Adding Paddle Shifters?

Does anyone know if there is a way to add paddle shifters to a non sport G37? With my 325ci, you could get the M3 paddleshift steering wheel and connect the harness to the tiptronic and have paddleshifting...Anyone try this out yet? It might be my first mod if all it requires is buying a steering wheel (like the BMW). Can someone with paddle shifters take a couple of macro close up so I can see how they are attached to the steering column/wheel etc. I want to check to see if my base has the realestate and pre existing wiring to get this done.

Does the non-sport have the LCD gear display in the dash cluster when the Paddles are engaged? Does it have the DS mode with the shifter?
That's a great DIY for the paddle installation.

Yes, every Auto comes with MM so it will show what gear you are in on the display.

I took my steering column apart tonight and as Jason said, before he left Riverside Infiniti, the base model does not come pre-wired for the paddle shifters. I am soooo bumed. i wish there was a wireing solution that would let me do this. Does anyone know where the wires terminate on the non-paddle side? Maybe I could scavenge the harness from a wrecked 35...?

Talked to Tony from Infiniti of Riverside today. If you want to add paddle shifters your G37 cannot be a Base model......Journey or Sport only....and it must have a auto adjustable steering wheel. Kit goes for $200.
