As stated above all fly by wires can have this added doesn't need to be just syvecs

Ecutek can do this also heard it's a pain for day to day driving though

Did you know the flappy paddle was invented (or more-so popularised) in racing, not for shift speed, but to save space in a cockpit and remove the need to house linkages alongside the driver and pass through a firewall/bulkhead to the transmission. And the driver still had to manually rev match - Just thought I'd throw that in.

Doing it for disability needs though understandably may mandate the requirement for it.

maybe so, but they still shift faster and also took away gearbox's breaking constantly during rallying
