did you get it? pics.

 

No but i plan on it!

 

repost...but good to see it again

 

it looks good, but I dont think it is worth 169 bucks

 

does it actually work ?

 

Very useless, you should know by feel, if you don't then put it in neutral... please dont look down there while driving...

 

lol that would be cool at first... but get annoying after awhile. Plus I love the feel of the stock **** when shifting

 

lol cool, but i don't think i would want to look at the shifter while im driving.

 

looks cool, but all gimmick

 

here's a video of it being used : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f2cN...eature=related

way too gimicky for me, and god damn look at the throw on that shifter it's on.. lol

 

that's the MS STS

 

Goofy

 

if you dont know what gear your in you shouldnt be driving a stick.......

 

Awesome.

I agree with the editorial. Its pretty cool

REgards

 

useless. it's gimmicky. i also have a newer Acura MDX with voice activated nav. it's great for calling people. I can say "call home" and it will do it. but they also gave you the ability to say stuff like "radio off" or "radio on". oh pleeeeeeeeease. the **** is right there under my finger. it's almost a joke.. so i can push a button, THEN tell it what to do, (maybe it misunderstands me and I do it 2-3 more times)... OR I can just push the real button once. stupid. but some people must think it's really cool to talk to their car and have it do what they want...

whatever...

just get a regular shift **** if you want one. i prefer the little ball style shifters. they fit great in your hand.

 

the more useless stuff the better. people don't need it, they want it. same with many and all things.

 

Probably will look cool at night

 

That's going to be bright and obnoxious when trying to drive at night.

I do wonder how it tells what gear you're in.

 

^
Does this remind anyone else of something you would see in the original night rider, esp. when the thing sits in neutral it looks like the red light bar ?

"What is it, Micheal?"


This is a total guess... but do you think it has something to do with the angle that the **** rest at?
Like leaning forward and slightly left would be 1st - leaning back and slightly left would be 2nd. . . etc?
This logic works until Reverse... which confuses me

 

It's either a balance...or you gotta wire the damn thing up somehow.

Either or, I'd be too afraid to get it as I'd just stare at it as I'm shifting, while seeing it switch numbers I bust out into a giggle fest.

 

you have to wire it for power. you have to teach it what 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc are. then it knows from the angle of the shift **** where its at.

as everyone has said, you should already know what gear you are in. but i think one should already know what gear they are in without looking down to the shift **** or feeling it. they should know by what rpm and speed they are at.

"3k rpm, 14 mph? oh thats first." etc..

 

that would be perfect!!
If you were trying to teach your girlfriend how to drive a stick

 

Yea, have a manual Noob look down to see what gear ......................smart .......

 

So, you have to wire it for power. . . and then program the shifter?

yea, that seems like a totally fun idea.


EDIT:

Okay, just my opinion. . . but this thing is really stupid and no one should buy one.
