Pre-LCI paddles shift to LCI Paddle Shift

Okay - I've searched the forums high and low and can't find a definitive answer on how to accomplish this. I first tried the paddles out of the box and they didn't work.

I then re-wired them as per this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...8&postcount=22

Well, the paddles still don't work. I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Any thoughts?

Here are the paddles I purchased:

Any help is appreciated!

My bad guys - I should have posted what I did. Here goes:

Assumptions:
-Your car is a Pre-LCI and has installed the sport package steering wheel with the chrome push/pull paddle shifters.

-Your multi-function buttons are stock (Pre-LCI).

-The paddles shifters you are installing are from a LCI and are the pull type with left being downshift and right being upshift.

-You are not trying to retrofit the M3 paddles as I believe they are a direct plug and play.

To start out with, you will need to follow this guy's DIY on removing the resistors and shorting them. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...8&postcount=22

After that, you need to move the ground wire on the new paddles (can't remember if it's pin 1 or 3 but you can reference your old paddles) to the middle pin.

That is really it and it's quite easy to do. I have an extra set of paddles I can modify and sell if anyone is interested. PM me for questions.
