Just to let you know. Could not convince my OD to download new transmission software:twisted: Only way forward would be a pre 2010 solution.

Hi All,

I had just about given up trying to get my paddles to work when I read on another forum about a good small independent Land Rover service specialist.

I contacted him and gave him the background on my car as well as the information Baben had kindly provided me on his car. They agreed that it was very possibly a software issue and told me to bring the car in so that they could run some tests.

The bottom line is that I took the car in and they downloaded the latest transmission software and guess what it f'ing worked. I am stoked. Very Happy

I can't thank Baben enough for his support, encouragement and information on his car without which I would have simply given up. Bow down Also to Colin at BBS. Thumbs Up

FINALLY!!!!!! Hard wired my paddles after obtaining a BMW coupler with all three plug sockets that have pins. Wired in the link to the gear shift and they work! No delay and as factory, very pleased.

Has anyone on here done this to the facelift 2007 MY yet then?. If the steering wheel has the paddles fitted already, a 2010 MY wheel, does this overcome the slip ring issue?.


Hi there.
Any good news regarding such Rangies please?

Getting the feed from Steering wheel to Center Console

Matt, I think I have a solution to getting additional contacts to allow connection for the Paddle shifter.

If the Spiral Harness or clock spring is removed and uncoiled and an additional / identical length spring or cable is then bonded to the original one. This would add the additional contact that would be required. I am about to buy a used clock spring to test this out

United Kingdom 2015 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Indus Silver

Paddles arrived this week (thanks Dan) and are now fitted to my car. I found a suitable "temporary" 4pin female to female cable to use for now but its a bit long Embarassed

I have ordered one of these to use instead:

As per Baben's very useful information it's wired correctly as the + & - are illuminated Cool so that just leaves enabling the CCF Confused

The car is in for a service next week and I have spoken to the dealer and have arranged to have a word with the relevant technician about enabling paddle shift Shocked Lets hope it can be done or else I'm looking for a southerner with a faultamate Whistle

Well i have assembled my SC conversion kit, remote setup, with the addition of powered LED's on the paddles working with only the one 12V supply for them and the RF unit in the steering wheel area.

this is a required mod as the transmitter has a common positive rail and not Negitive, otherwise the LED's simply fry the boards on the paddles due to a direct short on pulling the paddle with the black required to be an earth for the normal LED power up.

I therefore modify the boards like this and added independant earths for the LED's, using a battery i proved the whole system prior to fitting to the car.

Click image to enlarge

you can see where I have removed the earth track and cleaned the side of the LED for a direct earth wire connection.

this allows the positive red to still be used and only requires the one adition wire in the steering wheel wiring per side.

will post some images of the fitting tomorrow and the 6 speed gearbox connections which should be the same as my previous posting....

well got it all fitted today and it is great to have the paddles in a SC!!!

here is the centre consule power connections in a SC 2006 touchscreen facelift model

Green and White for positive ignition on and Brown for earth.

Click image to enlarge


and for all you 2006 to 2009 owners the critical info for connecting to the gearbox for the shift up and down,

Click image to enlarge


the Yellow on the Purple plug is the downshift and the Brown next to it in the middle is the upshift connections.

I again used the RF remote control mod and it worked again faultlessly.

I hope this helps everyone,

all in with one day to make both steering wheel loom and car consule loom, and then about 1 day to fit both parts.

Hi Dave,

I have used the Maplin remote 2 channel unit method again on my 4.2 SC 2006 6 speed gearbox FFRR.

due to the RF transmitter having a positive 12v common on the PCB and with me running both the RF power supply and the LED's on the same feed,

I did not get LED's to work on my last installation due to the short when pressing the paddle which due to the black wire being the ground for the switch when pulling the paddle for the paddle PCB's and a positive feed going up the red wire I needed to seperate the common earth on the paddle PCB's due to the LED's needing to have a earth whilst allow the combination of either grey or blue to connect to the black to allow the paddles to replace the RF transmitter button switches with them being isolated from the LED's.

bar this it was a standard remote control installation again.

hope this helps Current vehicles
