This kit includes a custom time saving plug and play harness that enables factory paddle shift without cutting, splicing, programming, or timely dealership visits. Separately purchase a paddle shift steering wheel, paddle shifters, and the necessary steering wheel controls (MF buttons) and plug in our harness. It's that simple. The retrofit can be performed with common tools in about 2 hours at home by following our step-by-step printed install guide. The necessary OEM part numbers for this upgrade are included in the guide.
