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

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
