Part # 33554-50040. It's just a plastic cover, easy to break if you aren't careful, $2.20CAD at the dealership. I used mine several times before I broke the old one and after I got a new one. It helps to move the shifter out of the way when you need to take apart the nav system/cd player area, ie. to change bulbs or to re-route wiring for iPod integration kits.
You can shift to neutral or any other gear you like after you use the shift override button. There is nothing to worry about when shifting through any/all gears while the car is off and not moving.
