Got mine done this weekend. Came out great. Thanks for all the contributors on this forum. I don't have USB functionality on the front 3. I did Bilsteins, Console swap, and Katzkins. It was a lot to take on in one sitting. I thought it would be easier to knock out the Katzkins and center console together. Looking back, it was enough work that I probably should have done the jobs separately. The console swap isn't bad, but combined with Bilsteins (3 hours) and Katzkins (12 hours), it was overwhelming. As far as the console swap by itself, I followed the directions in this thread and had very little trouble. The wiring is easy, but you have to think, plan, make sure everything will fit, etc....Make sure you have a good soldering iron, shrink wrap, and wire strippers for 20 Gauge wire. Someone could write down a super detailed description about wire colors and exactly what to do, but it's mostly intuitive. Basically completely remove all the tape and salvage the USB cable from the jump seat. Unplug the console USB and let in hang in place. Plug in jump seat USB in its place. This will plug in to the harness under the seat as it did before. Cut 12-14 inches off the jump seat harness. Solder all similar colors. There will be two extra (purple and yellow 14 gauge I think) on the jump seat harness side and one on the console side for the light (20 gauge blue and red). Tape up the purple and yellow. They will not be used. Salvage one cigarette lighter harness from the jump seat and cut with 8 inches of wire. Cut the ashtray cig plug where you have enough room to solder/splice it. Solder the additional cig lighter harness to the existing one along with the 20 gauge light wire. I think I had to extend the light wire with some salvage wire as well. Now, where there was originally one cig plug with full time power, you will now have 2 cig plugs and the console light in a three way splice. This gets everything but the front USB's working. I ran out of parts, brain power, and patience to attempt this. So inverter is plug and play. USB under lid is plug and play. Rear cig, under lid cig, audio are fixed with the soldering of the harness. Additional front cig and light are spliced into existing cig.

New User to this forum. Just stepped down from a Duramax and bought a 2015 sierra CC. I plan on swapping the jump seat for the console. This thread has all the information I think I need. In reading all 30 pages, I didn't see anyone post a part number for the Jump Seat Wiring Harness. Most people are salvaging it out of their truck and stating how difficult it is to remove it. I tried to look on the GM Parts websites and couldn't locate the P/N and price or even determine if it's available. If it is $20-$30, it may be worth the time savings to purchase an additional Jump seat harness and leave the harness on the Jump Seat for the next owner. You may recover the cost difference when you sell the jump seat or still have it if you want to swap it back out. In Summary: Does anyone have the part number for the Jump Seat Wiring harness? Or did I miss it in this thread elsewhere? EDIT: I think I found the part number. Not sure if its the exact fit. There are several different part numbers. I would guess they are all the same, especially if we are just harvesting one end of the harness. http://www.newgmparts.com/oe-gm/23200571 They are all around $50. Probably worth it if you can leave the full jump seat complete and either pass on the cost if you sell it on ebay or keep in the event you want to swap it back.
