A shifter system assembly for a steering column includes a shifter mechanism, a cam assembly, a solenoid and a park lock assembly. The shifter mechanism receives a shift lever and has a shaft that rotates upon movement of the shift lever. The cam assembly includes a cam actuator lever that defines a first engagement feature and is configured to rotate upon rotation of the shaft. The solenoid moves a pin between an extended and retracted position based on the shifter mechanism being in a “Park” position or out of the “Park” position. The park lock assembly moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position rotation of the cam actuation lever is precluded. In the unlocked position rotation of the cam actuator lever is permitted.
