2011 Center Console Question

[mecmar44]

Hello, my names Mark and I just signed up on this forum but have been a member of several other gm forums. I bought a 2011 Silverado LT in December and the mod bug has hit me. My Truck came with a jump seat and since I don't use it and would rather have a full center console I bought one off of ebay that came from a 2010 Silverado. I bought one that doesn't have rear audio since I rarely have people back there and to simplify things. I haven't received the console yet but was wondering what all needs to be done in order to incorporate a USB in the center console under the arm rest like the 2011's now have. I stopped by the dealer to ask the service/parts department about it and nobody there had any knowledge of even being able to put a center console in the truck that came with a jump seat.

 

Thanks in advance.

I guess I should have been more specific. I read that post on the USB that Ryan linked too and it seems most of those guys dont have the stock usb and are buying radios that have the usb port on the back. My truck came with a usb port on the dash so I assume that it has that port back there. The center console I bought doesn't have a usb port in it so i was wondering if there is a harness I can buy or something along those lines to put a usb here like in the 2011's.

Why not use the same USB harness from the jump seat? My 2010 has a USB port in my jump seat (bottom storage)... I would think it should be the same thing.

 

***edit***Oops, I just realized it might be a DC plug down there... I guess I have to go outside and check now. lol***edit***

Its definitely a Accessory port down there, and I plan to use that. Just would like to put a usb above it like in the new center consoles.
