Steering Wheel Paddle Shifters 
Steering wheel paddle shifters

This option assumes you have either no steering wheel controls, or controls without paddle shifters, or shifters in a color other than one you desire.  This info is also found on the Black Plastic Trim page & the Metal Trim page.

 

The use of these has mixed reviews, but in short their function (only on automatic transmission vehicles) duplicates the gear lever up-down gear changing while in Sentronic mode.  You can perform the functions with both hands on the wheel.  A bit hard to do while turning though, but until a neural interface comes out (maybe in 2042, maybe never.  Who can tell?) this is what's available.

 

Shown to the left are metal with paddle shifters.  As you can see, they can go on any steering wheel, wood or not.

I do not think these come in wood.

Retrofitting these requires the removal of the driver airbag in the steering wheel.  I recommend you have your dealer install this option.
