This means your USB route goes behind the radio. What usb cables are you using? GM factory ones or amazon generic ones? If GM cables, which color cables?

I waited a long time to do this upgrade on my truck because I didn’t want to have to cut and splice the wiring in my truck and wanted everything to work as if the console were factory. So when I saw t

Ok. So the green to grey will not plug up like originally expected as it needs a green port from the HMI.

If you still have the jump seat and it’s harness, you can strip the usb cable from it, and use it to mate with the cable under the front seat. Route the grey end to the front USB hub.

Then use the generic cable and come out of the front Usb hub (driver side port) to feed the brown port of the HMI.

Give that a go... it might be easier to buy a 2nd generic cable from amazon as opposed to stripping the cable from the jump seat harness.

Great, I’ll figure out about the cables. Which USB under the drivers seat?

Pretty sure "under the front seat" refers to the USB connection under the passenger seat, not the driver's seat.  "Driver side port" refers to the USB hub in the console.

The USB cable disconnect under the front passenger seat. Where the original jump seat plugged into. This cable terminates behind the radio. So you can look for it behind the radio screen or use a generic cable and plug into it under the front seat. Whichever method, the other end should go into the front USB hub. The front usb hub (if it’s a double usb hub) should have an “input” and an “output” on the backside. The “input” is the side closer to the passenger side. The “output” is closer to the driver side.

Looking good so far. I can’t seem to figure out how the bracket installs? Does anyone have a diagram for this?

The front bracket? It used (4) existing 7mm bolts. You have to remove them and reuse them. The bracket only goes one way. You might have hard time with the 2 upper 7mm bolts. I remove the radio and HVaC controls for easier access.

Okay guys hopefully last question since I can see the finish line. Thanks for your help!!
 

I routed the brown port to the passenger seat connection, and I’m still left with the USB by the 6 pin connection that doesn’t lead anywhere I can see. I have function in both cigarette lighters but obviously not the triple USB hub since no USB is giving it power. Any advice here? I can live without the triple if it’s not an option

Correction to the post above, the two cig lighters in front worked until I turned on the truck and started driving to work. Now only the hidden one under the lid works? I haven’t tried the triple USB. looks great though! Had to break off the latch to open it which is frustrating.

Ok. So the triple USB hub will only have a single USB input. That’s the missing link. With a triple USB and no HMI, you’ll only have one USB feed that you can use. Which means, you’ll have to decide which one you want hot. With a double USB hub, it has an input and an output. That output would feed the brown port.

I should be ordering a complete console on Monday 11/11/19. It will be out of a wrecked 2018 gmc sierra 1500 crew cab SLT. My truck is the 2017 gmc sierra 1500 SLE double cab. I already have the 12 volt and 110v outlets now next to ash tray. The guy is supposed to send console along with any and all wires and cables that's connected to it. Can you give me any advice on anything before I order it, and what I will need from you to get it all up and running? Thanks!!!

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
