Hey guys hope you dont mind me reviving this thread..

I just did this swap last night My truck is a 2015 Laramie with the jump seat, I purchased a 2016 laramie console. Everything went incredibly smooth last night, right up until i wanted to plug into my connectors under the drivers seat. My old jump seat had 3 connectors, a wide one, and 2 that look like 6 pin connectors. However my new console only has 2, the wide connector, and the USB connector listed earlier. anyone have any ideas?


no idea if this will be helpful to any one else, but i manage to answer my own question

With the center console the USB and Aux audio connections migrate to the front of the console (basically under the dash) so I either need to re-route then under the seat, or find the point at which the inline cable runs from the stereo to under the seat, disconect, and plug in my harness there....

I just installed a center console and didn't have to splice anything. i had a harness that i believe is the one that makes it plug and play. The part number on it is X40009102XX. I googled the number but nothing came up.

Anyways, I hope it helps someone doing this swap.

I'm installing a newer console and want to try to hook up the usb in the console. Do you have the wire diagram for the usb, sd aux plug I can get? Thank sand awesome writeup.

Do you have a part # for this entire piece, with the sliding door and phone Holder?

Also will these whole section fit into any 09+ Center Console? For example, can I put this piece into a 09+ console that previously had the shifter setup there or a 09+ console that had the normal Cupholder piece there? Or is it a specific year center console that this piece fits into?

I'm doing a console swap on my 2012 regular cab that came with a jump seat and I'd really like to have this piece in the console rather then the normal Cupholders section or the console shifter.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

CD player??

So this may be a dumb question regarding the swap out, but I haven't seen it posted anywhere in this thread yet so I'll ask.... I have a 2013 1500 Tradesman or Express model.... bought it used so not sure... just did the 5.0 to 8.4 radio swap..... anyways.... mine has a CD player in the very bottom bin of my current console( pictured) ..... is that able to be transferred into the new console if I do the swap?

Do you have a better picture of where the CD player is? I have never seen one on a jump seat before.

In the full floor console, the CD players are large storage part of console. I'm guessing it is the same CD player module as your jumpseat. You'll want to make sure the floor console you get has at least the mounting for the CD player, if it doesn't have the player in it already.

That's because it is so conveniently located under the jump seat bottom lol. You have to flip the seat back up and then flip up the seat bottom to get to it. [emoji849]

Complete pita to get to if, like me, you still listen to CDs here and there. Idiotic design in my opinion

Yeah that blows for placement. How are you supposed to change a CD while you are driving?

For the swap it will be easy for you. Find a center Console with a CD player. It will all be plug & play if you can get the complete unit. I will have most of a Laramie Center console & Bezel available soon. I bought one that was missing come parts. I have it in my rig now but have the right color for my truck coming with everything I need. I'd be happy to make you a deal on it but it is for the tan interior. So the sides are tan & the arm rest is a Brown. I found some on Car-Part pretty reasonably. We are talking $350 shipped for the center console with brackets & the bezel. Just keep your eye's open & you can find one.

I'm waiting to hear back from a fellow forum member who has one with CD player for a good price..... pretty sure all I'll need is to change the shifter console to normal one and get a dash bezel if he doesn't have one. Appreciate the offer, but like you, I have the diesel gray interior

No worries. Mine will be missing some stuff anyway. Definitely wouldn't be the turn key solution. The shifter deal is interesting. Haven't looked into that at all. So even the floor console shifter is still basically an electrical setup? It isn't shift cables? Hopefully that is a simple swap for you. Best of luck man & post up your results. These DIY threads are awesome

I've seen just the silver part of the center console for sale on ebay before so I'm guessing that part comes off and you can swap it out.

I'd you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the console?

I just picked up this console last week for $200 off another forum member on here, Disturbed. Great guy!!

The silver part you mentioned had some heavy scratches so Disturbed wrapped the silver parts in black vinyl for me. Looks really nice and he gave me a ton of spare vinyl so I can wrap my radio bezel parts aswell once it gets here. I'm just waiting on the bezel and brackets to arrive that I bought off ebay. My black matching front "kick" panels already arrived. Once the bezel and brackets get here I'm ready to swap it in. I'm so excited... ive been dying to get a center console in my truck since I test drove it haha...
