Paddle shifter install instructions completed
Hello. How you made for the cables palette between the steering wheel and steering column. because the circular contactor only has 4 wire 2 for horn 2 and for the airbag. Good holidays Sony my american is very bad
Cheers,
Chris
RRT Performance Tuning and Maintenance just installed Latemodel21's paddle shifter kit into my SRT Roadster. They did a fabulous job and all I can say is THANKS Chris for designing this mod. It feels exactly like an OEM option, and the overall driving experience is much more immediate and makes me feel organically connected to the car. The combo of TCU tune and paddle shifters gives crisp shifts a whole new meaning. If you are in the DC area, RRT's info is:

Got to tell you that when I had my car up for sale a few weeks back, the guy that bought it (first to look at it actually) had already looked at three other SRT6's before mine...... but mine was the only one with the LM21 Paddle Shift kit. He was in awe. I have no doubt that the kit added not only to the value of my car but also it's marketability to help me make a quick sale at my full asking price.
I finally finished the paddle shift install. I took it for a test drive before reinstalling the center consul. The paddle shifters work, but the manual shifting at the shifter is not working. What did I do wrong?
you either damaged the conductor that slides across the the printed circuit board or left something out when you put it back together .
I don't have a picture of the conductor, but here is where it goes (see pic)
I will dig through my stuff and see if I have a better pic. and you can call me and I will help you get this straightened out.

Great. I did get a little spot of solder on the corner of one of the gold areas. It was the one below your finger in the pic. It was on the corner only, not where the brighter gold pathways are. I tried to remove it and gently scrape it off as best as possible. I'll take it back out, send you some pics and give you a call in the next day or two. Hopefully there is some way to fix it.
Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks for the quick response.

Also, I never found or had to disconnect the key-lock-in cable. Am I missing something? I only had to disconnect the 5 wire harness and the square harness on the front of the shifter.
In case it helps anyone else. My problem was my solder points were too high and stopping the finger plate from moving/connecting. $5 at a tv shop and all is working properly. Thanks to Latemodel for talking me thru it!

question Chris,
I was thinking of doing the "horn always on" mod. This would mean the paddle shift module would always be powered on. I don't think this is desirable. Thoughts?

Let me think about it a bit ... if having your horn available all the time seems important to you then I suppose this should be considered.

I still have to bend the stalks on the multi function and cruise switches as they get in the way and limit stalk movement.
I find it a nice option to have though.
Would I buy it again? - yes I would.

I love the immediacy and precise control of (especially) downshifting. I use it every time I drive. After this mod the car felt substantially complete and updated.
none in stock ...
all installed kits (60 shipped) are still working (and being enjoyed it would seem : )
So,
it is likely that I will make more kits in the not too distant future
if you want to be notified when they become available, PM me your email address and I will add you to the list.
Cheers,
Chris
