible steering spiral in steering column


Step 4
---------
Add W203 paddle shift steering wheel such as R171 steering wheel (sold as sports pack on W203)


Step 5
-------
Throw away cheap lame plastic paddles and install amazing R230 metal paddles. Make sure you check part number since 2 versions exist.


Step 6
-------
Add C-S-M button to centre console.


FINISHED.

If you have PRE-2003 car ....... who knows. This version of the upgrade only works easily for MSG engine controller cars because of the steering spiral .

I dont know who is having problems here with this upgrade but I can assure you that after 2003 is it simple and uncomplicated because of the CANBUS associated with the upgraded MSG engine controller / new column switches / new windscreen sensor and new SAM software.

The C32 was sold late into 2004 with the facelifted centre console and paddle shift from factory.

The stock wheel can be bought with paddles but it is extremely rare and very expensive.

WOW back from the dead.....
Where or how can I get the EGS3? This is essentially the TCU correct? And if in that case a C55 would do?

The most difficult part on that list is the updating of your vehicle datacard for the 428 option (from what I know, only the Dealership [they are hesitant to do this] and some "international" companies can update it) and having a dealership agree to reprogram your car (again, I they are very hesitant to do this for you in the USA; I haven't found anybody yet).

If you can find somebody or some company to do this coding, the rest is just HW.

I have been trying to do this paddle shift retrofit to my CLK (same process); but I stopped once I hit this "scan coding" wall.
