On our cars the paddle modules actually contain resistors that change the voltage to a specific amount required by the vehicle system depending on if the paddle is pressed vs. depressed for example. So basically, unless the F8X M DCT paddle modules use the exact same resistors it will not work.
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure I've figured out what the resistor values need to be in order to make the E9X M3 DCT paddles work and I've got everything on order as we speak. I will hopefully test out my theory sometime in the next 2 weeks, I need to carve out a few hours to work on it but I'll keep you guys posted  |
Fingers are crossed you can get it to work.
Aside from the resistors, do the e9x m3 paddles install without modification?
