Yes, the Mercedes Paddle Converter module is THE plug-n-play solution. It is a digital to analog module that fits under your airbag. You plug the Digital AMG aluminum paddles into the module and then plug the module in where your old buttons were connected. No wiring or programming required.

You can get the module from forum sponsors including DCT Motorsports and VRP speed. If you are overseas, you can get it from ComandonlineUK. You can also get more information or purchase it directly from me (I am the designer and Manufacturer). I can also modify your wheel to physically accept the paddles (or send you some instructions).

Cheers,
Chris

Here is a CL wheel I converted https://mbworld.org/forums/cl55-amg-...onversion.html

The S55 and E55 wheels are similar in that they come from the factory with the same style buttons as your CL ... you will find many pictures of wheels I have converted to paddles in their threads (here some examples)
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ml#post6866225
in this S55 pic, you can see how the Module is installed
https://mbworld.org/forums/s55-amg-s...ml#post6917262

If you want your gripping updated (flat-botom, etc) and/or carbon fiber added you can contact DCT motorsports as they do excellent work (and they will give me the wheel to add the paddles during the process .... I having been doing all of their paddle conversions for more than 5 years).

Feel free to send me a PM if you would like more info.

Cheers,
Chris

Under ideal circumstances, I can turn the wheel around in 1 day.

I do not stock or sell carbon fiber paddles (you would have to get those from DCT); I do stock the AMG OE aluminum paddles (part number 171-267-0046) and normally sell them to forum members at the wholesale price ($150/pair).

If you want pricing on the the module and labor as a package, send me a PM and I can give you some specific numbers.

Cheers,
Chris
