Paddle Shifter HELP!!!
So almost a months and a half ago I got into a big accident and my car is still getting fixed. I have a 2011 G37x with perm/navi. Ive read on here how to install them and that my model comes with the paddle wires butr I told the shop thats fixing my G that they just had to order it and attach them because my car is prewired and I just spoke to him he said that theres a hardware issue that its not working or something has anyone heard of this issue?? I thought the paddle installation was an easy thing as wiring and putting the steering columns on.

Have a '11 G37x w/ prem-nav and just followed the guide per the paddle shifter install thread without removing steering wheel (remove trim, bolt on and plug in and install new trim) - pre-wired so only took about an hour by just following the DYI.

I know but the thing is I don't have my G its still in the shop and a mechanic was telling me this. What I don't understand is that if I can do it by following instructions on here like a toy why can't my mechanic install these??

Did your car have the paddle shifters before? Also, is your mechanic testing the paddle shifters after they've been plugged into the wiring harness? Need to ask him these questions to get a better answer. Based on what you're saying, it sounds like there may be a problem in the wiring harness OR the mechanic doesn't know how to install these.

If they didn't order the "kit" and just ordered the paddle shifters the "hardware" issued could be something as simple as the trim pieces. If they don't have the new trim pieces the paddle shifters obviously will not fit with the old trim pieces. Find out what the problem is and then we can help you.
