New Centre Console for my 2011 ppv

[iLikeEggs]

The Ppv/ssv units are not wired for a center console. In mine I just powered up the 12 volt outlets using a fused battery feed

There is a pig tail that is left there at the factory. It is for the power to the center console. You have to fish it out from underneath the flooring, which is easy. It's located around where the roll over sensor is on the floor board, directly underneath the center console. Just fish around, you'll find it.

Makes a huge difference

For those amongst us that get creative, or find a way to make that audio thingy work, this is the wiring harness for the center console: https://www.gmpartsonline.net/oem-parts/gm-wire-harness-22888862/?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9Y2VudGVyLWNvbnNvbGUmaT1HSDA3NzM1NSZyPTI2JmE9Y2hldnJvbGV0Jm89dGFob2UmeT0yMDEzJnQ9bHQmZT01LTNsLXY4LWZsZXg=

So will this harness let us PPV/SSV owners add the Bose subwoofer?

Well I am actually looking into it. I did get a Nav-Radio, it's being re-programmed. I needed a wiring harness to install it (I needed: #6603 on http://www.oemradios.com/parts.php)
That part/harness has the connectors that would let you plug in the harness that is in the center console. (it claims). The harness in my center console was cut, but it has the/an amplifier underneath it (that I kept) and the rear audio controls.

Once I have the radio working, I probably will buy the harness that goes into the center console, and try and see if I can get it to work. I am pretty sure it won't work with the basic radio, it might work with the nav-radio I have (it has a bunch more connectors in the back.

The harness I mentioned above, I think, is the one in the center console, but I'd have to further look into it to make sure.

Unfortunately, no. It's only for the center console. Depending how the vehicle was configured when it left the factory there may be another pig tail somewhere down there.

I noodled around for that harness TWICE and came up empty-handed. I'm guessing it was rolled up with the upfitter's harness when they retired the truck, so it's a batch of cut wires up behind the radio now.

I never found mine either

When my center console comes in next week I’ll try to look for the wire. What color is it supposed to be?

It will be a plug connector, hopefully it will match up with the plug on the console.

LoL hopefully!

Here's what I found under the rubber "carpet" when I installed my console. It is hiding somewhere near the roll over sensor, I suspect it to run back to the front "somewhere". I also attached a pic of the connector that I found in my console, and.... it does not power the cigarette lighters.

Also: Does anyone know if it is easy to take the tray out of the center console after the console is installed? I want to try and see if I can disconnect the first part of the wiring harness, that connects the rear (in my case the harness was actually cut).

Oh heck sorry to hear that. That could very well be the case. Basically though, it's not hard to run power to the console. Find one of those cut bundles with a hot and a ground and extend to the console. If you want to make it pretty, you could probably find the correct pig tail on ebay or rock auto.

look what I saw on eBay, in this console it shows there's actually a 'cubby' you can put in, instead of having the rear audio.

anyone else's center console's legs kinda flimsy? mine were bent pretty bad

 

[GranPrix]

So the top plug is the one I fished out from under the mat. The bottom plug is the one from the harness. Which would be the correct male plug for the female with the red n black wires? I figure I would just get the correct plug to this one and make my own harness to power the cigs...

 

[GranPrix]

This is the closest plug i could find

Do you have a part number for that cubie?

 

[GabeTX]

I am also installing a console in my PPV and i want to get it wired up

I don't, but trying to hunt it down. I have been 'researching' getting the rear audio connected, BUT if it is the right harness already, it starts to look like you have to pretty much all disconnect all instrument panel stuff in the dash (it's a pretty big harness with lots of connectors) and keep your finger crossed (and everything else one can possibly cross) when you start the thing again.. AND still no real guarantee it even works, or worse start some electrical mayhem.

So I might just opt for installing an after market Amp, pull the rear audio thing out and replace it with one of those cubbies. (I still have to figure out how to install an after market amp with having to re-wire the whole car.

I am leaning towards getting one of these (I was recommended that by the shop that re-programmed my radio)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PAC-AO...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
What I am still trying to figure out is how an amplifier would be hooked up to that, using the original wiring for the speakers and such.

edit: I stopped leaning, the place I had my radio re-programmed said I needed one, so I bought it.

I have the jump seat but everytime I see these installed it looks SOOO MUCH BETTER than my stupid jumpseat.
