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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
