Yes you can change them Panels yourself, and buy panels from the dealer or buy panels that other owners are selling... Its vary easy to change panels...

Note: make sure your car has the Free 2.0 firmware update, and remember the first sign of shifting problems, to get it to the Dealer for a NEW Clutch ASAP... Its a problem with 2008's...!!! There is a New Improved Clutch for this known problem...; ▶ Reply to This

Is there any way to tell what firmware I have? I watched a youtube video and one of the things they did was switch to gear mode from drive mode by just hitting the paddles. Is this a 2.0 feature ?

Thanks for your help!; ▶ Reply to This
