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.

fair enough, keep me posted with that one you get. im going to put leather in mine wit summer with armrest mod and i may put a heated seat bench... its only like $50 for some of the cheaper ones off ebay.

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
