Yes, I briefly tried wiring the paddles directly to the gear shifter connections to make sure it all worked. Just don't drive anywhere like that, all those wires wrapped round the steering column could be a nightmare!!
The other option if you haven't got the extra pins is to pick up a later slip-ring on ebay.
Before I started this project I pondered ways of getting the paddle wires to the gear shifter, one of those was to use some sort of IR transmitter/receiver, but as it turned out my car had the spare pins on the slip ring. The other plan was to disable 1 or 2 of the Multi Function steering wheel switches and use those slip ring pins.
Good luck, it'll be worth it in the end.
