I got a quote a while back $349 for the invertor box.

The last time Ivan and I spoke about pricing, he indicated he would be selling the paddle converter module for $199. I am guessing that your $349 quote INCLUDED a pair of the AMG paddle switches.

I would suggest you send Ivan (at DCT motorsports) a PM, an Email, or give him a call.

Can i add paddle shifters to a clk 350 that doesn't come with the option ?

It comes with the shift knob triptronic transmission but im crazy to get my hands on paddle shifters

Can confirm the conversion works as advertised on my 2003 CLK55. I bought the BS steering wheel off eBay a long time ago, when I thought the installation was a simple conversion. The other methods to utilize the BS steering wheel were way too complex or draconian to attempt. Ben's Workshop in Austin, TX did the installation, despite no instructions from Ivan.

I will see if I can put together some instructions for plugging in the "conversion module" so Ivan can send them out with the modules. It is only a couple of plugs, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Glad to hear you are finally able to enjoy the paddles on your CLK55 !

Tom, thanks for the feedback
here is a link to the a post in the other thread where I posted a 2 page blurb I put together today, It has pictures of the shift buttons it replaces (with part numbers), explains in reasonable detail what it does and how to install it.

if there are questions that it doesn't answer, I would invite anyone to feel free to ask them or send me a PM,

Bravo, Chris. Great job and just the right level of instruction!
