Glad I’m not the only 2020 with no plug. It is gone. I tapped into the wires going to the cup holder lights. Don’t remember colors but used the 2 outside wires on the plug. Used a test light to find power and ground. I cut, soldered and put heat shrink on mine. Here are a few pics. Only complaint is my P is not as bright the rest of them.

How about a shot with it installed and showing the lights?

cool. Kinda lame they cut that out in a 70k vehicle. Those should be lit and indicate which position you have it in. I keep throwing it in manual on accident. Kinda miss the L pattern in my Toyota that prevented shifting into manual on accident.
You can always watch the dash indicator when shifting.

Found this pic. I see that the light bar from factory has a black plastic cover that is hard to find. I’m thinking that if I put electrical tape over bottom of light bar it will probably make the light brighter. Thoughts? Will try to do this tomorrow after work.

Added electrical tape to back of bar did not change brightness. Noticed I glued mine about 1/2 inch off of pic I found on web. Maybe that is it or voltage on my tap? I quit for now.

I like your garage floor! It looks exactly like mine. :cool:

Just to be clear, yours lights up, but does not have a separate color to show the position.

I don’t think they show the position. It lights up but is not super bright and the P is darker.
