I've not done this myself, and don't plan to, but the question has come up a couple of times and I wanted to share my research.

I want to do it on my 2014 Metropolis. The actual fitting of the paddles looks easy but I have no idea how to affordably enable the paddle shift in the CCF, don’t fancy buying hundreds of pounds worth of tech kit just to do that one job in the CCF - does anyone know of someone in the UK that could do it once I’ve fitted the paddles? |

On the Evoque auto, using the dashboard config settings menu's you can select to have the ability for manual gear changes (using flappy paddles) in sport or normal drive mode. Or you can select just to manually change when in sport.

Erm, eBay looks like ÂŁ250 heated and ÂŁ150 not heated. Seems like a waste to put so much effort in and not have a heated one. I'm not convinced I would get away with, I suspect the finance director might have something to say! |

Unlikely in pre MY13, post maybe, not sure yet. I've already activated the field's associated with "paddle shifts" (there's more than one) and nothing activated in the command centre for "vehicle configuration" and tbh wasn't expecting it to as we've seen many times before that until hardware is detected on the CAN/LIN, features remain hidden, in this case the paddle shifts are a part of the LIN between the steering wheel module and BCM. Bit like DAB dissapearing when fault occurs.

Parts have arrived, new rear steering wheel cowl with cutouts for paddles, this saves me doing any surgery on my current one, paddles and happy to say correct paddle wiring loom which was under question.

Well I went for it as PowerfulUK had a set of parts on offer. Very good value, so I couldn't resist.
