An arrangement for controlling gear positions in a car includes a console having a wall, and one or more sensors arranged in connection to the console wall. The arrangement additionally includes a gear lever and a code device constructed to interact with the one or more sensors.

The arrangement can further include an arm by which the code device is pivotably secured in the gear lever.
