Default paddle shift retrofit possible?

looks like the phaeton/tourag folks have retrofitted paddle shifts in their cars. Could I guess this should then be easily doable for our A8s?

check out the link. Looks like those vortex guys are pretty active as well.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1896298">http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1896298</a</li></ul>

No - each wiring harness is individual - not possible

I've seen people do it on the A4's and and A6's, so I'm pretty sure it can be done for the A8.

Default Anything is possible...

But who is really going to take the time and money to create a custom wiring harness, rip out the dash and part of the interior, and the put it all back together again?

Default Well Kimbo got there before me. I am wrong, anything is possible ...

for a price. It's just that the price would be very, very high
