That temp sensor is not present on 2013+ overhead consoles.

Okay, I found the post with the new pictures by a different member and even with cutting the headliner this looks like a easy install. I do have questions...

I need a part number for the console to fit my 2014; I'd like the LED map lights, cup holder lights and homelink. I have no sliding rear window or sunroof, but would like all the other options. I do not want a compass as the issues being brought up in this thread. Can someone with this exact console send me their VIN so I can call the dealer and get the exact one? Or maybe you have a part number already?

I also would like to do a better write up on this. Can we collaborate abit and get a few holes patched up? Maybe a better parts list with each Part number for each style console, their compatibility with the different GEN IV Trucks and the accessory part numbers?

The Homelink is a compass module.

Just for clarity, there are two modules to my knowledge.
A compass module , and a dual module for homelink / compass .
The Homelink / compass module looks the same externally , same footprint and oddly enough also only uses 3 of the four pins ...

So if you have homelink, you have the compass. Gotcha. Did they make the LED without the rear window controls, with cupholder light and with homelink?

I don't think so but the slider button pops out and can be replaced with a blank (if you can find a blank).

Sounds good. I'd like to order this tomorrow. Can I have confirmation on a P/N.

That's the unfortunate part, that blank is not a separate part number as far as I can tell.

Thats fine, I will hunt one down, but what about the console itself? I need a part number for that, as I'm not sure if the Part numbers found on the OP are the ones I'm looking for. Plan on ordering tomorrow so I can put this in this upcoming week.

It may take a bit of reading but there's a few post here and elsewhere with p/n s for the consoles .
Maybe try Google on the p/n you have ?
Once you nail down some p/n s run them on ebay .

Has anyone done this on a 2015?

Just did my Express. Headliner cutting is the hardest part. I have a 2015 Express CC as my truck and my work truck is a 2016 Power Wagon that was equipped with the console so it was easy for me to make a template and have something to go by. So far the work truck has been a fantastic mule for me to try things on..Did the Mopar remote star at the same time. Looking for the center floor console and the mirror w/mic for my next projects.

Anyone know what kind of screws are required to hold the homelink module onto the console? I bought a new console and homelink module but it didn't have the screws to attach it. Anyone have an extra sliding rear window switch or blank that you would like to sell?

I have two! I'll give you one if you pay shipping. PM me if interested. I may also have the screws you're looking for...

I do for a 2009-2012. Same offer if your interested. Shipping should be $6.80 and the module is free as I can't guarantee it works (I have a 2014) The black bezel surround is a little knicked but should polish right up.

I also have my old 2014 compass module if anyone's interested.
