Everyone looking into buying the parts needed for this swap may want to give the following website a shot. (www.gmpartsonline.net) I have noticed that their prices seem to be cheaper than all the other GM parts stores online, and their shipping is also cheaper.

 

Also, waiting to see what is found out about the wiring harness that come with the trucks that have the center console from the factory. I would like to do this, but I want all the plugs on the console to work properly.

Ok, so I went to my parts manager here at the dealership. He said 22995070 F-Console has the harness with it but hes not sure the harness will have a place to connect under the dash. You cannot purchase the harness separate as it should come as part with the console.

The console kit comes with a harness. It is designed to plug into the IP harness behind where the ash tray would be. The plug in for the jump seat/short console plugs in below the seat. So clearly some rewiring would be necessary. The IP harnesses are different part numbers so it is unlikely that there is a plugin behind the IP if no full console is factory installed. I plan on adding a console to mine in a few weeks so I'll find out how all of this will work. I think all plugs could work except for some USB plugs. Cannot simply splice USB wire I don't think. USB with console has 2 separate plugins at the K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module.

tbarn - if you could keep us updated and even document the install I know it would be greatly appreciated.

 

FWIW - I just had the parts department call me about something else and the fellow all but refused to even order these parts for me (just a hypothetical as I'm supposed to have access to them at cost). He didn't think any install would work, thought I'd have to buy new seats, thought I'd try to return the parts which we wouldn't allow, and THEN said if they didn't fit I could always decline the charge on my card. Unbelievable customer service there....

Dumb dealers everywhere... lol


just make sure you get a VIN # of a truck with a console that has the exact interior color you have. that way you get the right console. lol.

Can someone help me find my big harness? I did the swap but can not find the plug from the big harness on the console to my truck. I was able to plug in all the small ones.

 

Thanks for the help

So you're looking for where to plug the 42 pin connector from the console into? Don't think there is one.

I don't think there is one either. looks like it would be a whole different dash harness. I'm more and more surprised at how many Unique parts are in each vehicle. You would think they would have one harness and just use or not use whatever they don't need. However I did notice on my non heated seat truck when I pulled the bezel from around the stereo the heated seat harnesses wires were plugged into the plastic on each side even though there are no buttons... :SMH: lol

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift.

Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
