Note: I won’t go over how to remove the steering wheel to your charger since there are a few how to’s on how to do that. It will be required if you have the steering wheel bezel for the column shifter. Also make sure that you have all the parts needed including the column shifter cable. The floor shifter cable will not work with the column shifter.



1.Start by prying off the plastic pieces for center console shifter. Make sure that your vehicle is in park with the emergency brake on just in case. The last thing you want is your vehicle rolling when you swap out shifter cables. (I’m not quite sure with the electric shifter since my vehicle is a 2011).

2.When you have the center shifter console piece removed you will notice 4 10mm bolts that keep the floor shifter in place. Use either a socket set or an electrical or air socket set to remove the 4 bolts.

3.After removal of the nuts the shifter will be loose. If you notice on the front right hand side of the shifter you will see the shifter cable attached. All you have to do is pull it out which will require some force.

4.Next you will have open the center console compartment and remove the 4 8mm screws that hold the center console in place. After removal of these screws the center console should be loose enough for you to remove the floor shifter.


5. Once you remove the floor shifter out of the center console you will notice a 6 pin harness attached to the floor shifter. Go on ahead and disconnect it as you will need that 6 pin harness for the column shifter.





6.Putting the floor shifter aside, you can start by using the 6 pin harness from the column shifter and plug it into the 6 pin harness from the vehicle wiring harness. Go on ahead and turn on your vehicle and test your column shifter and make sure that it goes through all the gears as it’s suppose to. If it doesn’t then it will require some additional testing to make sure that everything works correctly. For me, the 6 pin harness from the column shifter matches and works perfectly like factory. Note: After testing the harnesses you will have to extend the wires out in order for it to work. I used some 14 gauge wires I bought at Walmart and worked just fine for me. All you need to do is match it wire for wire and rather solder or use any method your comfortable with to make sure the wires have a permeant connection.

7.After testing you can now proceed to dismantling the speedo bezel by removing the steering wheel from the vehicle. (Note: I won’t be going over how to remove the steering wheel.)

8.Just like doing a 4.3 screen to 8.4 screen swap you’ll follow those same steps in order to remove the steering wheel. You’ll need to remove the dash panel and lower dash panel out in order to remove and replace the steering wheel bezel and replace it with the column shifter version.

9.After removal, you’ll need to cut off a section of plastic that is on the right hand side of the steering wheel in order for the column shifter level to come out.

10.After removing the plastic section off there should be open space for the shifter lever to come out.


11.Next up, you’ll need to remove the dash bezel off in order to position the column shifter unit plate with the two holes that are located next to the vent on the left hand side of the 4.3/8.4 screen. Once you have removed it, the fun part comes were you will have to position the two holes that are on the frame with the shifter plate to match them up. Once you do that, I would recommend using two bolts, screws or something to put them in place. Note: This was the hardest part of the conversion process because you have to line it up just right.




12.Once you have it aligned get your drill and depending on what your using to bolt on the plate to the frame make sure that your drill bit is long and not short. Otherwise the drill will also start scaving away into the dash itself.
