The shifter is mounted next to it as standard, the arm is available separately as an accessory (RGS) or in the larger package (Deluxe V2 + RGS). I recommend you try it out like this first. The standard version is enough for me because otherwise the stand becomes too unwieldy for my taste. The cable length depends on which steering wheel you have and how you mount it. Just measure it yourself. Otherwise you can also extend it.
