Like i wrote in my previous thread, the sports button has no functionality. It needs to be coded by the dealer... At the moment, stage 1 is all about looks...

That is awesome. I like the sport shifter (SAT) better than my non sport shifter. How is it working and is it just like the non sport shifter. If so I may go for this retro fit down the road.
Thanks, Rick....

You have exactly the same functionality as with the non-sport shifter. It looks awesome, feels awesome and is not as fragile as the non-sport shifter. I would do the retrofit anytime again..

No, the shifter on its own is not possible. You need to change the shifter, the ECU, the console cover and buy the sports button!

Total in US dollars?
Let us know when stage 2 is done and does it work well.
Thanks, Rick...
