from what I know , it is NOT possible. There are people here who wanted to do it or tried to do it. Do a search by LCI SHIFTER or something in the google tab.....

the new shifter, which is silver and a completely different shift plate and shifting parts below the shift plate. this is not possible. Fred's wiring kit only works with the older version of steptronic like in your 04 545. unless Fred has introduced a new mod?
