Maybe I'm a huge nerd, but bridging the geek to gear head gap one step at a time.

If you need a digital display on your shift **** to tell you what gear your in, then you have no place driving a manual. But that is just my 0.2
The end all be all is that it your car and as long as you like something then go for it

Babblefish.com is the ****!! Sounds like all it does is suggest gears to be in for better fuel consumption. Here is the page translation.
"The engine speed has a crucial influence on gasoline consumption. The INDY CATOR supports the driver to reduce consumption by appropriate driving fashion over up to 15%.
Transmission up to six courses (except with shift levers with reverse gear locking) and is appropriate for all only conceivable gear changes.
A photo-sensor in the INDY CATOR adapts the brightness of the digital display over an automatic Dimming function to the environment light and so always provides for optimal readability. The INDY CATOR of GAS LOCK is available in different variants and can be adapted to each interior problem-free. The installation to the electrical system of the vehicle is just as easy as the programming of the INDY CATORs with simple instructions. We drove once with the INDY CATOR, thereafter without this additional feature in its passenger car any longer we would not want to do so. Experience it!"

My only question is. What the hell, are they thinking? We have to look down at the shifter to see what gear we should be in? Plus does it have a learning mode for modded cars, we all know a modded cars fuel compumtion pattern changes from stock?
I don't like the idea of having to look down all the time to see what gear is should be in according to this little shift ****. It would be better it you could hook up a display on the dash or A-pillar. But that's just my $.02

In fact, a sequential is the ONLY actual function this thing would have. I know the rally, touring and GT cars with SMGs have a dash display to inform the driver of the current gear.
