Retrofit JCW Steering Wheel with Paddle Shift on Cooper 1.5 LCI

Hey Folks, (Maybe you guys can help... @minicooperjp @DarkMiniCooperS @boubi @ciclo @pinky_chi @Imperial )

I own a Mini Cooper 1.5 Turbo F56 LCI 2019, Automatic Transmission 7-Speed. I have ordered a JCW Steering Wheel with Paddle Shift to replace my stock steering wheel that does not have paddle shifts.
I know I need to do the proper coding to enable the paddle shifts. From what I have researched this is what I need in terms of Coding:

1) BDC_BODY -> PADDLES_VERBAULT (set to "aktiv" - default "nicht_aktiv")
2) EGS -> Sport T/M (set to "enabled" - default "disabled")
The JCW Steering Wheel that I ordered already comes with the Steering Wheel Wire Set.

My question now is:
Will I need any extra wiring from where the new Steering Wheel to Body Domain Controller (BDC)?

If I need any extra wire, what is exactly what I need? Any one has a diagram that shows what needs to be connected and where?

Regards,
Henrique

I continue researching on this... Looks like the Paddle Shift on Mini Cooper are connected to BDC module. On the steering column centre switch big connector on PIN 3, it should have a wire running to BDC (either blue or yellow with green stripe).
On the BDC side I still need to figure out where the other end of the wire is connected.

Does anyone here has a wiring sheet of BDC (should be the top row second connector from the right on LHD cars - Brazil steering wheel is on left side)???

I was thinking if I can confirm which is the wire required, I can check if it is already there.
