Thanks for the info/reply! Unfortunately, the problem seems to exist with 2011 and up cars, so your 2010 was still capable of a plug-and-play install.
For anyone interested, it seems that the solution was found in this thread:

Basically, the LCI paddles use a different current than other shifters. If the correct current is not found in the correct pins (see link above for details), the car assumes you do not have paddle shifters installed and you will lose their functionality (along with the functionality of going into DS mode). The best solution so far is to build a harness which adds the necessary resistors between the DCT shifters and the MF buttons on the wheel, according to this diagram:
Huge props to
wanlong for figuring this out! Now I need to decide if I want to take the plunge and get a set of DCT shifters then attempt to build this harness myself!
