  1. Not sure if you heard Blendmount but you can check them out they have a kit to wire most any radar detector to the mirror and they sell mounts also, i have used their stuff on many cars and works great. https://blendmount.com/
  2. Let me know how this works out for you when you try it, would be good to know Chris
  3. Here is my center console before wireless charging install, there is a plug with a white end on it which is a Mini USB coming from the dash which is what you need to have to support the OEM USB/SD card slot in the center console, which is harness number 10 in your diagram IIRC that is routed to the dash and plugs into the USB ports on the dash in the second picture i included, cant remember if its the grey or black one but it doesnt matter as one runs to the dash and the other is the number 10 harness that runs to the console, so you need to see if the ports on the back of the dash have those 2 connections or even just one but another one should be empty, if not then you have another problem and you might be able to replace the usb ports on the center stack with the one with 2 ports on it, but im not getting into that since i have no idea how that works, Hope this helps
  4. MadCow Forgive me for asking but i might have missed a post, what is it you are trying to accomplish? My writeup was about using an alternate piece for the USB ports not a factory look, if you are looking to add the USB/SD Card slots in the center console then this is a different conversation, I was talking about adding more USB ports without tearing the center console out to add the harnesses etc. for the factory look, and I'm not sure a truck without the center console USB/SD Slot from factory can be added, yes you can buy the harness and the USB/SD ports for the center console but i am not sure if the plug under the passenger seat has the proper pinout to support an addon. (Can someone weigh in here on this), if you are intent on adding the ports for the "factory" look then i would get a diagram of the pins of the plug under the seat and compare it with the plug in your truck, if they match up then great, you should be able to add this as a factory installed option, but again I'm not that versed on doing this as my truck came with the center console ports. Also all the plugs on the harness under the center console plug directly into a large plug under the passenger seat which should be removed the get to the plug, the only plug on the harness routed to the dash is number 10, the main harness for the console goes to the seat which is number 11 in the above picture you posted My suggestion if your going that far to add the USB/SD ports to the console and if you dont have the wireless charging i would add that in the process, or just the harness for the wireless charging, the harness i used on my truck which has the existing USB/SD ports in the console if it works the part number from the wireless charging thread for the console harness is 84482759 I would read the thread about wireless charging which might shed a little more light on the subject about what your trying to do. Keep in mind there is harness number 10 as i talked about before in your photo that supplies the USB port to the main harness in the console for the USB/SD ports in the console, so there are essentially 2 harnesses, the main one for the console which has the plugs for the USB/SD. rear seat heaters (don't worry if you don't have them just get the harness it will be fine unplugged if you don't have the seats) and the wireless charging plug for the other equipment, again the wireless charging plug can also stay unplugged if you don't wish to add this option https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/240951-adding-oem-wireless-charging-pad-to-a-2019-2020-silverado/#comment-2435909 Going back to what i was talking about, i did test a standard USB hub plugged into the port on the dash and the hub worked as designed, simple solution but not a factory looking one, just an alternative. Also, i would need to see a parts list of the diagram to determine what you would need, and again I'm going back to this, I'm not even sure if it would work, look at wiring diagrams and pinouts for the harness under the seat and if you have the plug coming from the dash with a USB Mini male plug on the end of it I am all about making things look stock if possible do your homework on this before blindly ordering parts and your best bet is to pull a couple panels off to get a few photos of the pinouts and if the center console has the USB mini plug from the dash Chris
  5. I have been in the Information Tech field for 28 years and when I installed my wireless charging pad the port that is in the console under the cup holders that connects to the harness is a Mini USB Plug, now knowing that, not sure if this would supply enough of power for more then a few devices at once or if your just looking for ports, try buying a USB hub, non-powered, something cheap off amazon and using an adapter from the Mini USB to whatever plug your USB hub has on it and that might solve the problem, I have tested a dumb non powered USB hub plugging into the existing USB port on the dash and i was able to power and charge an iPhone 11 and iPad Pro through the USB hub. If you wanted to hide the hub and cables i would imagine after getting the proper adapter for the Mini USB plug in the console you could shove everything in the console and just plug your devices in that way, Just a thought. Here is the hub i used to test this on my 19 RST Silverado https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087QFM3GF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here is an adapter that would work, the adapter needs to be female on both sides as the plug to the harness in the truck is Female and the plug for the USB Hub is male also EDIT: I posted the wrong adapter and just fixed the link below for the adapter you need a female USB A to male USB Mini, i was mixed up, now if you have USB in the center console with the SD card slot you are going to need what i said plus a USB Mini Female to USB A male adapter to plug the console plugs into the hub, i am NOT sure if the hub will work for the rear ports or not, just putting this out there, if you dont have the rear ports in the center console or at the rear of the center console then i wouldnt worry about this https://www.amazon.com/SaiTech-Mini-USB-OTG-Digital/dp/B00VWTD7CQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=34R5GB5WNSKWY&keywords=mini+usb+male+to+usb+a+female&qid=1646255932&s=electronics&sprefix=mini+usb+male+to+usb+a+female%2Celectronics%2C127&sr=1-4 If anyone needs clarification please let me know i hope i explained it good enough
  6. Got a few of these years ago at home depot, seem to work good i wouldn't use them to keep heavy items in place, but they work well for the truck bed or even a trunk of a car to keep things in place, you can go to the store and check them out https://www.homedepot.com/p/Keeper-Ratcheting-Cargo-Bar-47059/207097432
  7. It charges how fast its supposed to, nothing you can do to make it charge faster, its not a high speed charger, plug it into the USB C port on the dash and it might charge faster, not sure though but i can tell you it is not a high speed wireless charger, none of GM's are that way that i know of. Oh and make sure you order and install the cooling tube if you leave your phone on it for too long i will tell you it will overheat the phone, the cooling tube works great, a pain to get it shoved into place behind the glove box but work at it, took me a little bit but im glad i did it.
  8. FYI i had the same problem just did my add on wireless charging, turned out on the back of the console at the rear vents there is a module plug i forgot to plug back in that plugs in right below the vents that controls the passive unlocking using the buttons on the doors, you can get to it easily even if you put the console back in the truck by removing the rear cupholders and the torx screws holding that in and the torx screw holding the vents on pop it off and the plug is there under the vents. Plugged it back in the Service Remote Keyless Start error went away for me
  9. Any screws will work i just dug around my leftover stuff i have laying around the garage and found some that work, they should not be long screws something just to hold it in place
  10. Love it, i barely touch the gas at a stop and my truck wants to break the tires loose, definately worth the upgrade not just for the auto stop start disable but the throttle response and turning off DFM
