Someone just posted a thread about retrofitting this to their W124. It didn't seem that bad, but did require a donor car at the junkyard.

The brake interlock won't let you shift out of Park unless the key is on and your foot is on the brake.

Looked up that thread; cables and the likes for our car seems like fun, but ripping out the entirety of the interior to do so, or snaking it through the crevices (as much as my screen name implies), I think I'll pass on the interlock for now. At least, until I rip out the dash for the vac pods when they all fail.

What about just updating the shifter surround and the euro shiftgate? are these drop in mods?

I assume the wood has the same slide in design.

Thanks,

Carlen
