Shifter Knob Orrefors swap revival discussion

[HugoRS10]

hey all,

New to the forum. Although I've been lurking in the background. 

I see some older threads around shift knob swaps but I wanted to create my own thread to see if things have moved on since the 2023 conversations once had. 

I have a 2022 T8 Recharge PHEV and I want to swap my R-Design Plus leather shift knob for the crystal Orrefors one. 

I have orbit already and can make any confg changes if need be.

My question is, is this shit knob swapp I'm proposing  simple and straight forward or is this not been done before? The other threads talk about a cable shifter swap with a drive by wire but I think these two shifters I'm referring to are "the same'

pictures attached for reference.

The replacement is possible, however it will be necessary to remove the logic board from the current knob and replace it with the board from the crystal knob, representing a complete hardware replacement.

If you wish the crystal knob to be illuminated, you will need to adapt a 12V power supply from the board to the LED harness.
