Abstract
A shift-by-wire system comprising one or more touch sensitive displays, a memory, one or more processors, and one or more modules stored in the memory. The one or more modules are comprised of instructions executable by one or more processors to display a gear selection indicator at a predefined region. The gear selection indicator is displayed in a predefined region as instructed by the transmission control unit. The processor detects a contact with the one or more touch sensitive displays at the predefined region corresponding to a gear selection indicator and determines a gesture performed by a user to associate the gesture with a gear selection. An output signal is then transmitted to the transmission control unit corresponding the gear selection and affects a vehicle transmission. The newly selected gear is then displayed via the gear selection indicator on the predefined region.
