Just finished my console swap on a 2016 Sierra. I opted to loose the upper glove box USB in favor of FULL Functionality of all the other USB outlets. Including Carplay. Ordered the AC Delco part mentioned earlier (pic at bottom) and used it in place of the glove box cable at the HMI.
A few things I found out during the install:
-On the original jump seat harness, the large purple/yellow wires are ignition controlled. Don't tie in the white/brown led wire there.
-There are enough plugs between both consoles that you shouldn't have to get the pins for the pin 4 and pin 6 power issue. On that 6 pin, I only useb the red, black, AND BLUE.
-You can remove and install the console without removing either front seat. Slide the passenger seat forward, fold back the carpet at the seam, and there are your plugs. Plenty of room to slide the plugs under the seat rail as you remove the console.
A few photos. Hope it helps answer a few questions.
I cut open the new console harness back to where you see. I remover the USB cable (brown plug) and 6 pin plug. I ditched the usb cable. Keep the 6 pin to use later.
brown usb removed
Take the left over 6 pin plug and splice it into you origional jump seat harness somewhere around the origional 6 pin plug. I only connected the reb, black, AND BLUE wires. The other wires there are for the 3.5mm audio jack that the forward usb outlet dosent have. Sorry no picture for that. I then ran it to the front of the new console. While your running that wire forward, also run the white/brown led wire with it.
I then took the jump seat harness, cut one of the 12v plugs off and wired it as seen in the photos. Word of advice, again, dont tie in the the white/brown led wire here. However, if you would like the wireless charger to work, do tie in the SMALL purple/yellow wire here. Tape up the unused light green wire. I also taped up the unused 12v plug too.
Take the 12v plug you just cut off and splice it in to the forward power outlet that was already present on the truck.
I also tied in the white /brown led wire here.

I then unpluged the usb cable that ran to the glove box (green plug) I plugged in the Delco plug and ran it to the center console. As mentioned in previous post, make sure to run it through the new forward console mounting bracket.
