Yea, my bad.

Tbarn, you seem to be very knowledgable regarding the console swap. Can you explain to me the purpose of the mini sub cable needed for the hmi module to wherever it needs to be ran? Thanks in advance

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

My experience is this. Upon applying 12v and ground the the front usb ports they did nothing. I added the usb cable and now they will charge but not communicate. Seems as though the outlet is turned on via the usb cable. Anyway that's how I remember it from over 1.5 years ago. I don't think I have ever used any of the front outlets. Usb, 12v or 120v. 2 usb and sd in the console is plenty for me. Plus I added wireless charging to the lid so I don't need charging. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/169848-3-coil-wireless-charger-install-in-2015-sierra-denali/

As far as the mini usb cable, I have seen tbarn and other members say that they have used this, http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-19303328-Original-Equipment-Cable/dp/B00S0ERKIS, as the cable connected to the hmi, but the connectors need to be trimmed to fit. Although at this point, I am still unclear of the purpose of the mini usb cable that plugs into the hmi. Maybe someone can explain it.

Yeah that's the one.The online GM parts sites have it for around 13-14 bucks

Edit: they seem to want as much for shipping as the cost of the cable,Amazon it is!

I am close to ordering the parts needed to do the swap. Before I do, would anyone in the Mid Atlantic area be interested in trading their black center console for the jump seat w/console? I have the bench seat in black leather. My Z71 dbl cab has 350 miles. Let me know soon if interested.

I like it, More info on what you did to make this work, please...

 

 

Im assuming you are using bluetooth to send audio signals? did you make the iPad bezel yourself?

Yup bluetooth. used an ipad slide in kit from fifieldfab.com and glued it to a double din kit from amazon. Used body filler and kitty hair then the ususal paint process. Opend up original screen and glued it to the thing that holds the ipad. (Ipad is removable) charges from the plug that was in center console. All original functions are there.

Can the rear part of the console be removed easily? I want to mount my DVD player module in there if possible.

So,I struck out with gm parts direct,everything in stock but the console.Same thing with gm parts online.

Just ordered with gm parts headquarters,good prices too.Thanks for the tip nolabell

Hopefully it works out this time.

I was told by gm parts online that the console is a discontinued part even though it's sitting on the lot in a brand new truck and my dealer says gm has them in stock in Lansing Mi.I hate to pay what the dealership wants for it though,

 

Sorry for the rant

I am curious how hard it is to remove the rear panel facing the rear seats as in the pic below:0f180e3eb13be1e11eabd77e41e5e8c6.jpg

 

Part 22 is the one I am curious about.

Don't quote me but I think it is just snapped on like other trim pieces and secured with two screws in the lower recess,Someone else could probably give you a definite answer though as I haven't tried removing one,

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
