On the picture are the missing SMD components.
Who can take a photo of this part of the P?B board?
I compared the connection diagram DTC shifter and standard shifter they are the same.
If someone will send me a picture of missing Parts PCB board, I will try to retrofit a standard shiftboks and make sportshiftbox.
Many thanks........

sport button shift box
Man, if you can do this, that would be great
I will look around as well
That's what I want in mine.
I don't have the sports paddle, no need
I just want to enable a sport button on mine
Keep us informed
And those who have this, send in pics
Thank you for your time

Won't the challenge still be the programming? This is a great effort, and I hope you are successful, but I'm thinking that the module will need the programming to make it act like the SAT ECU and/or the car will need to be programmed to work with the module. Not sure if the existing programming tools can push programming to an incompatible module (IIRC they look at the p/n of the module being programmed...)

I think that everything will be ok.
Today I added the wires from SZL to Ebox for the shift padlles. Tomorrow I'll install the steering wheel.....
Waiting for photos.

Nice work Hermman!
Now I'm curious... if you now have the new wheel installed and the paddles connected to the SZL/ebox, does anything change (ie. do the paddles work?) or do you get any errors? Just wondering as no one, to my knowledge, has installed the parts in this order - with the shiftbox being the last piece to change (or not change if you figure out the electronics).

Hi
At the moment the paddles do not work. I did not have any errors. I'm waiting for the pictures to remake the standard shiftbox to sportshifbox.
As soon as I recieve the pics I will do it.
I spend a lot of time repairing electronic devices and i dont think that is problem to retrofit it.
It is necessary to detach sportshiftbox and take a picture.
Looking forward recieving the pics.
