I just bought a 2015 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab and it has the jump seat console and I am wanting to swap it with the full console. After reading all the post it seems like swapping the console out should be even easier since I have 2015. I have all black interior and trim is Synthesis. I am planning on ordering the parts from GMpartsonline. I am ordering the following parts tomorrow. I can't wait to get them swapped out. Am I missing anything? I realize not all the USBs will work but if they charge that is good enough for me.

Installing the physical console is easy, the biggest issue for me was the wire harnesses.

 

Also, make sure you remove the plastic trim on the support pillar next to your gas pedal BEFORE you put everything in. Trying to get it out later becomes a pita. It's not impossible, but its a bit harder than if you do it first.

 

Looking forward to the pics!

I went home at lunch to let dog out and it was there. Haven't even got to open the boxes yet. Can wait to start. Thanks for the info. Also, I friend of mine told me that if you disconnect the battery it might lockout the radio. He said he had problems on GM vehicles in the past doing that and just old me to make sure. I haven't heard any talk about this on this forum. Swapping this in a 2015 I am hoping all the USB ports work. I think I read that might since it is a 2015 and the wiring harness is the same for both consoles. I might be wrong though. It doesn't really matter as long as they charge that's all I care about. Only a couple need to hook up to My Link.

I've had my battery disconnected several times for my foglight project. (bumpers and airbag sensors.. yea.. proably a good idea no?)

 

No issues with the radio being locked out. Plugging the batteyr back in it even remembers the radio station presets.

 

What it doesn't remember is the time or date.

 

Mind you I have IO4 with the 4.5" screen. IO5+ with the 8" may be different.. but I doubt they'd do that.

 

Yea.. I've got 12v going to my usbs but no usb cable. They do nothing right now. Next time I'm in the dash I'll see about putting a cable in there.

I read in this post that there is not way to get the USB on 2014 and below to work with data..only charge. 2015s have both cables so I think I should be good. People have tried to install USB switches and Hubs and no help. Thanks for the info on the battery.

Installed the floor console in my 2015 1500. Check out the pics on my link below. I also put a parts list on there also for guys needing Black Interior with Greyish Trim on Radio which is called Synthesis on the parts list. The step by step directions that darkfox1 posted were great except I did not have to cut the wiring harness out of the jump seat. I was able to disassemble the jump seat cargo box and get it out. Also, the bolts that secure the seats to the floor are T50 and a T50 socket is incredibly handy to have when doing this! Thanks to everyone who has posted on this subject. It really made it easier to do this!

Glad the info helped!

 

I didn't have to cut the harness out of the jumpseat, but I did modify it to fit the new console, and used the new console wire harness to make a "custom harness" of sorts.

 

In hindsight, knowing the LEDs in the console are 12v, I would have wired them into the cig lighter wires so that they work all the time. My console has no lighting in it right now, and I don't plan to ever take it out.. which means I'll probably never have lighting in it.

 

After having my console for a month or so now I LOVE having it. It's like its always been there. The storage benefit is HUGE for me. I carry so much more stuff with me now and have tons of room to spare.

darkfox1 Did you get the interior USBs working. When I removed my Radio I saw that there is a unused USB plug near the Radio. It is the 5th plug from the left. I was wondering if I ran a cable from that plug to the unused connector that came on the new console if it would work. DId you notice this when you installed yours. Here is a picture of the plug near the Radio.

This is my theory as well. I haven't been back into my dash of late to give it a try.

 

I have a spare usb cable from when I cut the harnesses.

 

I think this may be whats required to make the charging aspect work.

 

I also considered putting the 5v line in with a 12v>5v converter, that should give the usb ports all the power they need.

 

You can buy a cheap 12-5 converter out of an old phone charger. I actually have one that does the job. I haven't tried it yet though, I'll only use that if the usb trick doens't work.

you don't have to install a 12 to 5 v converter

you only have to put 12v+ and ground on the usb socket in back .........pin 4 and 6 ....4 is ground and 6 is for the 12v+

for the usb you need to plug it but the place to plug it is not behind radio but behind the lower glove box in the hmi (human machine integration) you will see the usb plug

you need a usb cable with male mini usb to male mini usb (hard to find but it exist or you take to mini usb male that you sold togheter

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      The Peckish Synapse

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.
