Welcome to another The Audi S3 Fanantic video and DIY! There has been a ton of buzz lately regarding the topic of paddle shifter extenders for the S3 8V platform. A company called TAW Chicago recently designed carbon fiber paddles shifters which I installed on my S3.

Today’s video will cover the remove and installation process of their CF paddle shifter, as well as a full review. Overall, the task is not difficult, but you do have to take your time and be cautious. The process should take you roughly an hour to an hour and a half.

Hey any chance you could provide a long-term update on these? Did they hold up? Any change in paddle crispness? Thank you! These seem to be the only good option for replacement paddles on the S3/B8.5 S4.
I'm wondering how universal this is for other steering wheels. Im about to change the paddles on my genesis coupe and there isn't a single video of how to do that. Probably gonna vlog it and ill be the first to document it lol
How do prevent the steering wheel from locking so you can rotate it to get the airbag clips?
Hola podrían publicar como se desmonta los paddle shitf de los R8
I accidentally pulled the wire on my left sifter have to order another one 🙁 be very careful guy when pulling out that trim it can be stubborn
Amazing vedio, can I ask
where I can order a pair for my car?
Have a question. I actually had to remove paddle shifters since i drive manual car. Now i’m interested if there is anyway to fulfill the hole in the back any plastic or anything…
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I accidentally damaged one of my paddles and needed to replace it since 2 years ago, but could never find a guide on how to remove the bracket after removing the airbag. This video will help me a lot this weekend.
I’d like to replace the chrome trim (gloss black on yours) due to wear causing a small section to peel, on my Audi s3 8p. Is this possible and any hints tips or where to purchase a new one would be helpful. Excellent videos thanks again.
Love those shifters. I was thinking about replacing the whole steering wheel – do you have any idea what size bit you need to take the wheel off the hub?
Hi Fellow S3 Fanatic….I just installed TAW paddles. Everything went smooth until I started car. Now horn beeps every time I start it….what did I screw up?
my goodness. the first professional good, well made video I saw on yt on how to remove and work with this steering wheel properly. THANK YOU SIR. instant subscribed
Where did you get the carbon ones you had on first ?
Hello, great video ! Does this also work with FL RS3 models?
I have purchased the same paddles and on my RS3 FL it seems like the air bag centre cover has different clips on the back ?
Thank you for the info,I have an s5 6mt but needed info on airbag and trim removal for a tawchicago wheel,this is what I needed
Great work on your videos. My 2016 A3 Quattro came with DSG/S-Tronic but didn't come with paddle shifter on my steering wheel. In your comment below, you stated that I will need VagCom to activate the feature. But my question to you is, would I need to purchase a different steering wheel? Or would I be able to install the cardon fiber paddle shifter directly to my existing steering wheel? Thank you.
What is the brand of them paddle shifters don’t want to buy the double sided tape one want to replace them with actual electronic paddle shifters
Thx, I now know how to remove the black glossy trim. Very good diy video
Is it possible to install paddles to a car that don´t have them? Im about to get a a3 -17 with s-tronic but it does not have the paddles.
Can u explain a more simple way to get the buttons side of the clips off I can't seem to get it off for my life.
Hello again friend great job.
I have a question. In my a3 like your, i have the manual a/c with heated seats, and i want to install the digital switch of A/c Like yours…i dont want the climatronic function, just the digital controle install. Do you think its possible.
