I prefer driving manual, but now you're making me want to do a trans swap...
Very cool.
Do you have something for interior lights ? At night, I always need more time after engine cutoff to get out of the cabin : I have to remove my radio faceplate and iPod whenever I bring it along, then put in my safety code. It takes me almost two minutes before I open my door.

I have a light dimmer, sold almost 100 units mainly to members of the German 7-forum and the E34 board there, some to Canada and USA. Fits on E34, E32, E31.
installation instructions from the German forum

For some reason I cannot view the videos but whats the purpose of this setup?

Looks the video is dead. The purpose of that module is to slowly start the light dimmer and then getting brighter and brigther till full power is reached, and the dsame way from bright to low.
The same light it is nowadays on modern cars.
and some switches for delay in switching off the lights in the interior, such as
switch 3 ON 3 Switch 4 delay timer
OFF OFF 2 sec.
OFF ON 4 sec.
ON OFF 6 sec.
ON ON 8 sec.
Actually not necessary to drive the car, but many people asked us to make such a unit, so we made it
Like the interior light with an LED block with cooling ribs

Oh thats neat. My E34 already has the illumination but it doesn't do fancy stuff. Does this unit do all the interior lights like that?
