Hello!
I have a 2013 Smart w451 Electric Drive car. It had a 2-spoke steering wheel originally. I bought a 3-spoke pre-facelift steering wheel with F1 paddles on Ebay. I replaced the steering wheel, then activated the paddles using Vediamo and also deactivated the creep mode in the car. The paddles still do not work. I subscribed for help to the Evilution website (evilution co uk/mod/451-paddle-wheel-doesnt-work). Based on the information there, I tried to replace the cables in the car's factory wiring harness. After this the paddles still do not work. My car is post-facelift, the steering wheel I bought is pre-facelift. Swapping the wires (8. and 9. instead of 5. and 10.) would have solved the problem, but it did not work for me. I have no idea. The paddle function activated if i check it in the N127 ECU module with Vediamo (Schaltpadel aktiv/verbaut). I tryed to swap the wires in the main connector (inside the steering wheel, that connect to the steering sensor), but not changing. At least the creep mode is gone, so I do not have to press the brake when the car is stationary. But to be completely happy, I miss the more intense regenerative braking power provided by D+ mode.
Thank you
