M Button Retrofit
Hi guys. I've looked far and wide, but it seems no one has attempted this. I was looking to see how feasible it is to buy the M1 and M2 buttons and install them where the blanks currently sit. Pics of buttons below
Obviously you would need the M-Sport wheel WITHOUT the active cruise control. Reason i ask is if i can get the button cover to physically press like the rest than I could theoretically put a button behind it (think keyboard) and wire that to a remote that controls an aftermarket exhaust valve or meth kit. If u have ideas or have seen someone already attemot this please share. Cheers

Neat idea but unless you tap into the hub centric ring, you'll run into problems with the wires tangling when you turn the wheel.
Another idea would be to install momentary switches on your shift paddles. I'm sure you could get a really thin switch and route the wiring behind the paddles. Just another idea.

Planning on running cables through as close as possible to the center of the wheel. Hopefully any pulling can be prevented with plenty of slack. Paddle idea is cool too but I've got a 6mt
