It is working. To verify, I shut off bluetooth on my phone, ejected data card, so the only input I have is the lightning cable from my iphone plugged into the USB port.

 

The cable I specified above is color coded with a green end to match the green input (port originally used for glove box USB cable connection) on the HMI, and a grey end for the port on the rear of the triple USB. More importantly, the angled notch is on the correct side for each plug, so there is no trimming needed and they snap in solidly.

 

Son of a gun. well I'm on my way to the dealer for a different reason , but I am going to confirm again that the way mine is setup is not communicating , as well it may be and i'm just daft..... but if its not i may pull the trigger on that cord. my only hesitancy is yours is a 2016 , mine is a 2015. can't see there being any difference in the HMI programming for that particular port ? i never did test , but i imagine your glovebox port also communicated with the radio before removing it....? or did you try that prior. makes me wish i had of now. guess its an easy pull it apart and try

My glove box USB did work with the radio.

I did not splice those two together. I used the red and black wires only from the USB power plug off the new harness. I believe TBarn stated in an earlier post that the other wires (blue, green, purple, and gray) weren't used for anything. I spliced the (red and black) with the (Purple/yellow and black) from the 12V plug as well as the (brown/white and black) from the LED wiring. Then I connected those two single leads to power and ground. I didn't want to splice into the existing harness at all for warranty reasons.

 

So I have one lead that powers the LED, additional 12V plug and Triple USB port in front of console. For the Data portion I used the cable listed above AC Delco 19303284 to run from the Triple USB to the HMI. I didn't want an additional connection involved with the data transfer, and everything snapped together like OEM.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Is that delco cable something dealers carry, or an online-only purchase? I tried a mini USB trimmed in the back of the triple USB and still only get charging capability.

 

Also, I used the existing front cig lighter for constant power but it touched the ground while the wire was stripped. Can't find a blown fuse and these fuse panels are a pain to interpret. Now my LED doesn't work, even though I spliced the brown/white wire to that same front cig lighter, which makes me wonder if I just zapped the fuse. Anyone have any idea which fuse to check (maybe passenger side)? Checked most of the driver side fuses and they look ok, even though they are hard to read IMHO. Otherwise I'm thrilled with a successful mod.

I found the cable online. I think I ordered that from GMpartsonline, so I don't know if it is something the dealer would stock.

 

The fuse is likely located in teh passenger side. I know that is where the USB fuse is located. Boy that side was a real bear to get off the first time. Seems to have loosened up a bit after that.

 

I am still confused as to why I get data transfer, but no Apple Car play. It just doesn't seem to recognize the iphone, but it plays music off it. I checked part numbers and the USB ports have the same part number for 2015 and 2016 on the center consoles, but I thought someone stated that 2016 models didn't have the SD card port on them. Not sure why they would have the same part number if they made a change like that. The triple USB is the same part number as well.

Mine is a 2015 so I don't think I ever had car play. As difficult as it's been trying to get the front USBs working with seemingly logical solutions and non-delco cables from the HMI to the front USBs (something I tried), it doesn't surprise me that there are capabilities like Car play that folks can't conquer.

 

I'll look forward to prying off the passenger side and looking at those fuses. I had a Nissan truck in college 20 yrs ago and those fuses were a LOT easier to read if they were blown or not, unless I'm reading them wrong.

Ok...the console is in. Rolled a donut on the front USBs....no data or charging. So it seems the generic USB cable I used is junk. I'll be ordering the GM cable to give that a try. All else is working great and very happy with how it came out. Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion and made the work easier for the rest of us.

For those of you going the other way and getting rid of the console, here's a cheap way to cover up the missing carpet where the sub-woofer was mounted. WeatherTech is the only company that makes an over-the-hump one piece front floor mat. Husky has the 3 piece version, but it looks terrible. Feels and looks so good not having that huge console in the way.

Got my jump seat pulled today, harness yanked out, the rest of my parts should be in Tuesday. Going to have an extra top trim in Synthesis w/o cup holders if anyone is looking for one. Has the 220v outlet, but can be swapped for your 110v from your dash, was going to swap mine over but ended up getting a different colored trim piece.

I did this mod last summer and have all working. I used the USB connection that was inside the center compartment and used that for the front USBs. Straight plug and play. For the center compartment USBs I took the center dash apart and connected the GM USB cable to the one free USB I saw and connected it to the brown USB connector on the console wiring. I spliced both the existing console wiring from the jump seat and the new wiring from the console together. I have everything working just fine. All

the USB ports. Charge and send data to the HU, both power ports work and the 110v port works.

hey everyone, I drive a 2015 Sierra with gray leather. I really want to take out my jump seat and have a full length console installed. I would never attempt this myself and wouldn't even be comfortable ordering the parts on my own. Is there anyone anywhere near Charlotte, NC who would want to make some money doing this for me? I can't find a dealer who will even get the parts for me.

 

Thanks!

Ive read through this entire thread twice. I have 2 different places that will help me install, but no one is willing to stand behind ordering all necessary parts.

 

I have gray leather seats with black doors and dash and wood trim on a '15 Sierra, but would be ok with a black console and white stitching since it would match the dash. Is there anyone willing to help me locate the parts?

I just finished the swap and would like to thank those ahead of me for all the information.

 

I used these part numbers

 

23467113 Upper trim panel in Synthesis

22776807 Console assembly front bracket

23467516 Side trim

22817347 Side trim

23466980 Console

19303284 Cable from HMI to USB

 

I have a 2016 2500HD LT model with black leather seat. The cable I used is a perfect match to the HMI and USB(3) ports. I used the existing harness for the rear ports, and then salvaged the LED wiring, a 12V plug, and USB power plug from the new harness. I spliced the three together and connected them to continuous power at the fuse panel on right side. I then removed the glove box USB cable and used the open port on the HMI for the new cable to the triple USB port.

 

I have everything working including data and charging at the USB's. I originally had Apple carplay in the original configuration, but that no longer works. I think it might be due to the new console and the ports that are installed. Carplay wasnt' available on the 2015 models, so it may be the configuration of the hub built into the ports. I found another console 23466999 which I believe is for the 2016 models but I couldn't confirm that. I also preferred having the SD card slot over the carplay feature.

Everything in the post above yours here should work for you other than the trim panel which has synthesis for the trim. everything else is the black console with white stitching, and black side trims with front bracket and USB cable to go from the HMI green port to back of triple usb port on panel.

 

You can contact one of the online retailers listed throughout this thread and give them your vin # to have them look up what trim you have and then get the appropriate trim panel. I ordered most of mine through this website -

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
