Center console swap?

[DESERT DOG]

Finally got mine in. Went good but I waited to check everything till it was all assembled. Seems I don't have any USB but everything else works. Work on it next weekend hopefully it will be a little cooler out.

Looks awesome, my next mod.  Where did you get the console?  Been looking at several of the GM sites and it seem that GMDirect has the cheapest so far.

I got mine from my employer. Even with employee discount it wasn't much cheaper than gmpartsdirect.

Got it installed. Everything works like factory. Phil thanks for the harness! It made the install very easy and straight forward.

Anyone have a GREEN to GREY cable they don't need and are looking to sell? I may have found a way to get every port and the AUX input working.

I bought a cheap mini USB female to USB female adapter on Amazon for testing. I disconnected my inner USB hub (the one that wasn't working) and used the adapter to connect a USB flash drive directly to the Output of the front hub. It worked.

(This part wouldn't be used in the final setup, it was just used to verify that connecting a flash drive directly to the Output on the back of the Front console USB hub worked).

 

So both hubs are connected directly to the HMI. I verified this worked a few weeks ago, but it means the Glove Box port has nowhere to connect to, however with this testing I should be able to connect the Glove Box to the front Hub and have everything working. There isn't a specific part that I can see that would do this, but they're just Mini USB connectors so a generic cable should work, would just need electrical tape or something to keep the connections secure.

 

This means I should be able to run:

 

HMI -> Front Console Hub (Green to Grey cable)

HMI -> Inner Console Hub (Black to Brown cable)

Front Console Hub -> Glove Compartment Port (generic Mini USB extension cable) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015HKPDAE?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=HJVW9D9NJGNQETAPW9T4

This is interesting. I am not sure why the loop out of the front is not driving that USB Data logic to the inside compartment one.

This tells me that there might be some internal hardware differences between these Double Port Front - USB hubs.

What I still don't understand is how use media doesnt work but carplay and Android auto do. Doesn't make any sense. I have spare cables here so I may venture down this road too.

Found this on Amazon:

this should run from the front dual output to the glove box USB.
