4th genner installs manumatic. Can we?

Here is the quote from the 4th genner who installed manumatic for his 4th gen.. Im just wondering if the 5th gen guys can use this? ---------

I've been driving with my manumatic controller for the last 2-3 weeks without problems. It took a couple of days to get used to putting my right hand on the steering wheel rather than the gear selector.

Overall, it really like it in normal driving. For really tight turns though, it's easier to have the up/down on the gear selector like the Z or g35c (since the steering wheel buttons move).

Here's a link to the original thread:

Anyways, I've got 1 unit to sell for $300. If you are interested in the mod, you need to be very comfortable with wiring and soldering. Here's a link to the installation instructions:

Installation Instructions

In the previous thread, many people expressed interest but I only have 1 extra unit (and I may not make that many since it takes a long time to put the kit together) so here's a link where you can put yourself on a waiting list.

Waiting List

To finetune the instructions, I might take up local owners first (bay area CA) and help with the installation.

thanks,
rob

That is very interesting.....I'd think we'd be able to install such a thing into any car.
