If you're just after the audio system control you can just get it. ~$100..
ofey can hook you up.. mine is an es, and i just bought it. quick 5 min install.

Yes it is compatible.
But if you are after the audio buttons, it is a 5 minute install job. I even wrote up a DIY guide! You can get the buttons through our club sponsors for about $100. PM "ofey" and ask him.
Here is the DIY I made:

its an interesting question though.. can one with an ES put in the whole-shebang with flappy paddles etc....?

The flappy paddles are separate from the wheel. and I think it should be able to be put in. Not cheap however. you can buy all the bits off JapanParts.com

I don't see the point. No matter what mods anyone puts into an ES or VR to bring it up to a level of a VRX, it's still the same car. Same Chassis, same model code.
I think if I had bought an ES, I would try to bring it up to a level of a VRX but with aftermarket parts, not Mitsubishi parts. It just defeats the purpose, should have bought a VRX instead since it'll be better value for money.

Geez, such a pessimist Ofey... I have only spent $1600 since it was a horrible little ES.. and yay, all of it was non-Mitsu (apart from the stuff you sent me)...
I promise my turbo will be aftermarket too..
This is only my day-to-day car, so i care not if it is not a VRX or Ralliart etc...
I have a Motorcycle worth more than a Ralliart (this is where I like to spend my money)...
But I get your point.

flappy pedals would be fun
if I had spare $$ and no other mods I wanted I'd go for 'em

Does the ES and VR at least have the + and - available via the transmission stick?

by tryg
Yes, they both have the same transmission...
