Swapped useless center seat for console in work truck. Jumped on eBay when Saw complete unit for $500 w/ free shipping. Came with everyone .
console must have been from much newer model.
unbolt and remove passenger seat, unplug under seat. . Unbolt console, unplug.
Will need the trims to go over vents and the fill page for center dash. I can get you better descriptions if needed .
the ambient lights and all 12 v plugs came on. The 110 obviously doesn’t work and rear usb didn’t work. I had to mod my front usb/ aux in to fit, but just require making hole a tad bigger. Fed front usb from existing dash wires
looks like this unit came from a sync 3 version.. probably why rear usb don’t work. There is some kind of control module.
I don’t really care that much if rear 110/ subs don’t work since nobody really rides back there.. but if any ideas I’m game. I can tap the rear 12v for power pretty easily I think .
I could have run the air, but didn’t see the need. Can take all out and redo if I ever want to. Current ac is vented under seats.
The vent trims I got had the trailer assist **** hole.. the plastic trim is plastic welded so can’t take it out. I believe it’s about about a 1 1/4 inch hole or 32 mm maybe. Thinking of putting a gage age door opener button there unless somebody has batter idea.. my truck doesn’t have the home link . Can solder leads to my existing unit and hid in dash. Existing setup All in Rear panel.. need to figure out how to power rear usb Front panel.. had to make hole bigger for my old unit . Wires fed from dash. Tight fit, so tie a string to plugs, when you push console in make it easier to grab them and plug in to the cab Trailer assist ****.. any ideas? Inside rear panel. .. need to figure out how to power the usb.
thanks to tips from this site.. it probably was a 2 hour project or less all together.

Reason: Edit
Does anyone have a late model regular cab F150 with a center console and bucket seats? According to the ordering guide, a center console and leather seats were available for special order, but I have been unable to find such a beast. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
