You might be well served to post a swap in the classifieds of the forum. Some people want to remove their console in favor of the jumpseat.

The jumpseat was a must for me. Then I found out there was a jumpseat with underseat storage...I had to have it, much like some want the center console.

Thanks but now I have two and I'm looking to sell mine off. Luckily they apparently fit in Rams back to 98

Yeah see I would never use my jump seat beause I have 750 Lbs of crap in my arm rest and it will all go flying if I lift it up, so if a 6th person needs to tag along they are goin in the bed lol
That's what the underseat storage is for! I've actually used all 6 seats on vacation for short trips with family. Plus I have Ramboxes so my cab stays clean!

Nice. Was your wire harness plug and play or you splice wires like I did ?
What trim truck do you have that you had to do some splicing? Only asking because I might do this upgrade in future.

I have diesel grey express trim. It matches perfect. There were two plugs coming out the back of console. One was for aux,usb and other was just usb......Those two plug ends / adapters did not match the two that came up from driver seat. I took old harness out my jump seat plugged into plugs under seat. Then other side I cut the wires and joined liked color wires. Finally the usb in dash did not reach the usb In center console bezel. I extended about 12" by cutting two wires. Splicing in 12" piece of wire then reattaching plug so it was plug and play with console bezel. This sounds harder then it was. Literally you unplug battery match like colors and reconnect. Don't let it scare you was very easy. Good luck man

No i did not cut a thing. It was completely plug and play. The USB/SD/AUX module plugs into where my oem jump seat was at which is under the driver seat. Then the haarness also had the power for the front cigarette lighter and thats it.
Works fine, fits perfect and functions just like it woulda from factory.

I must have been missing a harness. Will try to track down part number for future modders use

Here is final list of parts that I used. Original list was not right. I returned a few parts and end cap was wrong.
5VC941Z6AA bezel center console
5VC95DX9AC base floor console
1NN14DX9AB console base
68053384AA rear duct (will not tie into factory. Have to cut and tie into your existing one)
1HS07DX9AA access cover
1HR97DX9AC extension panel
1HR96DX9AC extension panel
55365120AA bracket front
55365121AD bracket 2
1QV13DX9AA console base mat
5NB13LA8AC armrest diesel grey OR order 5NB13DX9AC for black armrest
1RB84DX9AA air outlet
1RB86DX9AA air outlet
1VY921 X9AD bezel instrument panel with grey sides and black center
68214340AA retaining panel
5NA01DX9AA rear cover
6-100 1" bolts x 4 (ace hardware or Home Depot etc ) with washers (secure console to bracket )
2 -5/8 by 1" bolts, nuts and washer (secure front bracket )
2 bolts (don't know size ) for rear bracket.
There may be harness to tie usb,aux etc to plugs from console to factory plugs?? I spliced the wire harness from old jump seat. One end is plug and play to wires under seat other end gets spliced to new console ). I also extended one usb from old bezel about 12" to new console bezel. Both are easy you just match colors and tape.



The part for radio bezel is ...

1VY921 X9AD bezel instrument panel with grey sides and black center

Good luck

Today I removed old bezel (remove two t20 screws) and pry away. Then removed 4 screws holding bottom on existing console off. Once screws out I snapped off and unplugged the usb and cig lighter.

Next I took all transferable parts out of old bezel and moved to new bezel

Next I reinstalled new bezel

Tomorrow I will install console. It looking like mounting bracket may be a pain. I'll have o try and find some nuts and washers to hold this on 5260edfe09dec8432280dd12631cdc52.jpg
Then I move to balance of parts bd7053a74c344c3e1f21a7a32a010591.jpg


This am I tightened four bolts that hold console then snapped end caps on and now I'm done. Everything works 100%

Help. I am doing mine as we speak, the lower until under the center stack, the cig lighter had a clip easy, but the USB on the left looks straight wired and there is no play to unsnap it, do you recall how you undid it?
