Shifter, Transmission: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

The shifter (04670682AG) has to be a coordinated change with the PRNDM (68286830AD, 68286828AD, 68253107AC, 68253112AC). You cannot mix stock between new shifter NIK (04670682AG-on) & old PRNDM NIK (68286830AC, 68286828AC, 68253107AB, 68253112AB) or old shifter NIK (04670682AA-AF) & new PRNDM NIK (68286830AD, 68286828AD, 68253107AC, 68253112AC). If a mix occurs, upon first power-up of the shifter over CAN, there will be a 2 1/2 minute pause where the shifter will not be responsive and the PRNDM will not be lit the first time the shifter is awake over CAN. This will only happen once due to the shifter flashing/updating the PRNDM to the matching (PRNDM TO SHIFTER) software version.
