Default Paddle shifters not working in D and S

On my way home last night I noticed my steering wheel paddle shifters are no longer working when in D or S. They only work when I place the shifter in the manual shifting area.

They worked fine before I had a remote starter installed last week. Is this an issue anyone's ever experienced and can it be fixed easily?

As far as I can remember you have to VCDS code that there are not paddle shifters in order for them to work in D and S. Your installer probably changed that.

Tell us more about your remote start. Apart from this any other issues with it or the car since having it fitted?

Hello,

I have an audi A6 4F C6 and after some repairs now paddles wont work anymore on D or S mode...

Can you please explain that a little better? Should I code the Steering wheel as he don't have shifters??

Thank you.
