Purchased a new wheel and the control module. I thought this was all supposed to be plug and play but it’s not working out that way.
The new wheel has 2 pin connectors and the module has 3 pin connection. Also the left side isn’t long enough to reach the module.
The seller is telling me to cut the connectors off my orig wheel and use them with the orig harness to plug into the module. They can’t tell me which plug on the module it should then plug in.
I am lost and need some help please.
New wheel connections New module no place to plug in
Left side paddle wire not long enough to reach
Orig button connectors

It would seem that your new set-up (Later N135 interface) should be using the 2007 E63 paddle (171 267 0046) connector configuration (see pic).
As you will see, the down paddle should have pins in locations 1 and 3 (so you MUST replace the connector that is on the end of your down paddle). The up paddle has its connections on pins 1 and 2, so you could (maybe) use your existing connector (but it would be best to add a 3-pin connector as shown in pic).
OR, it is not 100% clear if the N135 module shown above is supported by your car, so you may want to splice the connectors as has been suggested, To add clarity to the vendor's instructions, he is suggesting that you cut the connectors off of your original buttons (shown in red circles) and splice those connectors onto your new paddles (and then use the original "Y" harness). Make sure not to mix up the up and down paddle connectors when splicing. Don't mix up the Down and UP

Do you have a suggestion on the easiest fit for 2008 W211 E350 ?
yes and no,
you will need to modify the base to fit the spline. then you will need to figure out the electronics of the button, change the wiring harness to fit the plug of your clockspring, buy an airbag.
so yes you can fit it to a w211 but it wont be easy
2004 e320, fitting facelift e55 steering wheel so I can use paddles. I have the entire steering column, with the wiring harness chopped off from the donor car. Are the wires color matched? I don’t know the pin numbers on the harness. Going to be soldering each wire to from donor harness to the wires coming from my car. There’s 10 wires on donor car.
after all electronics are changed including SCM, I do have further questions -
im assuming I’ll have to do some SCN coding in order to enable paddle shifters. Not a problem.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the TCM will be able to read signals from the paddle shifters if it’s facelift paddles on a pre facelift transmission, or if the SCM does the work interpreting the signals and all that.
Facelift SLK/CLS steering wheel is a straight up plug-and-play for a Facelift w211. Freshens it up and feels great to drive. Reccomended if you can cop it cheap (got it for 100€)
