Those that have replaced the middle bench with the full center console, what was needed for this swap?

Also does the big screen cluster and big screen radio plug right up?

Thanks in advance!

With the 2018 & older Rams

When you change out the floor console, you have to also change out the center stack, which is the middle section of the dashboards face

Someone has made this switch, maybe they posted it on Youtube ?

BoostedMotorsports has a few videos on YouTube showing how he installed the center console in his Hellcat powered Ram. He converted from a bench to center console. I believe he also lists all the parts required.

Ie done it 2 times u need the center console, the 2 brackets one in front and one for the back they bolt right in if the console has the wiring harness attached it plugs right in, the 8.4 Connect radio and the center stack trim fits over the new console the outer trim piece pieces also have to sourced, installation takes about 2 hours not hard at all

So we gathered most of the parts (so we think)

It's going in a 2016 SLT Quad Cab, which doesn't have rear heaters.
Does anyone know what part is required for the rear heater to work?

Wondering if this will work 68049979AA? We have the duct going under the console itself.

Also, the truck currently doesn't have the 115V plug, but the new console has the outlet. What else is needed to make that plug work?
