Exclamation Is it possible to install paddle shifters in a G500? HELP

hi there, i was wondering if its possible to install paddle shifters in a G500 or G55. its just so disappointing how they never had them, but instead has the + and - on the gear shifter. If so, how much would it roughly cost? i believe there is a way to relocate the + and - feature to the steering wheel. Thanks!!

if you search thru the W208 forums, there have been a few guys that have figured a way to wire up the center shifter's +/- to paddles on an updated steering wheel. it's pretty involved, but it has been done.

Do a lot of lapping in your G wagon?

I don't get the fascination with steering wheel paddles. If you are on a track, sure, gotta keep your hands on the wheel. For any other purpose, leave the automatic in automatic mode?
