A shift system and methodology for use in relation to the automatic transmission of a vehicle is provided. The system includes a paddle shifter arrangement adapted to be operated by a driver to manually and selectively shift the gears of the transmission. The paddle shifter system includes steering wheel-mounted or hand-held paddles to allow the operator to make upshift or downshift requests. The paddles comprise a mechanical switch, a transmitter, and a conventional power source. A computing module capable of interfacing with the vehicle via the Unified Diagnostic Services protocol is provided. A number of components are installed on the module to support device functionality. These components include operating components, flash storage, display driver and communication circuitry. The system includes a wireless communication system that allows the user to link the paddles and the computing module. A display indicates the current vehicle gear and gear requested by the driver.
