Update is that it works right out of the box, plug and play, no modifications needed. I can take my Canon G10 to take a couple short vids and show how it works. I took some pictures of the wheel and will post them when I have access to my PC. I'm on my Mac right now.

By the way, for the doubters, Diamond Skyline, lyjw88, and Hunter399 witnessed that the paddles do work.

Tischer should really start sponsoring my car, LOL~

Congrats Kev. Can't wait to see the pics or video of your new set up. How long did it take to install everything? You should let us know the tricks about installation and all. Btw, when did you get your paddles from Tischer? Haven't they been on back order for some time?

I'll take some vids tomorrow morning. I'm just processing the pics right now. As far as install goes, it's just like regular M-Tech steering wheel, no real tips / tricks.

Just installed mine using the old original paddles (all be it, it's a tight fit)...600 for the dct paddles is too rich for my blood.

Where are you ordering the M5 paddles from? What kind of steering wheel do you have? Do they fit on the M3 wheel? Please give us some more info.
