Retrofitting Paddle shifters to Skoda Superb II
Good luck! Just a point of note - the airbag will need to have the wiring loom attached - I tried many different wiring looms and airbags before I found the right one (at some expense!) and I wouldn't want you to go through the same!

Retrofitting Paddle shifters to Skoda Superb II
Hi there aero-hot. Nope, my Superb is a pre-facelift so definitely not impossible! It did take me some iterations to work out the best combinations but the above parts should work. Very much enjoying the experience - not only do I have the paddle shifters, but also voice control and remote switching of tracks and between HDD to SD card too. More than happy to guide you through it if needed.

Retrofitting Paddle shifters to Skoda Superb II
Hi all! I have completed the retrofit after a few setbacks. All working with extra functions that were not on the original wheel. Parts used: Steering Wheel: 5E0419091AF CWE Multifunction Steering Wheel for Skoda Octavia 3 with DSG Shift Paddles Buttons: 5E0 919 719 G DSG Steering Wheel Buttons - Switches for Skoda Superb 2 Facelift Airbag: 3T0880201G Driver's Airbag Skoda Superb 2 - Facelift The key is ensuring you get the airbag with the wiring loom attached as the problem I had was trying to match wiring looms to airbags whereby I went through many iterations! To be honest, I fell very lucky with the airbag from E-Bay as it had the wiring loom attached and to be honest, this was going to be my final attempt and was about to give up. I tried one last final time without much hope and couldn't believe it when it worked! All I had to do then was use VCDS to code for a wheel with triptronic buttons and all worked perfectly! Must admit, it feels very nice to have the extra button functionality plus paddle shifters. I have a lot of spare parts from wheels, airbags and airbag wiring looms, so pm me if you may be interested.

Retrofitting Paddle shifters to Skoda Superb II
Hi Softscoop! Many thanks for responding so quickly. From what I have read on the forum it is not so much the steering wheel incompatibility but the buttons. I have replaced the original buttons with the ones recommended in this thread so they should work: I am wondering if the problem is the airbag or the wiring loom? Cheers again!

Retrofitting Paddle shifters to Skoda Superb II
Hi guys! Getting a little desperate now. I have been scouring the forum for advice/instructions on how to retrofit paddle shifters to a Skoda Superb II. Unfortunately, I have hit a bit of a brick wall. Parts I have: Steering Wheel: 5E0419091AF Buttons: 5E0 919 719 G Airbag: 6V0 880 201 P IZY Wiring loom: 3V0 971 584 A See attached pictures. When I fit these, the horn continually sounds and the multi function buttons do not work. I have a feeling I may have compatibility issues between the parts. Can you help/advice? I have spent a bit of money now and feel committed to it but do not want to waste any more. Many thanks in advance,
