Is this what I think it is?

DCuatro product for the FTO. From what the translation suggests, I think these are steering wheel paddles that allow you to change gears on the steering wheel if you have a tiptronic. Does this seem right?

Im not sure cant tell sh*t from the site. I have been looking into ths for mine for quite sometime now but then got distracted. Theres a few companies that make kits in the states however they have never got back in contact with me. I htink it would pretty easy to just need to fabricate the actual paddles themselves

A few FTOOC members have fabricated some paddles for this, the electrics are either 2 switches wired to the switches in at the bottom of the shifter, or use a remote system so you don't have extra wires running down the steering column.

^^^ yeah thats what i was thinking, just fabricating some paddles, then hook them up to some micro switches etc etc

If you have some pics diy that would be awesome

I saw it a year or 2 ago, the maker was a mechanical engineer by trade, they looked pretty good, but I don't have access to the site anymore

Get Ben to suck up to them on the Red Dragon forum.

I'll just ask on the FTOOC forum. I've seen them come up here before as well... I seem to recall Kev having something to do with them as well

Is that what everyone else thinks it is. The translated page doesnt read really well, but I think thats what it suggests it is. Currently sitting at $60 and fits a 5 speed auto.
