Pretty sweet. I like the turn option, but I could see honking the horn accidentally frequently, and potentially getting some other drivers ticked off at me.

 

turn option?

 

Did I not see the person in the video push a button on the front or top and activate the turn signal, or am I going nuts? (the latter being a real possibility )

EDIT...yeah check it out at around 20 seconds...he pushes one of the buttons at the top/front of the knob than the camera pans to the cluster showing the turn signal. Whew...not going nuts

 

I thought it was the downhill light flashing.

*edit* I'M going nuts. They installed the same on a sportage, and it showed the flashers going... Yep, this 25.5yr old mind is going sooner than some of you!

 

That is great, how much is it and is it a DIY install? Like the LED down in the console as well, been thinking about getting that and the cup holder LED's but just nervous about taking the console all apart to wire on a new vehicle.

 

Who is the supplier/vendor for this?

 

It's an OEM Kia part from the K9 (Quoris), which is the sister car to the Equus.

 

I would not use this on my car... First because I never use the lever in manual mode so it's really only a couple of shifts each time I drive. Second because it's lit up and would be another thing to annoy me. The place in the SFS that has P, R, N, D, etc is already too bright and at night annoys me. I lowered the brightness of my dashboard but those letters don't seem to dim with the dashboard.

 

So, that's REALLY expensive. The thing itself is $550, and to have the P button and the side button function, add another $650. Including installation. (according to the uploaders of the video). But you have to go to their shop to have it installed.

 

Korean shifter mods

Anyone knows where we could get this? This should be OEM!

Btw, i'm new here, just switched my 2011 Elantra for a 2014 SantaFe 2.0T Sport AWD. Cheers!

I'm curious, why would you want one?

After watching the youtube link, I`m with John..(curious)

BTW...Congrats, and :00000732:

 

Looks like the BMW/MB shifter, looks nice and does stuff too, should be a nightmare to connect all that stuff. Korea gets all the good stuff for the SF, tuning...

 

Shiny, indicator lights and I think I could get used to having a horn button that handy. Need the dual horn upgrade though.

 

This is my first automatic car, therefore i always have my hand on the knob and the fact to have the horn on it add a lot and it looks more ''comfy'' than mine.
Otherwise it looks better, nice gadget, another way to be unique.
I'm not a plastidip nor ebay parts fan. It have to look OEM or it doesn't go on my car.

John, if you personnaly don't see anything interesting at first look why would you want my opinion on it? I like it, i pay for it, it's my truck, deal with it or don't comment.

Back in my younger days, my second, third, and fourth vehicles were standard shift. So I know the instinct of keeping your right hand on the shift knob. I still do that often. And I occasionally use the shiftronic to go through the gears just for old times sake.

I never said I didn't find anything interesting. I was just curious what you may have found interesting. The first half of your reply was interesting to me because I too was intrigued by the horn button on the shifter. With one hand usually on the steering wheel, it's not easy for me to quickly toot the horn. Plus, I was curious if you noticed something else, that I hadn't, that might be of interest to me.

I believe forum members should be allowed to ask questions without being chastised. For that reason, I find the second half of your post offensive.

I think it's cool alright but not for me. Way too much stuff on the gear shift knob. When I go to the manual mode I'd be blowing the horn, turning on the flashers, changing the radio station and flushing the toilet (if that is an option)!!
If you like it do it!! Seems like connection that many wires to the electrical system would be a nightmare though.

 

looks exactly like a bmw

 

It says it is from Equus, and it looks like BMW, but looks better as there are more features to it.

 

Custom Gear Shift

Did anyone see this or know how they did it??
