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?

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

tbarn any chance you ever figured out about that other harness that the trucks with the factory center console installed would come with?

 

the harness from the radio to the harness in the console.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
