I've got a manual car but I don't believe that has anything to do with a transmission. Just a guess though.
Do you guys have manual transmission cars? I think that plug is for the auto shifter... At least that was my best guess when I came across it when I had the console top off.
I followed the instructions to tap the power lead near the driver's footwell. The ambient lighting is only on when the headlights are on. I am not sure but if you tap the circuit where the automatic transmission harness is, it may be on all the time or when the car is on regardless of the headlights.
The harness in the console has the keyed source - I wonder why the instructions want you to tap in in the driver's footwell?
It might be keyed but that'd mean it'd be on all the time the car is on, not just when the lights are on ...
Sorry it is $270 for the lighting kit
The center console is $256 (top half of it)
Cupholder $19
Button $24
And I think the harness is $160. This has the clear ring that goes in between the console and the cupholder. It has LEDs attached to it but I couldn't make those work so I just taped the ones from the lighting kit to the clear plastic. Works ok.
I had to get the upper half of the console with the square button hole opening and the cup holders since this is now 2 pieces. Then another part to get the ring and the button itself. I cut the wires to the round button supplied in the kit and wired the square button to the same wires and it works ok.
The ring comes with LEDs attached to it, however, I couldn't make them work with the kit. So I did a low tech approach, I took off the LEDs from the ring and just taped the ones from the kit on each side. It may not be quite as bright as the stock but still works ok.
I don't know the exact part numbers, I worked with a local dealer (Harris Ford, Lynnwood, WA) on this.
