Can you disable the Tiptronic Shift Buttons?

I don't understand. Can you elaborate? Add paddle shifters to a manual steering wheel? How would that work?

Thanks.

Here's a paddle shifter thread, but if you have trouble with the tiny Tip' shifters, getting bigger floppy shifters might not be the solution.

Here's some detail of an install on Rennlist: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/929250-paddle-shifter-install-on-tiptronic-write-up.html

Maybe hold the steering wheel differently?

You could wire in a switch to open the circuit and disable them, but do you really want to do that?

I saw a steering wheel like that for sale one time. Not sure how it’s done but I know that you can add paddle shifters through the back as an alternative to the buttons.

I'll do this someday. Paddles run ~$100+

I believe you'll have to install them on a Tip/button steering wheel.
