2024 XLT - Paddle shifter harness choices

[BigBruce]

As far as I know there's two main options for the harness to add paddle shifters to a console vehicle, my question is which one is best?

Option A: "CSS Automotive lighting solutions"

Option B: "Boosted Grey Goose "

@BigBruce The wheel looks great!

I'm going to guess that not too many folks have done both options and could give a truly objective answer.

I can say that I went with Option A (CSS) on my 2025 XL, it worked flawlessly and was extremely easy to install. The team at CSS were very communicative, easy to work with, and seemed eager to help (not that I needed it on this one).

I bet the Boosted product is a great option too.

Here’s an update:

I initially ordered from css, and after 3weeks they never emailed/ or shipped they said the delay was due to shipping costs and said it would cost more to ship, then refused to ship to Canada. a month after ordering they refunded my money.

I then ordered from boosted grey goose and I received the harness two weeks later, the instructions are very well written and I will be installing it soon.

I would avoid css if possible.

I will update this once it is installed.

I tend to agree. I placed an order with CSS and can't get a response from them. No emails, chats etc.

Going to try calling next week but very frustrating.

I was just about to order from CSS as boosted grey goose seems out of stock for now, but being from canada also, I guess I'll wait for the BGG to be available again!

The wait for new stock doesn’t seem to be that long and the shipping is fast!

Timely thread, since this is on my list. I was going BGG just based on overwhelmingly positive feedback here.

Did you get instructions with your harness? I did not and I have my whole console torn apart trying to find where this harness plugs in. The shifter itself is a thin lever-lock, and the console harness is shaped differently with more pins. All the videos and resources I've found online so far do not cover the 2021+ models. Up to the point where I found this thread, I was beginning to think I was shipped the wrong harness, but mine looks exactly like yours.

Thanks for any help!
