You'll need to buy the sport auto transmission gear selector. You can find them on eBay for around $250-300. Make sure to get the correct pin connector version as it has changed with newer models

I have found 1 or 2 of those in the last week on ebay. Really hard to find. Mine has a broken Unlock button and I just want to replace that piece.
