This is what it looks like from a bit of a distance.

Judging from this eBay listing I would have to say that mine is reverse tartan.

Do I need to order the extra USB cable? I'd like to get the three USBs in the front to allow charging and connecting to the radio, and the inside USBs to just allow charging.

Great topic. While sometimes I wish I had the extended center console (as opposed to the seat console), I barely ever use the three 12V ports, or the three USB ports that I already have, as it is. I even put a 4-port USB hub inside the armrest ... never used it yet, nor have any guests in my truck, including several long road trips. If you work on the go a lot and need to charge multiple devices, then that would make sense. In my case, not so much. I drive a total of about 15 miles per day, since I take the train to work everyday.

The other thing is, in all of my previous vehicles, that area to put stuff in the center console, just seemed to always get filled with dust and crap, always was a pain in the arse to keep clean and looking nice, etc. - I'll just stick with my seat console. With three cup holders, I usually just use one for my drink, one for my dip cup, and one for my phone - works out fine. In addition, my wife likes to put her purse on the floor up front, center, which isn't possible, if the extended center console is there. She agreed to let me get this truck and she handles the finances ... gotta keep her happy, lol.

to do this you need to plug the 3 usb with connectors and usb that normally plug in the center socket (under armrest)

and no you won't need extra usb except if you want the center socket as charger

for my part i keep the 3 usb only for charging because i'm always afraid to broke a usb key in socket because its location........the one under the armrest is safer for me and also because i have sd car reader in it too ..........i use only sd card in fact for music........more little

I just ordered the GM usb cable from Amazon. Hoping this install will be smooth.

I think it's fantastic that you guys are all helping each other out with all of this shared information on how to do all this stuff, that's great. This forum is second to none. One lesson I learned when I bought my truck (and my salesperson even told me this) ... the less stuff your truck comes with, the cheaper it is, to add other stuff later. She showed me the invoice on a few other vehicles - if a Tahoe comes with the GPS Navigation - the added cost to the vehicle price, is over $2,000. So, I went back a week later, and had it put in my Silverado for $750. I don't know what the center console part you guys are adding, costs on the invoice of an LTZ, but I guarantee you it's a hell of a lot more, than if you buy it afterwards.

Personally, one other reason I like having the jumper seat console, is because you can move it forward a bit, which you can't do with the full center console. My armrest was a little bit too far back for my tastes, and if I pulled the seat back, gas pedal was too far away (I'm 5'10"). So I simply removed the bolt covers on the floor, moved it forward about an inch and a half, and now it's perfect. No one will ever use that thing for a seat, anyways.
