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

[mention=159655]pgamboa[/mention] is your plug & play kit going to be for a console with 2 front USB or 3 front USB?

As of now, it should accommodate either. The 42-Way Connector that is in the front of the full console is what my harness will plug into. This essentially feeds the USB Hub in the storage compartment. I plan to pig tail of that same 42-way connection and make up a 6-pin connector at the front where this will plug to either a Dual or Triple USB Hub at the front of the console.

 

What will Be will be required from the owner, is to land the USB cables to both hubs. This will require color coded USB cables that come from the HMI Module and/or the USB from under the passenger seat.

 

As it stands, there is (1) USB cable from the jump seat harness that should be used to drive (1) of the hubs.

 

Then we need to factor how you want to drive the 2nd hub. Since jump seats **should** have a Glove Box USB, we need to decide if we want to have all (5) USBs working. In my truck, that’ll mean - 2, 2 and 1. 2 in the storage compartment, 2 up front, and 1 in the Glove.

 

There are several configurations to this based on the options, years, etc.

 

My presumption... is that for 2014/2015, the USB connection will provide power and a “source input” for these years. For mid 2016+, you’ll get power + Car Play (if your Vehicle is equipped).

 

For 2014/2015, you’ll have 2 and 3 (+SD Card and Aux). 2 USBs in the storage compartment/SD Card) and 3 USBs up front.

 

Hope this make sense... the idea here, is to make it “easy” and as “PnP” as possible. What would be on the owner to do is land some USB cables.

Wow, I'll definitely interested when you get this together. I'm not electrical savvy by no means but I can land some USB cables if I have a part number or link to order from LOL

I am a few days away from fully testing this. I personally have a jump seat in mine. I spent today getting the circuits wired up for:

Charging Lid
Compartment Lamp
4th - 12V Cig lighter

Tomorrow - I should have terminals coming for the BCM. The last circuit to run is the Wireless Charging Indicator. This is the icon the shows up when your phone is charging.

Phil,

First, thank you very much for sharing this information and doing this for us.  I hate to be the one to throw a monkey wrench into the mix, but my truck seems a bit different.  It is a 2014 Silverado LT 4x4 with the jump seat from factory.  It has an audio port, two USBs, SD Card slot, and one 12v cig inside the jump seat console.  The rear of the jump seat console has another 12v cig outlet facing the rear seats.  The dash, next to the ash tray, has another 12v cig outlet and a 110 three hole plug.  There is NOT a USB port anywhere in the glove box upper or lower sections.  

 

The new console i have sitting in my dining room does not have the SD Card slot - not that I have ever used this anyways.  If you are located in Dallas, I would love to come up there from Waco and let you supervise my console install.  If this isn't possible then I will give it a try solo this weekend using the splice method.

 

Thanks,

These are the differences between the 14/15 and 16/17 options.

2014 / 2015 Trucks:

Up front -
(3) - USB ports up front (This is a Hub)
(2) - 12V Cig Lighter
(1) - 110V Outlet Plug

Inside Compartment -
(1) - 12V Cig Lighter
(2) USB / (1) SD Card / (1) 3.5” Aux (This is a Hub)

Rear -
(1) - 12V Cig lighter

2016 / 2017 Trucks:

Up front -
(2) - USB Ports (This is a Hub)
(2) - 12V Cig Lighter
(1) - 110 Outlet Plug

Inside Compartment -
(1) - 12V Cig Lighter
(2) USB / (1) 3.5” Aux (This is a Hub)

Rear -
(1) - 12V Cig Lighter


The install will be almost identical in terms of how the USB Hubs are driven. The two Hubs will get their USB Cable feed from the HMI. The HMI is behind the upper Glove Box and will have a Green USB Port and a Black USB Port.

Each Hub needs a Gray USB Cable for the input. So, you’ll need to get a Green to Gray USB Cable, and a Black to Grey USB cable. This will go from the HMI to each Hub Receptacle. In addition, each Hub needs a 6-Pin connection. You’ll already one of these 6-Pin connectors present in the jump seat harness. You’ll need to splice a 2nd one in.

If you’ve taken the Full Console Harness Out, you can harvest another 6-Pin Connector.

What I’m working on - is a PnP harness to eliminate the need to remove the Full console harness and simply plug in my harness to the front of the Full Console :).

I would glad host you at my house with this :). PM for timing.

**Update** - Got some correct color coded USB cables and able to have all (5) USB ports working!

(1) - Glove Box
(2) - Front of the console
(2) - Inside Compartment of Console

Getting close to being 100% fully functional.

Wireless Charging only needs power and ground to work. Can be tapped by existing power and ground

Look at pages 74-76. I have a picture of them labeled.

We sat in that Home Depot parking lot for all that time and neither of us thought to just go inside for some connectors to hook those wires up!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
