I'm not sure if this should go under Miscellaneous or Transmissions, or...?
Vehicle: 2014 Chrysler 200 Limited 3.6L Pentastar V6, 62TE trans, factory equipped with Autostick
I've been poking around in Editor and see mention of "autostick" on the Fuel Cutoff RPM Limits tab, but can't find ANYTHING about paddle shifters anywhere. This vehicle didn't originally come with paddle shifters, but I'm hoping to be able to install them (using all factory parts, just waiting on a new steering wheel bolt and I'll be ready to install them.) I know it can be done on Charger & 300 models (I'd imagine Challenger too?), and most people seem to mention using the Tazer by Z Automotive, but they don't make one for the car I'm working on, not to mention that I'd rather not fork out a few hundred bucks on another OBDII interface device just for one feature.
So the questions are:
1) does the VCM Editor and/or MPVI2 with Pro Features provide a means to enable factory paddle shifters in cars that didn't originally come with them?
2) if so, what section of Editor is it located in?
3) is it necessary to enable them, or would they just work once plugged in?
4) does the dealer need to add the sales code to the database before they will work, and can they even add it since it wasn't offered as an option to my knowledge?
Worst case, I'll wire them into the autostick switches the old fashioned way, but I'd definitely prefer to be able to just activate them.
Thanks,
Nick
