    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the shifter from in dash to handle shifter in the seat? (See pictures)

    I totally love the seat shifter compared to in dash because I can use it without looking at it.

    Has anyone done this?

    Make it as tall as possible. Much easier on your shoulder.

    They still offer it in the new models. It is just a choice now if you want it or on dash.

    So if they still offer it then it should be possible to add the seat shifter? Does anyone know what it takes to switch? Do I need a new wire harness or only the shifter?

    New harness and might need a new program as well depending on what set up you have and what one you put in with the Econ, Power, and Extra Econ.
