    That sucks man. Mine came with 3 different adapters. None of them really fit to be honest. Had to modify and cut a little off one of the adapters to make it fit and dab a little glue. No big deal. If i have to pull it off. The glue will come off bc its glued on the shiny metal shifter. But all in all im happy with it. Not like its a manual. I just touch it once or twice while driving

    As for my knob, I went with a black and chrome unit. Ill show install pictures in due time when I finish my "custon Center Console" project. I am waitng on several parts shipments still for various interior parts= I want to get those fitted and see how the overall look is progressing before I order anything else. I do not want to trash the car up by over doing things

    That's not standard. Mine came with the 6 cassette holder too. You can find them at the dealer for cheap.
