That’s correct. In a factory truck with a console, there is no upper glove box port. GM uses both black/green ports for the console.

In a jump seat truck, the black port goes to the jump seat. The green port is an optioned upper glove box port.

In my video, I “looped” the signal from the black port in and out of the front hub and kept the upper glove box. But that only worked the one time during the shooting of the video. After that one time, the console compartment hub only charged my my phone and quit passing data.

So in my HMI i have a cable in the black port but not the green port. If the black one is going under the seat, do I put the "new" black/gray cable in the port where the old black cable is? I will still have the green port open....not to be used? When I looked at the video...many times... it looked as if I would use both if I had the green one open. So now I am confused as to which goes where.

Got everything in today!

Anyone know if I can throw it in today without the harnessdr’s harness? What would work/what wouldn’t if I did? HarnessDr’s harness comes in a few weeks!

I put mine in without the harness. I have one power port and the 110v working without it. I am glad I put it in. I love it so much more than the seat. Plus, how many ports are really needed. At this point, as long as I can charge my phone I am happy.

Not without the harness. The only plug ins i had were from the ash tray. Those get reused even with the harness.

Okay! Your phone connects to the radio still though right?

I always have it connected through bluetooth. I have a 2014 so I am not sure that would make a difference or not though.

It use that Christmas tree clips whatever they called, just have to pull on it to take it out I think.

These are a pain for sure. Start with the gray one. Use a small flat tip screwdriver on the bottom right side (of your photo) there should be a little tab to press in a pull out at the same time. The do the black one. The black one has the tab on the right side as well.
