Jump Seat to Center Console upgrade

[J Wilson]

First time submission... I bought 2013 PPV brand new and now I am in the process of upgrading a few items. I want to ditch my jump seat and upgrade to a center console with climate and radio controls. For the life of me I cannot find the dashboard wiring harness connector to join the console harness. Any ideas of where it might be hiding or how I can make one? I wanna give the kids the option to control the HVAC and radio.

Thanks!

There is no such thing as an "extension" to the harness that is already in the days. I spent a lot of time looking into this, the only way to make that work is to take the complete harness out of the dash, and replace it with the harness that is for a Tahoe etc. that comes with those controls. Also, that harness is quite expensive, but it has an "extension/wiring" that takes the connector that comes in the consoles with the audio/air controls. Also, If you have an overhead console that has the AC/heat controls, it won't even work or you have to give all that up, I was told.

I replaced the audio controls with a "cubbie" and used the space under the console for an amp etc, and put a wireless charger in the lid.

If youre looking and you want to make an attempt, I got the harness and the climate control console dash piece of your intrested. It was hooked up to the amp inside the console

This project would be way out of my comfort zone! Thanks for the offer.
