Paraplegic Driving a G35 with Menox Hand Controls

This video shows how I drive my 2006 Infinity G35 Coupe adapted with Menox Hand Controls. In this video I also show how I operate the "Auto-Stick" mode by a switch on the hand control handle. If you are interested in these controls you can check out http://www.drivingsystems.com/Menox.html and find a dealer in your area.

so the shifter on the car looks so manual , do automatics on infiniti look just like MAN shifts?

@spartanturtle333 It still shifts like an auto...I just added a leather shift boot and a different shifter handle.

@rapidfire1991 Yes, I think they sell these in the UK but you may want to research it. There is a link in the description of this video you can check out.

Hey Brian, I just wanted to tell you that I think your videos are amazing! I am 18 and have spina bifida. I am technically considered a paraplegic, but I can move my legs pretty well etc. Anyways, I will be learning to drive soon, so your video on driving and transferring gave me a few ideas for myself. I was just wondering though if you went through a certified driving rehabilitation specialist for your modifications? Thanks again for the amazing videos!

@klgrose2012 Thanks! Glad you like them. Yes, I had to go through a few sessions with a driving instructor at my outpatient rehab center and then test at the BMV to get my license to drive with hand controls. Then, I took my car to a mobility dealer that sells modified vans and other equipment to have the controls installed. I think they have to be installed professionally but I could be wrong. Good luck!
