I remember that someone had modified/installed paddle shifters for their steptronic. I went back to the website it was on ----> SwitchChange but it looks like they're offline for the moment. Does anyone have a inside connection on when the website will be back, or the paddle shifters become available???.....Thanks!!!

I'm waiting for it, too, but I hope it's not too long or I'll find out all mod I needed by myself.

Hobi is the guy behind this website.
He is launching it, actually wanterd to launch it in January but is running late.
Once he's back, what hopefully will be very very soon, there will be a lot of stuff for us.

I can't wait!!!.... I've been practicing shifting in manual mode, and sometimes I think paddle shifters would be alot easier. Any hints on what kind of mods he'll be offering???.....
