perhaps there needs to be a balance .... if mmztimelord is willing to stick his neck out then I say "bravo"

oops, I guess I'm the one cluttering this thread up now



on the topic of the crossfire wheel you have access to, I appreciate the offer; however, I would like to see this on the car in order to check how the paddles will be placed as I would like to supply a template for modifying the wheel. This will require [me] seeing the relative position of the wheel to the levers. Along with a quick look behind the airbag to make sure that both the steering wheel reinforcement structure is and the switch interface will be the same for the crossfire and the slk32 (I am trying to keep this part of the kit completely plug-n-play, so making it fit both keeps the cost down (ie, closer to my target).

in so far as "all the bells and whistles" I am still going to make this available as both MODULE ONLY (for those who want to waste 20 hours of their own time to integrate this set-up) and ... COMPLETE KIT. The complete kit will include the module (connectorized) with 3 harnesses and hopefully a useful template for wheel modification. The 3 harness will be connectorized as well; one for the shifter, one goes up to the K40 module (and includes an inline fuse), and one is the interface between the horn and the paddle switches in the steering wheel (similar in function to the Mercedes switch module used in factory paddle shift cars) .

The timeline is soon. Perhaps within 2 weeks. The only hold ups at this point are finding or creating a decent how-to on the floor shifter signal tapping (which i may do this weekend) and getting a good close look at a crossfire (Up till now, I've only caught quick glimpses of them and then, right away, they are in my rearview mirror getting smaller ) (sorry guys, couldn't resist)

bottom line ... We should be able to get you set up in time.

I will send you a PM so we can exchange more details.

This will include the electronic module plus all of the harnessing and is set up for a mostly plug-n-play installation. For hard core DIYers, I will sell the module separately as well.

I hope to have a complete set of step by step install picks for an SRT-6 shortly (for the steering wheel mod, the floor shifter mod and the harness install).

paddles, as I have mentioned before are the AMG paddles, MBZ #1712670046 . They are $104 shipped from OE Discount Parts or $99 plus shipping from parts.com
