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

Just wondering - why do people not like the bench seat?  It seems like it has most of the functionality of the console other than the fact that the box isn't as deep, but there's still a locking space under the center seat.  Seems like you're just missing out on an extra seat, plus the ladies like the bench seat.

For starters, put some change in the holder on the lid. Or pens/pencils. Now try to open it up to get something out. Not so good. Or try to put a can of pop in a can cooler in those small cup holders. Better yet try a medium or large cup of coffee or soda from McD's. There may be 3 but they are too small. As for the ladies,  I'm 65  and married so that ain't much of an issue.

Yep. When you have the harness out, inspect the existing 6-pin that plugs into the USB Hub.

Pin 6 (power) and pin 4 (ground) is the Splice to power up the other Hub. This, along with a USB cable feed from the HMI is all you should need to get a hub working.

Hi all,  I'm wondering if someone can help me.  I am looking at a new 2017 or 2018 truck, but would like the front bench seat.  Most inventory I see has front buckets.  I know I would need the jump seat, but what other dash pieces would I need to make this work?  

 

I did this swap on a 2002 and it wasn't difficult.  These newer trucks have more electronics and I'm not sure what all I would need.

 

Thanks.

I've done this swap 3 times now. Besides the actual jump seat, you'll need:

- The front half of the floor carpet 

- Dash compartment 23177893 (that number is for cocoa)

- 3 screws that hold the dash compartment 11609456

- Trim pieces to cover the metal brace under the dash 22817747 & 22817748

- Lower insulator 20944557

- 110 volt outlet can be taken out of the console and used in the dash compartment.

Also, you'll have to remove the wiring from the console and do some splicing and connecting to the jump seat.

Ill have a jump seat for sale soon so keep an eye out, and depending on when you get your truck might be able to work out a trade for some parts.

If I recall, in mine, the Blue USB port (from the HMI) went to the back of the radio. I’m presuming you are just needing to get USB charging from the USB ports of the console?

I don’t know much about swapping out units without some sort of programming. I know that HMIs need programming, but again, not 100% on that. Is your console a 14/15 console or 16/17? One way to tell is if the front USB hub is triple or dual USB and if the inside USB has an SD card slot or not.

If you look at the back of the USB Hub, (for 16/17 hubs), there should be (2) USB Ports and a 6-Pin Connector. The Hubs needs to have a USB and the 6-pin connector in order for it to work. Because it is a hub, it has chip components that require powers. The 6-Pin connector provides the power while the USB provides the data connection. On these Dual USB Hubs, one of those USBs ports on the back is an input and the other is an Output.

Front of console USB Hub. Right side needs a USB Input (from HMI). Left side is an Output (can feed the Inside Compartment USB Hub)

This is the Inside Compartment USB Hub

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
