Overview
DSG made shifting faster — and took the physical connection to the car with it. TrueShift is iE's new paddle-shifter kit for the Mk7 platform, and it brings that connection back: paddles that build a rising, adjustable vibration as the driver approaches a shift point they set themselves, so they feel the moment to shift instead of watching for it.
Details
HAPTIC FEEDBACK, BUILT TO A CHOSEN RPM
Vibration intensity rises as the driver approaches a self-set shift point — a physical cue that arrives before the eye ever needs to check the tach.
THREE FEEDBACK PROFILES, FULLY ADJUSTABLE
Progressive, Fast-Pulse, or Triple-Pulse, each with its own intensity — subtle for a quiet commute, cranked up for a track day.
OVERRIDES A LOCKED SHIFT POINT
Even on cars with factory-locked TCU shift points, TrueShift lets the driver override them and shift on their own terms — from the paddles alone.
BUILT LIKE IT MATTERS
Engineered specifically for the Mk7 platform rather than adapted from a generic paddle add-on — the press feels deliberate, not bolted on as an afterthought.
REQUIRES POWERLINK
Configuration and adjustment run through the dedicated TrueShift page inside the iE POWERlink app.
