For anyone trying this on a Q8/SQ8/RSQ8… it’s even more tricky due to all the extra sturdy tabs and rubber inserts. And damn those springs that hold the airbag… are so hard. At least on my SQ8. Fight the good fight and try to not to break too many clips… you got this 🤝
b8's have the worst board to pull the pin from to install urus shift paddles. i had to heat the plastic and put a small hole in them to push the pin out far enough to grab it. got the paddles installed but i looked at every other make with paddles and they were all open ended on both sides. looks like they figured it out when their shifters go bad. made my carbon steering wheel look even better too! great video, thanks!
Aaah, the joys of modding a well made car. Guess it's a double edged sword eh? Those are some damn fine paddles, WELL worth the effort if you ask me, thank you.
Other video walkthru's I've seen show removing the wheel entirely... I'm about to attempt this on my tt-rs, will be interesting to see if I can install with the wheel in place.
@@Vaguh without a hitch, video was the perfect walk through. My tt-rs wheel had some small screws where yours had clips - but besides that everything was spot on.
@@Vaguh are you sure? Compared with Ali express they look very identical and cheaper. Im thinking to order from your link but having trust issues, please give me your best thoughts! I don’t mean to be rude asking you this 😁
@@Maz66613 lol, they’re metal and very high quality. I would buy them again and pay full price. I did hear of someone having one that broke from a faulty tack weld, but enthusiast brands sent them a new set. They’re powder coated aluminum.
@Vaguh do they engage like the factory set I.e. do they travel the same and have that "click" to change, as your video makes it look more like a soft touch button than actually clicking the paddel!?
Thanks for the video...how long does it takes to remove the bezel? After having done it, do you have any tip to make it the project easier? I like to replace my paddle too?
Once you get a feel for it, you could do the whole thing in under an hour. I had actually forgot to reinstall one of the screws and had to take the whole thing apart again. Took me just over 30 minutes the second time. It’s mostly feel and getting a hang of it. I tried to convey anything that helped in the video. I spent a bunch of time off camera fiddling around.
@@Vaguh Yup...I did it a couple of months ago and I like it. However, I remember being able to pull both paddles back at the same time to go in to neutral w/ the OEM. ...with this aftermarket, I can't do it. You have any insight to that ?
Hey - thanks for posting this vid! I'm thinking about ordering these paddles for my A3 but I'm not 100% sure which Type I need. My paddles look the same as your stock paddles but don't exactly match up with any pics on the website. Would you mind telling me which type you went with?
Is this for the 8Y or 8V? also, is this whole process necessary? It looks like you could just take out the pins and replace the paddles w/o removing the air bag or steering wheel. Can you confirm? I'm looking into doing this for my 23 S3 8Y. Thanks!
@DSa-pj2bw I haven't done it yet and am leaning towards minimizing mods on my car now since I think I'll sell it in a year or two. I have an unused JB4 I bought, installed, un-installed (due to faulty harness).
My specific setup can get loud when under load, like going up hills and when leaving a stop light in lower RPM. Not a lot of drone, but the downpipe makes it louder for sure.
Hey do you take the negative terminal off while the car is off or do you tale it off while in 1/2 way on mode? Im changing my steering wheel and i wamt the wheel to be able to turn while the car is off so i can get to both holes behind the sterring wheel?
Hi friend Please can you say me what engine is in your car? And did you do remap ECU because I hear DSG FARTS sound when you shift gears on this video,if you can give me conntact from tuner who did DSG FARTS? Thank you wery much.
Is you car keyless ignition? If it is then how do you move the steering wheel around when the battery is disconnected without engaging the steering lock?
It’s tough, you have to get a feel for it. When you pop the first side loose, it should come almost all the way out, if it doesn’t, then pop it in and try again. I tried to give more detail on this part, but it’s just feel.
How much are the paddles? There is no way I’m taking all of that apart. It’d never go back together! I’m guessing it’s a “2 hour” labor charge at $125+/hr from the dealership. Probably around $350-$400 complete??
Paddles are about $150 plus tax if you use our code in the description. It took me about 2 hours the first time since I had never done it before. After putting it together, I realized I forgot to put two screws back in, and took everything apart and back together in less than 30 minutes. I’m not going to lie, it’s a pain, but I really like the upgrade.
If THAT is where ur hands are bro when ur driving u picked the WRONG paddle shifters! Get the Racingline ones. They have holes where ur fingers are. THESE are designed for ur hands to be lower on the wheel. These are not for u bro.

These look incredible. Straightforward install video too! Too bad they didn't come like this stock, or at the very least the RS5 should have had them.
I agree. The install is worth it!
Super clean look fam... definitely adding these to my upgrade list....thanks
Aint nothin flappy about these paddles! I got a set from them too and love them!
Do you know why one paddle clicks louder than the other?
Aaah, the joys of modding a well made car. Guess it's a double edged sword eh? Those are some damn fine paddles, WELL worth the effort if you ask me, thank you.
Great exhaust sound, is this after the Unitronic tune?
In this video, I was on the 034 stage 2 tune. The sound is mostly due to the RedStar downpipe and VPS pre-muffler delete kit. The tune helps, too.
Hi, great video, thanks. Is there any risk in a novice tinkering with the airbag? I’d like to try this, the paddles in the Q7 are worthless
Just disconnect the battery. This was this first time I had ever done the removal of the airbag and steering wheel.
Other video walkthru's I've seen show removing the wheel entirely... I'm about to attempt this on my tt-rs, will be interesting to see if I can install with the wheel in place.
How did it go for you?
@@Vaguh without a hitch, video was the perfect walk through. My tt-rs wheel had some small screws where yours had clips - but besides that everything was spot on.
I'll be doing my ttrs over weekend@@SupercarSeany
How does this S5 sound so good? What did you do with the sound?
This has the Redstar exhaust downpipe, VPS tuning pre-muffler delete and stock exhaust.
Hi thanks for the great video - what size torx head holds the paddles on? Many thanks
I think t-20
Do the urus style paddles feel like plastic? Or are they metallic feeling? Great video and install by the way! The car is really coming together👌🏼
They feel like solid metal! Much better than OEM.

Looks extremely satisfying!
Damn those are some sexy flappy paddles!
Late comment here but in this video what performance tune or mods we're you running for that overrun on downshifts?
I was stage 2 with IE in this video. Overrun was on the dynamic drive mode.
Have you thought about changing the whole steering wheel to a carbon fiber one?
I’ve been wanting to do it on my b9 A4 but can’t find a shop who will do it. Seems to risky to do my self.
I’ve thought about it. May do it someday.

If you have a 2017-2023 Audi A3/S3/RS3, your connection in the back is "Style A"
my paddles with randomly shift/ don’t work why’s this?

Completely different platform. B9 Audi’s don’t have pins like the MQB platform and require this process.
I have the same car. Was the installation as complicated as it is in this video?
@DSa-pj2bw I haven't done it yet and am leaning towards minimizing mods on my car now since I think I'll sell it in a year or two. I have an unused JB4 I bought, installed, un-installed (due to faulty harness).
Hey does this exhaust setup drone at all? How is it on the quietest setting when valves are closed, pretty quiet? Thank you!
My specific setup can get loud when under load, like going up hills and when leaving a stop light in lower RPM. Not a lot of drone, but the downpipe makes it louder for sure.

Car should be off.
Hi friend
Please can you say me what engine is in your car?
And did you do remap ECU because I hear DSG FARTS sound when you shift gears on this video,if you can give me conntact from tuner who did DSG FARTS?
Thank you wery much.
Brother if you own a b9 s4 s5 sq5 you can enjoy those as standard.
@@max5axis Jes I have A5 2018 1.8tfsi but not have DSG FARTS.
My car has the 3.0T V6. In this video, it was tuned to stage 2 with IE.
This is a great channel, like really good. Think about purchasing a microphone to upscale the quality of your content!
Thanks for the feedback!
Is you car keyless ignition? If it is then how do you move the steering wheel around when the battery is disconnected without engaging the steering lock?
Yes it’s keyless. I was able to move it without the lock engaging. This might be due to the battery being disconnected.
I was going to do this on my RS6. After watching this video.... Hell no 😂 thanks for the efforts man.
Oh ok the paddles I got are covers.
Hope they work out nicely!
I hate the stock RS3 paddles. These are way nicer!
If you have a 2017+ RS3, then get yourself a set and save some money with our code VAGUH
do these fit vw?
Negative, Chief. The experience we have with the Golf R the paddles are totally different.
@@Vaguh 🤦♂️
Looking damn sassy!
I can’t get the airbag out on my rs3 at all
It’s tough, you have to get a feel for it. When you pop the first side loose, it should come almost all the way out, if it doesn’t, then pop it in and try again. I tried to give more detail on this part, but it’s just feel.
@@Vaguh I’ve bent 2 screwdrivers in the process lol
@@siraajkhan7777 oh geez. The bent screwdriver might actually help you get more of an angle. Have you been able to get one side to pop loose yet?
@@Vaguh no I can’t get either side off
@@siraajkhan7777 Took me an hour and a half on my rs3 but eventually got it out, not fun at all.

If you’re a dumbass and can’t figure out how to do it don’t complain about the price someone smart charges to do it
Ur background music is way too loud
Thanks for the feedback.
@@Vaguh so nice and humble
Is there no way you can just pull the pins out without having to take the whole wheel apart? 🥴
I wish there was, so much. Although it’s a bit tricky to get things apart, it’s worth it.
