I ended up getting my own MB Star tester this week to verify that this upgrade is not causing any "implausible" inputs to the cars various computers (what an AWESOME tool this tester is!)

The good news: Testing is completed. Unit is working perfectly. Harnessing is all worked out. Hope to start shipping next week.

It turns out that they cost more to build then I expected ... but I said I was going to ship the first batch at $145 each (this is for module and all harnessing) ... so that will be the price for the first batch (don't expect this price to hold for the next run).

Still working on putting together some install instructions with pictures... should have that ready shortly

Cool! My paddles arrived yesterday. At least I can show off the paddles tomorrow at the Crossfire GTG at Texas Motor Speedway.

I am following this post, looking forward to paddling my SRT! - PS this is good for SRT too right, not just the N/A?

Does the N/A and SRT have the exact same auto(stick)?

This will work in all automatic Crossfires.

.....and any other car (with no buttons on the steering wheel other than a horn) that has a shifter that looks like this ,,,,

It looks like I might have a job come Monday! That being said, we'll have to see about finding a spare steering wheel to try this, income allowing as I've been out of work for a bit.

She won't like this post when she finds it. Like a stalker, I tell ya'.

I am ready to start shipping some Kits, but I ran into a snag getting some good crossfire install pics to make available with the Kit. ...
....Unfortunately, the member who had scheduled with me to have the shift paddles set-up installed in his Crossfire (today) discovered at the last moment that he had some more important issues he needed to handle first. So, I am, again, hoping to find a local crossfire owner who wants to install paddle shifters in his car so I can take some pictures of the installation for the install guide.
