Default Center console conversion

I'm doing a center console shifter conversion on my 2018 rcsb. It has the 6spd and I'm going to use boosted grey goose harness. The console I'm using is from a 2019 xlt. There is 2 connections in the front of the console and I'm not sure what they are for.

The connections do various different things I don't remember all of them. One thing I remember is there's a solenoid in the shifter that won't allow you to take the truck out park unless the break pedal is pressed. Other things are the mode change button that's at the base of the gear shift ****. Some high trim level trucks have buttons on the shift lever plate for controlling various driver assist functions. I think there's also a signal that senses when you push the button on the front of the shift lever. On column shift trucks you will hear a click when you pull the shift lever towards the steering wheel. The same click you will hear when you press the button on the front of the floor shift ****.

If you're buying BGG cable he provides great instructions with all his products which will make it pretty much plug and play if you have all the correct supporting parts.

Also the shift cable and shifter is different on a 6 speed and 10 speed they are not interchangeable.
