    Stay away from the d16 aside from the problems parts availability is terrible, usually at least a week waiting for the part and then a less than 50/50 chance it's the right one!

    do not buy D16, trouble reported. I have D 13.
    ISHIFT is junk plagued with electrical problems, just spent 5k on mine at 600k, after 5 weeks of troubleshooting with volvo assist.
    DON T DO IT. GET 13SPD, MUCH CHEAPER LONG RUN
