Thanks for all the info. Really appreciated.
It would be funny if I retrofit the + & - on the volume control as paddle shifting..ahahahaha

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.
