Description
Enhance your driving experience with the Integrated Engineering (iE) TrueShift™ Sensory Feedback Paddle Shifter Kit, engineered for select Volkswagen Mk7 and Audi 8V platforms. Designed to restore a more engaging connection between driver and transmission, TrueShift introduces adjustable haptic feedback that helps you recognize approaching shift points through the paddle shifters themselves, without constantly monitoring the tachometer.
Unlike conventional paddle shifters that provide only a physical input for gear changes, the iE TrueShift system uses progressively increasing vibration to signal when the engine approaches a user-configured shift RPM. This innovative feedback system allows drivers to develop a more intuitive sense of shift timing, supporting a more focused and immersive driving experience during spirited street driving and track sessions.
Key Features and Benefits
Adjustable Haptic Shift Feedback
Experience a more connected approach to gear changes with vibration feedback that increases as the engine approaches your selected shift point. This tactile signal helps you anticipate when to shift, allowing you to keep more attention on the road or track instead of repeatedly checking the tachometer.
Customizable Shift RPM Settings
Configure your preferred shift point to suit your driving style and performance goals. By providing a physical cue as the engine approaches the selected RPM, TrueShift helps make shift timing more intuitive and personalized.
Three Distinct Feedback Profiles
Choose from three vibration patterns to match your preferences:
-
Progressive: Gradually increasing vibration as the engine approaches the selected shift point.
-
Fast-Pulse: A quicker pulsing pattern for a more immediate and noticeable shift cue.
-
Triple-Pulse: A distinct three-pulse pattern for drivers who prefer a clearly differentiated tactile signal.
Each profile offers adjustable intensity, allowing you to select subtle feedback for everyday commuting or stronger vibration for spirited driving and track use.
Manual Shift Control Beyond Factory-Locked Shift Points
On supported vehicles equipped with factory transmission control unit (TCU) shift-point restrictions, TrueShift is designed to let drivers override those shift points and initiate gear changes through the paddle shifters. This feature provides greater control over shift timing when the vehicle and transmission configuration support the function.
Purpose-Built Mk7 Platform Integration
Engineered specifically for the supported Volkswagen Mk7 and Audi 8V platforms, the TrueShift kit is designed to deliver a deliberate, integrated paddle-shifting experience rather than the feel of a generic aftermarket accessory. Its platform-focused design complements the vehicle's existing driving controls.
iE POWERlink App Configuration
Adjust shift RPM settings, feedback profiles, and vibration intensity through the dedicated TrueShift page in the iE POWERlink app. This configuration interface allows you to personalize the system according to your preferences and driving conditions.
Designed for Street and Track Driving
Whether driving through daily traffic, enjoying winding roads, or preparing for a track session, TrueShift provides customizable tactile feedback to help make gear changes more engaging and shift timing easier to anticipate.
