Not tiptronic as such, just away to tell the computer to put it in what gear you want and when, or basically changing from 1-2-D etc via the steering wheel. True tiptronics will cost you an arm, leg, and a few pints of blood too. Most of the cars that have a proper one installed have it as a factory option, an option that usually cost twice what most soarers are worth! My dad's neighbour got the tiptronic option on his ferrari 360, only cost an extra $38,000!!!

Or... you could pick up a 3-spoke tiptronic Lexus wheel plus a matching single-stage Lexus airbag , then wire that into your Soarer airbag ECU and an aftermarket tranny ECU (various types out there) ??
