yes the cupholder is include, i know i received my plate today ,

the one i got is synthesis ( gray carbon on the side) , for christmas i give to myself the 4 inserts (synthesis) for my doors to match the console

i still don't know what i will do with seats.......they are light gray, cloth not leather, belts and lowers seat plastics are light gray too..

i was thinking about keep belt and plastic light gray and install black clothed seat covers (not a slip on but an OEM) with heat pads for winter with a nice switch where the 3 usb are, anyway i need only the usb under the armrest not much

what you think ?

How hard is it to remove factory console/jumpseat for the new console install? Do the seats have to be removed?

How hard is it to remove factory console/jumpseat for the new console install? Do the seats have to be removed?

pretty easy.

only need to remove the passenger seat to access connectors for jump seat/console

no need to remove the belt from the seat,,,,it will be enough long to place the seat on the ground

seat have only 2 torx bolt at the rear to remove , lift up the rear then remove the seat

jump seat have 4 bolts only to remove and 2 connectors to unplug

you need to modify the console harness ( connectors aren't the same) so keep the usb (end to end, no cutting) from jump seat and the big connector ( keep about 6 inch of wires with connector)

then if you are handy you will understand,,,,,,,,,if not , ask someone to avoid an error or a potential fire experience lol

console need a bracket that you will install where the cigar tray is ( remove cigar tray)

then you will need 2 bolts 1 inch long 6x1.00 metric to fix console to bracket

it's about that ,,,,,,,,and everything will work except the 3 front usb but you can use them for charging

The bracket you refer to, is it #22776807? Do the 2, 1 inch bolts come with bracket?

no but it will cost you about 50 cents at any hardware store, and you can do everything and add those bolts later,,,,,just not install the plate yet

Got my console installed finally (mostly). Had to do somewhat of a hurry up job so I didn't get as much documented as would have liked though. The install of the console is pretty easy. Removed the right front seat. Two torx bolts, unplug electrical connector and lift it out of the door. Left the seat belt connected. The bolts are in the rear. lift the rear of the seat to unhook the front. 3 screws to remove the ashtray/storage compartment. Install the bracket in that location with screws already there. Four bolts ( under covers ) and two harness plug ins to remove center seat. Physical installation is straight forward once the old stuff is out of the way. The electrical install is a little challenging but not too bad depending what you want to work. The new console comes with a harness but there is nowhere to plug it in. You can use the original front IP harness to connect the 110v outlet and one 12v outlet in the front of the console. I jumped 12v and ground to the power outlet next to it. I have not yet gotten the front USB ports working. It is a work in progress although I'm not all that confident it will ever work. The USB, audio input jack, SD card outlet and 12v outlet inside the console all work using the harness out of the old seat/console.The inside light needs to be wired to power and ground, and I did that. I think now that I have been through this. I might do it a little different the second time. Probably take both harness out and make one complete harness prior to installation.Frankly I don't need all those USB and 12v outlets anyway. I look at those front USB outlets as a challenge though. Overall I'm very happy with the install. Cost me $575 w/tax at 10% over dealer cost (employee). But that included a USB cable and an accessory tray (highly recommended) . you will need 2 bolts to connect the console the bracket. 6mm thread I think. 10mm head standard GM bolt.

CONSOLE 23466995

PLATE 22995086

PANEL 22817347

PANEL 22817349

BRACKET 22776807

ACCESSORY TRAY 22817343

THE CONSOLE, PLATE AND PANEL PART NUMBERS ARE SPECIFIC TO MY TRUCK OPTION CODES/COLORS

When you wired the light in the inside of the console, did you get it shut off when the Los is closed.. I had all my connections working, (except) the front 3 usb connections, but I noticed that my lights stay on while the truck was running, so I spliced the to connections that run to the sensor and now the 22v in the console and the 12v in the rear that I spliced together don't work.. I haven't found a blown fuse yet, so if you got yours working correctly I would sure appreciate the help in how you got your led light to work correctly ..

I don't remember exactly how I did it. It's been about 8 months now. I do know there you just need 12v and ground. 12v goes to a white with brown striped wire. Then through the switch and then to led. The ground side of the led is black. There is only 1 wht/brn wire from the large connector that was not used. apply 12v to it. You'll have to trace the led ground (blk) wire from the led and ground it. That's all I can remember for now. I may trade for a '15 soon and will have to start over and reinstall to a new truck.

Thanks, does your light stay on all the time as long as the truck is running, or did you wore a switch to it to turn it off and on , or did you get it to work like it was designed to and when you close the lid it goes off.. Like I said I had mine working but when I went back to splice it to the sensor that makes the light turn off when your close the lid , everything that was working off the splices now don't work at all.. I don't know if I blew a fuse or not. I looked but could tell..

if the light stay on it means that you run the 12v directly at led or the switch is defective........when done correctly you should have only 1 extra wire (if you cutted the harness near the big connector) and this extra wire you have to connect it to a 12v source

i connected mine to the 12v+ that goes to cigar lighter inside console .....so it have no power without key on

but you can also connect it to a live 12v+ so you will always have light , key in or not , but only with lid open.....not close
