Default Jump Seat to Console Question

Good evening, I have a 2015 F-150 XLT Crew Cab 4x4 with 302A. Love everything about it but the jump seat. I have seen several threads people asking but nothing really clear on what modifications would need to be done. Can someone whos done it or knows chime in below to the questions listed? Thanks for all your help!

1. At the front of the console (by the dash) what modifications if any need to be done?

2. Will the plug / power be ran already for the inventer in the back of the console? Also does the center console have a 12 volt outlet in the bottom of it? (I know there is the one by the dash) I have the 400w inverter already with 1 spot on the dash.

3. What trim pieces would need to be replaced (on sides of console, by dash, etc)

4. Is the bolt pattern the same for the jump seat as it is for the console?

5. How do you convert / run the vents for the back of console?

It looks like the entire lower dash is different on the center console models. I'm sure its possible to retrofit one but it does look extremely difficult.

This has been done. I don't remember the title of the post, but it was a good write up. Hope you can find it.

People keep stopping these posts saying "it's been done". Only 1 person on this whole forum has figured it out and they didn't run air through the back and do it completely. Then the thread dies and no one got any help. I would LOVE to hear more about how to do this!!!!!

Thanks guys. Im going to give it and go and see what happens. Worst case I have a console that goes up on ebay. Its worth a shot. There are a couple of challenges I see already, the aux panel (usb, sd card, line in, 12volt) are straight on my truck and not on an angle like on the console models. Also the door that slides back goes into the dash. I don't have a slot for the door to go into the dash. Not sure If I want to drill into the dash for the door to slide in. It also looks like that piece is held by the dash when back and there is a light in there to light up the area. I guess I will see how / if it will work. Ill take some pics and report back this weekend after I give it a go. Thanks!

Quick Update, picking up the console later this week. Doing some research and need to see if you all agree with my on something. I have listed below some pictures showing the panel that goes between the media center (pic # 1 where the usb, sd card, 12v outlet, etc) go. It appears after I remove the panel I have currently (#2 pictured below) that I would need to purchase the part pictured below (pic #3). Does this seem correct or will It fit without that piece? Also does anyone know if the media center is part of the console? (the usbs, sd card, line in, 12v)






I know I will also need the a/c vent tube (pic #4) as well. Also the trim pieces that go along side the console at the bottom that have pockets to hold small items (not pictured) Anything else I would need?

This is the dash piece I'm thinking I may need. Its part number 046B32. Also I would assume I need the 2 bolts to hold it in. Not sure if my current set up has a spot for the 2 bolts.
