Out of curiosity, how are these hooked up in vehicles with factory center consoles? Do those have a different HMI?

Same way. For trucks with them already, the connections are up front. They may not have a glove box USB, so they use the green port of the HMI for one of the USB Hubs data feed and the black port for the inside compartment hub feed.

Placed an order for the console setup back on June 30 from gmpartsnow and the order status is still "On Order" with an ETA of N/A. Haven't heard a word from them though my card was charged.

 

Update: It shipped today.

20 minutes and counting of trying to disconnect the plugs from the existing 110V plug. My thumb is bloodied and ruined and getting nowhere.

The release on one of the plugs is hidden by the other plug. So have to remove the one side that you have access to first.

You almost have to use your finger nail or a small screwdriver to push the release in.

Thanks man. I got everything hooked up.

 

USB ports inside the console have power but not media, says no USB connected.

 

Also I didn't put the side panels on before the console was in place so I might have to loosen it back out and put them on.

Did you connect USB cables to the hubs? They are needed for USB Data Logic.

Yeah, black to brown from the output of the 2-port hub on the front of the console to the brown connector inside the console. if I disconnected it the ports inside the console lost power, but they never had data.

So this is from the Front HUB that feeds the inside compartment hub. What about from the HMI to the front hub? Should be either a black to grey or green to gray? If you don’t have a cable from the HMI to the front hub, that’s the missing input link.

There's black to gray from the HMI to the front hub. USB drives are working fine in the front hub of the console. I'll look at it more later today.

 

Unrelated, do the side trim pieces go on before or after the top piece?

There have been reports of the front hub not passing the USB Data Logic to the inside compartment one. We don’t know why. In this case, you’ll need that green to gray cable. If you have a Glove Box USB, you’ll have to omit that. Then use that port to feed the front hub. Then the black to Brown will go directly from HMI (black port) to inside compartment brown port.

As for side trim black skirt panels, they go on last. If you’re having a hard time with driver side, it’s most likely because you didn’t remove the plastic covers on the driver side metal Support brace.

The “Hook” on the driver side panel hooks onto metal. The plastic cover pieces that are there now block the hook. You have to pop those off.

Thanks, I have the old plastic from the driver side taken off. I haven't even tried to install it yet, though. Gonna pop the top back off and double check the connections.

What doesn't make sense to me on that. Is my inside and outside pass Android auto and carplay fine. The inside one however does not pass USB media.

That’s ingesting... if the both pass car play, then USB Data and Power are working... hmmm..

I wonder if its an issue with the inside hub not getting enough power? Carplay, etc just need a data connection since the phones themselves still have battery power so they work, but USB drives aren't getting enough juice to power on the device and get recognized. Just a thought.

Possible however, that port will charge my phone with out issue and the usbstick i put in there lights up. I havnt tested the aux jack in there either. There should be a way to wire the glove and the external and internal usb. At least one user here had a bad usb port up front, but with his scnario he had nothing working from the rear.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
