If you already have dual phase shift buttons, you just do as I did - that's it that's all.
If you have a CLK55 with single phase shift buttons, you need to either swap electronics within the paddles or buy the new adapter module available from DCT.
if you don't have any shift buttons (like Carlos & Mike), you have to add all the hardware and have them coded in.

Some Info on Programming for code 428 (from some UK Mercedes forums)
When the car is on the diagnostic there is a function called RETROFITS in the same screen as the short test. It is the 4th option in most cases.
Using his dealer password he will enter this option and add code 428 to the car and hit enter.
After 20 min or so he will then go to the Transmission controller and perform SCN coding.
There is a way to do this manually with experienced user but that information is specific to a car chassis and not generic for all cars. So in that sense there is no universal "hack" for this. The dealer is the best option.
The othe way is for the dealer to email your request to a "Level 4" VeDoc user who can modify your Datacard which is held centrally at Mercedes. Then after this modification some time later you can perform SCN on the transmission controller.
They should not laugh. It is very easy for them to do it - if they want to.

Okay Guys, we can solve this Da Vinci Code for Code 428 (Paddle Shift Option). Here is what we know so far:
Hardware Components Needed
Wiring (from other internet sources)
The WIS circuit for the CLK55 AMG shows Steering wheel gear shifter MINUS switch (S110/1) and Steering wheel gear shifter PLUS switch (S111/1) routed first to Clock Spring contact (A45).
From there, the wires pass to Steering Control module (N80) and then to Electronic Selector Lever control module. (N15/5) One wire is taken to chassis (W28/1). The other wire goes via terminal block X35/1 to Connector 1, pin 4 on N15/5.
Software Components Needed (Info I found from other internet forums)
Procedure to activate the paddles:
a) Change the wheel
b) Add code 428 in the VeDOK database and
c) SCN Code the car
(From other forum)
I took my car in for service to dealer and told them that the shifters stopped working and I needed regular service / oil change. They looked up the VIN # and it shows the car coming from factory with paddle shifters, they then ran a transmission diagnostics test and found that the shifting points had been deactivated. They did a factory default parameter down load and shifters work. Total cost for this was $68.00 for the transmission diagnostic test and default down load.
So it looks like only the dealer can version code vs. someone who has STAR with developer mode.
Hardware Components Needed
- CLK320, CLK500, CLK55 (2003-2004) - Contact Spiral (#120 on the diagram below. With Steering Angle Sensor and Code 428) A1694641018 or A2034640118 (depending on build date - Footnote From Chassis: F 088109 From Date: 14/01/2004 Except model year: 804) My 2004 CLK500 has A2034640118.
- Paddle Shifters (#11 on the diagram below) A2308218751 (Older Style - Smaller and Black in color) or A1712670046 (CLK63 Style - Bigger and Silver)
- Control Unit/Steering Wheel Switch - (#12 on the diagram below, code 428) - A0365457032
- Other Hardware needed????
