If I have already retrofitted a paddle shifter on the steering wheel which has a cable harness connecting to the steptronic shifter, then can I still do this mod? I'm just concerned about how these harnesses can be connected. Thanks.

Can this mod be done on a car with factory sports auto transmission?
Will this work for both pre-LCI and LCI cars?
How is the brightness adjusted?
Is this shifter taller, shorter, or about the same as the original?
Thanks

ok so the harness for 119.00 is the Plug N Play kit. and the 199.99 is for the shifter Attachment 106331
is it possible to make the shifter short like the M5 Attachment 106334 and not high up like the 5series??? Attachment 106333

This harness can be installed independently from the paddle shift retrofit kit. I have both paddleshift kit and shifter harness installed in my vehicle.

The shifter is a little shorter than the original but not a lot so i'd say it's about the same.

This kit can be installed on any vehicle with auto transmission as long as it has the regular automatic shiftknob. I believe LCI cars have a different shifter so it's not possible for those. I can't give away all the secrets of how the thing works but the you can adjust the brightness of the shifter.
The shifter is a little shorter than the original but not a lot so i'd say it's about the same.
