I always wanted a RCSB with buckets and a center console...   Received and installed mine yesterday. Very straight forward, thanks for all who posted instructions and part numbers.   Possibly to h

Finally the console is complete now ready for the install and see what other problems I run into

Couple of beers :)

the whole ip harness? not just the center console.

 

the ip harness is what theis one will plug into, i assume a large amount of the dash will need to come out including the deck to be able to swap it.

maybe it is just a couple of beer job.

The whole dash. Probably everything in as far as the heater case. With what to gain? Everything will work with a little wiring except full function of the usb ports. Changing the harness will not help that.

swapping a console and make it full functionnal except the 3 fronts usb ( only for charging) will take you about 3 hours total including the wiring mod

 

but for sure you don't have to swap the ip harness

only have to modify the wiring in the new console

Can you send me a link to the wiring mod you are talking about?

i kinda want all the USB's to functionproperly, but honestly its really not needed because even the 1 USB plug i have now i just use to charge and bluetooth for media.

Everyone wants all usb working but, to make them working properly, you need to change radio, hmi, à programmation but GM can't reprogram it. So too much costly for nothing. I'm thinking of removing mines and use the hole to put the seat warmer switch instead when I will install my heat pad in my seats

I just wanted to let everyone know that I did the center console install last night and it worked as described in all 22 pages of this thread. To those who contributed, thanks for all of the information, it was very helpful.

 

Now I just need to get the second front 12v, the front 3 USB ports, and the console light powered. A project for another day for sure.

 

Thanks again!

Complete IP harness.

I have gone threw all the pages several times again. I still can not find the part number for the extra sub cable you used. Also what kind of price was it. Me splitting the usb didn't work so I'm going to run what you had. Finally where doe the use plug into the hmi at?

19303328. Plugs into the hmi module. You need to trim the connector to fit into the module. I think it is a green connector on the hmi.

So how do you get the front 3 USB ports to work or at least charge.. Are you splicing them to them the original jumpseat harness or are you using a usb 2.0 splitter cable to make them work??

From what I understand the way that barn did it. You must order a new sub cable and plug it into your hmi. Then run a hot and ground to 6 pin connector. I just ordered mine so we will see how tough it is

yes it is

 

i didn't buy another usb cable, because it will only feed the signal to let the usb charging , i took the second usb cable and i cut the end that didn't match the hmi and i had another usb at home so i weld it to my first one

 

you don't need to shield the cable as the oem one but it is better

 

usb will only charge and not read music but if someone install another radio than the oem and have more at least 2 usb , he can make all usb in console working,

i'm thinking of it

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
