Adding oem USB plugs into center console

[Infantrymen1019]

Hey, I purchased a 21 RST that did not come with the USB ports in the center console armrest. Does anyone know if the wiring harness is under the console? Anyone know how I’d go about doing this? Thanks.

First thing I recommend doing is lifting the center console trim that has the bin and cupboard to see if there's a USB 2.0 mini cable that isn't connected.  If not, this is going to be an expensive and time consuming project that'll involve removing the dash.  If that cable connection is there you'll only need the SD card/USB mount for inside the center console and a new wire harness.  That job is only a matter of removing the center console to change out the wire harness, and removing the front passenger seat to plug the harness into the truck.  That's actually a very simple job.  The wire harness is about $50 new through the dealer.  I have one taking up space in my garage that doesn't have wireless phone charging and rear seat heat.
