[LandyAndy]

Mr BFG.
In another thread you mentiond you have fitted paddles to your early D4.
Cough up the details here mate.Im sure lots will be interested,do you use an 8 speed steering wheel and patch it into the brains of the vehicle????

I take it you don't need the BBS adapter boards in the early D4 then Tombie, just add the hardware and "adapted" tranny software....?

You got it! In my case a nice RRS wheel with the Paddles and perforated leather [emoji6]

Then bang on a 25a power supply to keep the ECUs happy and load the modified file...

Woohoo! Flappy paddle shift for 6 speed...

[sheerluck]

Yep, that's on my list, and I need to save a little faster for my IIDTool pro........

They're not cheap that's for sure and the annual fee is a kicker!!!

[sheerluck]

At least the first year is included! :D

I've just spent ****loads on several others though....VW, Mercedes, and others.....:(

I have the "Graeme Special" instead of actual paddles. He wired in a wireless receiver to the loom and stuck a remote to the side of the steering wheel. Allows me to use command shift while in D and manual mode if the gear selector is pushed over to Sport/Manual.

My Tech 2 for my Saab cost over $2,500, and subscription was almost as much again per year... my IID Tool BT was cheap in comparison!

Before Nanocom etc I purchased a full diagnostic package with ALL LR models, cables, interface etc...

Was a cool $26,000...

Still have it and upgrade the tech and licences as I can...

Ironically repaired and mapped Muppets ECU with a $5 connector. Soldering iron and a $60 BDM unit!

Totally worth it :D

:eek:

I had thought that Muppet was human. But no, we now know he's some sort of cyborg.

I had thought that Muppet had read about humanity, and wanted to emulate it. But no, we now know he's some sort of cyborg.
