2005 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Zambezi Silver

Aberdeen member installation of Matts FFRR Paddle system

well here is my photo picture story of the fitting of the paddles to my V8 4.4 54 plate 3005 model

Simon at powerful UK helped with reduced cost on the paddles from his listed price to get this done.

Matt has done the hardest part with all the wiring mods identification!!

so here we go

the bare down paddle board prior to resistor removal

The board with the resistors removed

the preparation of a jumper wire, use the remaining wire to guide and help position it then trim with scalpe knife

Click image to enlarge

then attach to the lower 2 connections as defined by Matts instructions

Click image to enlarge

and then trim

Click image to enlarge

repeat for the right upshift shown with the pre-trim wire jumper attached

this is the master plug that will be used to connect to the transmitter for the wireless system

STAGE 2 OF PADDLE SHIFT UPGRADE

Well been busy this afternoon and here is the installation photo's for the receiver unit wired into the gearbox controll area and how I powered it up off an ignition feed.

remove top center surround

Click image to enlarge

this allows you to see the purple connector Matt identified as being required

Click image to enlarge

remove drinks holder

Click image to enlarge

with the top central main consule cover removed you need to connect to the Blue and Yellow and the Blue and White cables on the purple plug

Click image to enlarge

I have splice soldered CAT5 network cable onto the original connectors and then re-inserted them into the plug holder

Click image to enlarge

I then test wired up the receiver and tested it by powering it up via the cigarette lighter wires, with the wiring of the Blue and White cable to the channel 2 furthest from the power connections which is operated by the right small button of the transmitter and the Blue and Yellow to the channel 1 middle connections to the larger button on the controller. this then allows the large button to corrospond to the left down paddle with blue wire,
and the smaller button channel 2 to the up shift paddle with the gray wire.

Click image to enlarge

here is where I routed the reciever antenna once I had placed it down under the central dash controls where in front of the gear lever is a opening and empty space.

Click image to enlarge

the place I got power via a inline fuse holder is from the ingintion on green and white wire from behind the gear lever area under the drinks holder, and the earth is from the cigarette lighter in the central storage area, the Brown wire.

Click image to enlarge

next is to disconnect the battery and play under the steering wheel air bag!!!!

hope this helps everyone!!

thats the easy bit if you go back to the start of the thread jonno explains where to put the wires i removed the switchs from the sender

Common is earth
blue to nc and grey to other nc

Rotate your tx 90 degs clockwise and the left solder point on the back of the left button is your first earth and so on.

When you've soldered the wires on if you touch the blue and earth together (or the grey and earth) the led on the tx board will light up - job's a good one.

I have left the battery in situ at the moment. Make sure you insulate the terminals with tape though.

And don't forget to set the reciever to "pulse" or it just won't work!

On the back of the TX as you turn it over:
left button
Left solder point = common
Right solder point = NC

Right button
Top left solder point =common
Bottom right solder point = NC "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I have a 2007 Range Rover with heated steering wheel so do not have the additional circuits available through the "clock spring" as JLR call it, BUT studying the wiring diagrams I could see that the heated steering wheel wiring has a seperate ground and 12v supply wire (from the ignition) to the normal steering wheel switches. This is to allow it to be fused seperately I guess.

Normal swiches are off a 5 amp fuse and the steering heating off a 10 amp fuse. SO by using the ground and supply wires for the heated steering wheel only (wiring the normal switches across to this supply on the steering wheel side) I was able to free off two tracks from front to back to use for the paddle shifts. Makes the 5 amp fuse redundant and the 10A fuse is large enough.

Hence you CAN fit paddle shifts to older cars with a heated steering wheel with the existing hardware - no need for RF remotes etc. Much easier!
