What's the price difference when you order this from the factory. Not that I'm interested (I'm a manual fellow) but it will just give people an idea. There are so many DIY retrofits that are cheaper done after you get the car - so is this one of them?

definitely not.
the total retrofit incl. new steering wheel + paddles will be about 1500 eur. from the factory, this is an 100 eur upgrade

Because I like this SAT very well and would like aslo to retrofit it .... do you have any suggestion if I would like to change from my Steptronic to SAT ?
Thanks
