This is fantastic. I was brought here from a Google search on this exact subject. Thanks! Two questions:

1. Do you know if there are more than one USB port on the back of a factory 2013 Yukon Denali Nav unit?
2. If there isn't, could I use a USB 'hub' to allow both the center console USB port and soon to be newly installed dash USB port to continue to function? I understand I couldn't have two iPhones or devices plugged in at the same time but it would be nice to retain the use of the original center console USB.

No there isn't

Not sure if anyone has tried that yet

Thanks NathanJax. I'm ordering parts now for this upgrade. Can you confirm that the USB port on the back of the factory 2013 Yukon Nav unit is a MINI USB and not regular USB like you used on your Pioneer?

I'm 99% sure it's a regular USB connection

Thanks blkonblk and NathanJax. That everything I needed. Appears to be mini USB on both ends. Hopefully will get to this project this weekend. Parts ordered! Can't wait to stop plugging in through the center console!

I brought a mini usb male to male and it did not fit. The gm one looks square and the regular one is round
