Any Issues Removing Center Console with Bose, Nav, Wireless Charging

[Jmcgriff19]

I’ve tried searching and didn’t come up with an answer on this. I had asked this a while back as well but it was when the trucks were still new so I’m hoping someone has figured this out. I am looking to buy an AT4, but I am tossing around the idea of swapping the console out to a jump seat so the whole family(wife and 4 kids) can ride together in my truck. We actually go in my truck quite a bit and don’t really want to loose that capability. I know I can swap it out if I get a truck that does not have Bose, Navigation, or wireless charging as one of the members on here has done it, but I can’t find a truck like this on a lot. Every AT4 truck within 500 miles of here has at least the preferred package on it which adds these options. I am trying to avoid having to order a truck and try to juggle selling mine at just the right time when the new one arrives. 

 

Does anyone know if it will cause any issues if I remove the console with the Bose sub, navigation card, and wireless charging? I really can’t imagine that this would cause any issues but these trucks have so many electronics in them you never know. I know the navigation wouldn’t work but I always use CarPlay and use the nav on my phone anyway. And I would loose the bass from the sub, but as long as everything else works without throwing any alarms I can live with that. I can always add a sub under the back seat or something.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What if you just reroute the electronics and install the seat configuration you want?

I think you can pull this off. The only issue that I foresee is the wireless key transmitter. The cable might not be long enough to reach the jump seat connection. It's routed differently since there's a console there to hide the wiring. I also don't know about the rear air vents. The jump seat might not come with those parts to make the connection.  You might need some extra parts there.   Everything else can be removed and the cables tucked under the carpet once you get it disconnected.

 

In my opinion, Seems like you are spending money you don't need. If you need seating for 6, just option up an SLT with the X31 package, and get the lift kit and black wheels.  You essentially get an AT4 without paying for things you are going to remove anyways for 10 grand less. Then you can have someone wrap the chrome bits for you in vinyl so you can get that monochrome look that comes with the AT4. 

 

Just my thoughts.

I thought about that. I figured i could come up with something after getting the truck and tearing into it, but just wasn’t sure if harnesses would be long enough. I’m really thinking that I can just move some things around out of the console and push them under the dash.

Thanks! I didn’t realize the wireless key transmitter was in the console. With the push button being on the dash I assumed it would be behind the dash. I know one member has already done this swap on his AT4, but it didn’t have Bose, nav, or wireless charging. So the key transmitter should be doable. 

 

I did price that option out but by the time I got prices on everything including the vinyl wrap and all it was really only going to save me a few thousand dollars and I wouldn’t have near the options on the truck. In order to keep a bench seat in a truck you pretty much can’t add any options to it.
