Center console swap?

TightLines612 · April 25, 2014

Glad to see you got the console taken care of. Is my understanding correct that you did this with the "bench seats"?

Nice job I just got mine in today we'll start the install tomorrow ... Did you get all the USB plugs to work the one up front and inside the console?

Interested in hearing how it goes. Please let us know what you find out on getting all of the plugs working.

I really want to do this! Are those 4 part numbers everything needed? How does it attach to the dash? My dash has the little pull out cubby. Does that trim come off? How did you reconnect the plugs on the front and are there plugs inside the lift up console part too?

That is the part numbers you will need,, the pull out cobby comes out open tray one screw there and two at bottom then it we'll come out .....the front of the console will slide in the cubby hole as for the plugs I had the jump seat with the usb in the console I toke the wire harness out of my old console in pluged it to the plugs up front of the new console still working on the plugs in the new console...

My old console under the lid there was two usb, sd card reader, 12 volt charger, and aux port I removed that wire harness off the old console. I used that harness to plug in to the 3 USB ports on the front of the new console. Under the lid of the new console there is two usb, sd reader, aux, and 12 volt charger.

Like Wade, I was able to have my auto body install my console last week. They also removed the wiring harness from the jump seat and used it to get all of the USB/12v/110 outlets to work on the front of the new console. They were also able to get the 12v inside the storage compartment to work (it is hot with the key on only). Unfortunately, they were not able to get the SD/USB slots in the storage area to work nor the 12v on the back of the console (for rear seat pass.). I'm sure some more technical savvy individuals, or a car audio specialist, could get these to work.

It looks like Wade was able to provide you with the part numbers and I did not witness the install due to work related travel so I can't be much help...... I love the console and if you have the money to spare and some time it is well worth the upgrade!!

I'm no wiring guru but can you not tap into the other 12v to get power to the rear one? Or write the new sd to the old spot it was hooked to or where the harness you used was hooked to?

Yes, I assume that is all possible but unfortunately, I had a body shop do the work while I was traveling so I wasn't able to see the wiring setup or harness configuration. I'm sure someone with a little wiring experience could get everything to work without burning the truck down to the frame!

Good luck!!!

What were the prices through dealership, body shop? Its about $500 all together from an online store but im leery of ordering from somewhere like that (gmpartsnow.com)

Going through the dealer to buy the console will cost u more.. If your parts guy is nice he could sale it to u at wholesale ....my dealer did got the whole console for 600 ordered it on a Monday had every thing in on Thursday ..if I don't get home from work to late I'll take more pictures of the console.....also there is a wire harness that comes all ready installed on the new console ..that wire harness is pluged to the sd / 12v / usb on the back part of the console....in a truck with the console already there is a wire harness that come out of the dash and plugs to the console..trucks with out the full console dose not have the wire harness coming out of the dash...I'm working with my parts guy to find that wire harness ....so every thing can be plug and play....I'll take picture of when I get time to show everyone....if we could get someone who bought there truck with the full console to chase them wires down to se were they go in the dash that would help a lot ....

I think you should be able to use the harness already there to use the 110 and one of the 12v... then just tap the other 12v into the other and then run the usbs to a keyes wire.... those would only be a charge only and wont be able to play music from them but thats what the arm rest usbs could be used for. Then everything works
