I  saw and online link to the owner's manual and it stated both 12v and 120 were there. Obviously wrong. 

If it was on the window sticker, perhaps they need to put them in, or give you back some money. My boyfriend bought a Toyota Camry few years back. He got home and we started looking at the items.. GPS on Window sticker, not on vehicle, and a couple other things.. He argued with them til they spend the 2K and put in the GPS. and other items that were missing. Seems like the sticker is only for a price hike..

I don't see why they would take it out... At least have it in the center console. 

 

Honestly the USB ports are annoying because they are typically low wattage and charge slow and automatically connect to the radio every time... and that's annoying as hell.

 

2 USB and 2 USB-C seems like too few also, no? Are there ports for the back seat still?

They are getting us ready for future electric vehicles. Most likely not going to run 12V anywhere in them. So get everyone onto the 120V AC kick.

 

I just bought an adapter so I can use my 12V air pump.

 I also suspect this all new digital Dash is probably running on less voltage more like 5 to 7 and probably way more sensitive power spikes and interference which given what type of device one plugs into 12V adapters may have been a concern as well.

 speculating but with working with computerized electronics for 3 Plus years that's my theory.

Which adapter did you buy for your air pump? how's it working out? I've heard issues about some of these.

[Elsa Kazi]

Essentially, According to 30 inch rims 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 customers should keep in mind that most trim levels are no longer equipped with a 12-volt outlet. As such, customers that would like to use 12-volt accessories will likely need to purchase a third-party adapter.

Well... SNAP! I too just realized there's no 12v outlet. I guess I won't need it since it took this long to noticed its absent. The SD Card is also missing, I liked it because when inserted it sat flushed, the tiniest micro USB still protrudes.

guess i need to go out and look to see if there is a place to plug in my yellow light,  wonder what volunteers are doing

 

 

Power Outlets
Accessory power outlets can be used to plug
in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone
or MP3 player.
Rear of Front Center Console
The vehicle has one accessory power outlet
under the climate control system and one
accessory power outlet on the rear of the
center console, if equipped, or on the rear of
the bench seat, if equipped.
Lift the cover to access and replace when
not in use.

I added one to my rear seats in my 2022 Sierra just for gigs.

The mod that inspired it was the boost auto center console charging pad. Now I have two charging pads and a cig plug.

Just don't load this plug over 5A if you do this, the wires you tap off of for the pad are thin.

If you wanted to just add the cig plug without the charging pad mod, I could probably find the connector you need for the plug. LMK if any interest.

Great job! Looks like it was there all along.

Haven't found a better option but this harness could work to add the plug without needing the boost auto mod.

Like I said, be careful about current draw however. Those USB wires are probably around 22 gauge so don't push the cig plug ever.
