Yep followed your video.

If you follow this method, this should resolve that. For some reason, the method in the video only worked that one time.

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

What this comes down to is:

  • My Plug and Play Harness
  • (2) USB Cables - based on the console year your purchased

Thanks guys!  I'll be filling orders on my waitlist, then everyone else on a first come, first serve basis.

My name is Deryl Wingate with a 2017 Chevrolet LS Crew Truck. Doing a swap out of my jump seat to the floor center console. Looking to purchase the PnP harness but can't find out where or how to order the cables. I'm local in Arlington, TX. I want to complete the swap over the next 3 days, how soon can I get the cables?

Thanks. Will give this a shot soon. So should I be able to use USB ports for music in all the USB ports? 

OK, might need a little help here. I followed the diagram and now I am able to use both USB ports in the console, but the front ones have power but will not play anything. Also will not charge the phone. Is there anything else I can try? I would really like it all to work. I am not sure about the charging top as I haven't tried that, but I have an android phone and it says that it only works with Iphones.

Can you provide exact details of what cables (with the color on each ends), what is plugged in where, etc.

I have the green to grey from HMI (green) to USB input and the black/brown from HMI to the brown port.

Ok. That should work. If you are not getting any charging, it could be possible to have a dead (inactive) green port on the HMI. If that is the case, your only option may be to hook it up the other way you had it.

The only thing is that I had the green short cord for the usb in the glovebox and it was working fine. Could it be the actual usb ports you think? Do you know how difficult it would be to change that out? The HMI could be the culprit, but I just don't see how.

I went back out and now the usb ports in the console stopped working. I may get another HMI. I have a 2014 truck, but I think the console is out of a 2016. Can I just replace my HMI with the same 2.0 with Nav or do you think I need to get a 2.5? I have the blue plug for the antenna on mine.

Replacing the HMI requires programming to your VIN and a replacing/programming will run in the several hundreds.  If you still have your jump seat, you may want to try and swap the USB hubs from your factory jump seat, to the console.  There are hardware differences in the USB hubs between the 2014/2015 and the 2016+ hardware.  Your jump seat USB Hub has an SD Card slot whereas the console will not.  The front USB hub in a 2014/2015 console will have a triple USB hub whereas the yours has a double usb port.

Several hundred? Uggh. Who programs it? Dealership? I can't just get one thats plug and play huh? Thats a shame. Looks like I will just be using cds for a while. Thats just too much. I found a HMI 2.0 like I have for $200, but I am not willing to spend more than that. Oh well, I love the console anyway. USB media was just a great option to have.

I don’t think the USB ports are bad. You mentioned the front USB hub worked at some point but the storage compartment hub only charged. So I don’t think there is anything wrong with the hardware.

Since you also had the upper glove (short green cable) USB port, then the output from the HMI should be working as wells.

I would retry the connections, make sure the front usb hub has the usb cable and black 6-pin fully seated.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
