I have a theory that I want to see if anyone can confirm or deny, or if anyone has already done it.
My 2016 EX-T Sedan does not have paddle shifters, and I am looking to add them. I have a part list (below) of everything I need I think, except a modified TCM. My theory is: Is it possible to use a TCM from a Civic model that does have the paddles, for example a 2016 Hatchback Sport, and simply swap it into my Sedan? I believe both the sedan and the hatch have the 1.5L Turbo, and the same CVT, so it does not seem to be risking damaging anything I wouldn't think. How does the TCM interface with the ECU? How about the Dash in terms of showing what simulated gear you're in?
Also for reference, I have done some digging around the web and on CivicX.com and found 2 related threads, but neither have what I am looking for, unfortunately.

*Sidenote - This eBay post makes me thing that it would be interchangeable as it says it is compatible with all Civic models 2016-2019, including ones with and without paddles.
*Edit
For what its worth, I messaged the seller on eBay about the part linked above. I asked how it could be compatible with all models. Here is his response:
"Hello. Yes the TCMs would be different since they came with different engine sizes so their ratios are different. TCMs we have mostly came off of a 16-18 civic sedan with a 2.0 engine"
