Hand Controls for Disabled Drivers Handicap Driving Hand Controls Driver Aid Equipment/Brake Pedals Assist High-end Device Kit with Steering Wheel Spinners (hand control for disabled drivers black)

When I first saw this design a year ago, I rode the fence since then about putting one of these in my van. When this dealer ran the discount, I asked my stereo/car parts installer if he could install this for me. He asked for the instructions, there were none. So he said to order it, he looked at the photos available & when I got it, I took it to him. It took him the better part of the day but he got it done w/o having to go get any parts or supplies. This isn't something I could have done, but for the run of the mill anything-car-related installer, it is absolutely doable for them. The parts are VERY STURDY. The shifter itself is very sturdy & not plastic, as it appears. It's metal & the rods/brackets are all well made, heavy & sturdy. The bracket that goes under the front seat that keep the shifter arm steady is REALLY sturdy, as you can see in the second photo. After the installation, I went to a large parking lot & got my brain acclaimated to the push-to-brake pull-to-accelerate mode of driving. It's MUCH like driving my Pride scooter, but at a much larger cost if I get confused & pull when I'm supposed to push. It's imparetive to stay focused when you're learning your brain to react correctly; the brain has been reacting w/ your feet for decades. But each time I get in the van it gets easier. For me, setting the "button brake" is still a work in progress. I still use my foot to brake when I need to put the van shifter into P for Park or D for Drive. I don't trust it yet, but that will come. If you're on the fence about whether to get one of these, just DO IT as soon as you can. I wish I had done this 2 years ago. MS has affected my feet's ability to "feel" the pedals all the time, so I've been scared about those "sudden stops" for a couple of years. This is not something you have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars to a Medical Supplier to buy for you & install, I got quoted $3000 to $5000 to do this to my van, everywhere. They're ordering these & making LOTS of money installing them, so they make it scary to order & have installed yourself. It's something any car/stereo/truck installer can do, it's no more complicated than installing shocks on a vehicle. The suppliers want to scare you from having it done b/c they make SO much money doing them. Your insurance companies, your State & your mortgage holders don't care, I called them all. But you will need to find someone not "scared" to tackle something like this, there's NO liability on their part, unless they do it POORLY. No more liability than installing shocks or U bolts on your motor. I just wish I had done this SOONER. The dealer is VERY nice & trustworthy. There really aren't any instructions, but your installer should be able to figure this out. If they can't, don't let them do it. Find another one who can, you'll thank me later!!!

As others have stated, this kit comes without ANY instructions. You're on your own or at the mercy of somebody who knows their way around a workshop. The main control handle itself is reasonable well built. The lever latching feature was a bit sketchy, and I didn't feel safe leaving it on. But it's easy to remove. You are almost guaranteed to have to fabricate brackets to make this unit work - hardware and brackets are provided for attachment to the pedals and seat anchors, but these are not made to fit all vehicles. The main bracket that is intended to mount to the seat anchors is intended for vehicles with vertical seat mounting hardware - my car has horizontal forward-facing mounting bolts, so an angle adapter had to be made. I had to modify the accelerator pedal to get the brackets to fit, and had to fabricate a bracket to mount the brake hardware. Some sort of stabilizer will be required at the front of the main mounting bracket - without it, the assembly won't be rigid enough to positively activate the pedals. In short, it can be made to do what it was intended to do, but be prepared to put in a fair bit of extra engineering.

Easy to fit and non damaging to the leather steering wheel on my car. With a torn shoulder muscle this small piece of kit has made the world of difference. It sits comfortably in the palm of your hand when turning low speed corners but the low profile means it is unobtrusive when having to use the steering wheel with both hands. The ideal answer to give you total control of your car at low speed at a very reasonable price and child's play to simply slip onto your steering wheel as an aid to cornering and can be used for either left or right hand use.

Not to hard to figure out but hardware is questionable at best hadvto hit hardware store for correct hardware. After installed love how well it works

This control works great! It has given me my freedom again to go places. I am going to purchase a second unit for my other vehicle. I highly recommend this item if you can no longer use the foot pedals in your vehicle.
