I actually found the complete overhead console on eBay. YES eBay ! I purchased the complete console and install took about 2 minutes. Pull hard on the console, starting on one of the front corners and disconnect the main power bus connector. Connect the new unit, pop in place and your good to go. I think the parts guy at the dealership is full of crap.

 

The main connector is the large black connector on the left/center. The plug on top was for the seat belt light for the passenger side. I had to remove it from my original console for the new one.

So simple my wife could do the install.

So all the connectors were already there from the factory?? If you don't mind asking how much did you pay and is there anyway you could give the rest of us the correct part number so that we may order!! Thanks!!!

Actually I won an eBay auction for that complete setup that I posted in the photo. My dealer said I would void my warranty, but the install was so simple anyone could do it. The only thing needed to add to what I won in the auction was the seat belt light for the passenger, which I took off of the original console that came out of my truck (connected to white plug at top of photo).

When I originally purchased the transmitter, the buttons was a separate part #, there was no wiring for the transmitter and the console itself could not be modified for the transmitter. You would have to find the complete console IMO to make it work.

As far as part #'s the console # would is visible but again to order each part separate would be a nightmare.

From the photo I see the wire harness that has the extra plug for the transmitter is # 23127740. My original console (without the transmitter) # is 23127737.

The console for the transmitter is part # 23455245 and my old one without is 23161745.

You should be able to get the transmitter # and button # at the parts department.

 

PLEASE NOTE: This console does not have any controls for a power roof which I believe will also change the part #...

The home link everyone speaks off is the that button on the console to use the garage door? Or something else.

Yes it is for garage doors, gates or modules that can turn on lights etc in the house.

I had one in my '03 F-150 and I really liked it. It had an added feature called Travelnotes which is a voice memo recorder. I found one just like it on ebay for $15. I have spent over a month fabricating a panel, moving lights and switches and upholstering the thing. Then I had a heck of a time finding a good power source. I ended up running a wire from the fusebox ( thanks to MotoMedics RAP thread) when I installed my driverside front pillar grab handle (thanks again for THAT thread , guys) Finally got it all together today.

FYI, do a search for HOMELINK!!! The manufacture is in Elkhart, In and you can purchase the transmitter direct from them or one of there vendors. They have two different color faceplates and it installs in upper console between sunglass holder and dome light, about $210 if my memory serves me right.

I bought a console on eBay. The main console is screwed in in the back, don't try and pull it out. I opened the sunglass holder and was able to grab the center section and pop it out. There are two tabs on each side, but pops out fairly easily. Then find the two black screws holding the rear to clips in the roof panel and remove them. The back section should start to hang. Front section is held in by two clips that hold pretty well. Tried to get tools in there and can't. Finally pulled a bit harder and console popped out. Wiring harness is different depending on options. The console I purchased on eBay was scuffed up in spots, so just swapped wiring harness and center section with old, then reinstalled. Works well.

I put my opener in the ashtray...

 

So now when they break into your truck they now have your remote to be able to head to your house and open your garage and walk away with anything in there. You are brilliant, why didn't we think of this???

Just poking at you in fun, but that is the prime reason I don't leave openers in my cars. Several cases of people breaking into the vehicle, stealing the GDO and insurance or registration info then going to your home and opening the garage door and clearing out the garage.

 

If that happened to me it would be a bad day, there is right at $30k in bicycles in the garage along with a huge tool box and my gun safe. Would prob cost the insurance company $50k+ if my garage got hit.

You might want to reassess your risk management if you have 50k worth of assets secured only by a GDO. ;)

Not much of a choice, that why it is all insured. Safe is covered on separate rider as are the bikes.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
