Default Anyone?
If there is anyone in Utah (I’m in the SLC Valley) that knows how to do this swap on a 2018 limited let me know. I will pay someone to do it for me. I have done different projects on my vehicles but I wouldn’t trust myself to do this one.

Funny, my shifter does not light up at all on my 2018 Lariat with 502A.

I know this might not be what everyone is looking for but less than $50 more like around $30 you can easily install smart type system less than 20 minutes and have a Lot more control.

JUST a thought

I have completed the cup holder, area above the glove box, and the foot wells front and rear. These 6 were really easy to do. I bought the pieces to do the doors and I will tackle them this weekend. This is really easy to do. I will probably do a write up when I am done. The information about which parts to order is not 100% accurate. I wound up ordering a bunch of parts I didn't need and a couple were simply the wrong part. But the work itself is easy. I would say the Forscan part was the hardest part and it wasn't that bad.

For clarity: Its not the shift **** that lights up but the little letters next to it.

Understood, yes, that is what I meant. My letters (ala gear indicator) DO NOT light up. Strange.

I'm about to order an '18 Lariat so I'll be looking forward to your writeup and accurate parts list.

Yes, it would be nice if someone could post the parts list compilation with the accurate numbers and how many of each.

Hmmm, then I guess I have to get to the dealer. Ugh.
Or I could tear into myself. I will check YouTube for vids on the console area.

That would be most excellent if you did a nice detailed write-up with pictures and Correct parts needed!!!
