Sequential conversion to auto box - Sideways

Has anyone any info on if this can be done? I have a Honda CR-V with auto box and I was wondering if it's possible to interrupt the electrical signal of the auto changer to 'force' the box to change when I want it to - especially to change from 3rd to 4th. I'm not too bothered about making it change down the range when slowing down. Kickdown works fine for overtaking etc. If I could take control I'm sure the current 30mpg could be improved upon.

Many thanks
Andrew
PS. I'm also looking to add central arm rests - sadly I have the LS not the ES model and I can't find any seats in a breakers - any ideas?
