I switch out my jump seat in my 2019 xlt. Your video made me know it was possible and gave me the confidence to know i can do it. Thanks for the parts list. I got my console from ebay.

Thank you man. You're video was alot of help. Ive swapped to black leather and now wanting ditching my jumper on my 15 super crew.

[@matrafa]

After seeing this vid, I got an f150 with steering column shifter with this swap in mind. I was able to do this with only removing front passenger seat bolts and tilting it out of the way- didn’t want to disconnect the airbag cable underneath. The console I used was taken from a XLT without push start, so we needed to remove the remote antenna located under my jump seat and hook it up into the console wiring. Without the remote antenna hooked up, my truck wound not detect the key.

My 2015 with console had 207,000 miles on it and I decided to change it for a 2018 with FAR fewer miles. The 2018 has the jump seat and I do not like it. Glad I found this video so I can now go find a console and find someone to do the swap. I am a very handy individual but tearing my truck apart and getting it put back together properly I do not have much confidence in. Thank you for the video.

[@paulkelly1702]

Update! The coworker that bought my old truck wants the middle seat and not the console, so we are going to swap them over. Yea!

[@wes1424]

I couldn't believe how pricey the cup holder was, just did my install earlier this week. Did you sell your jump seat and other parts?

[@wes1424]

@B N. Got it off of Car-Part.com no s on part, has yards all over country to pick from. Paid $300 and it was complete

[@ayleslove4710]

If you are handy I did this swap without ordering any special parts.... I used a jigsaw to cut out the Trim bezels, then wrapped them. I also believe you can just plug the side wire harness in and evrything should work without switching over the USB seperate. Ford parts are not cheap, and this can save $100's of dollars. For under $100 you can purchase the two vent attatchments and simply push together to get rear seat ventilation working, I didnt need this as back seat is subwoofers only.

[@jeremyolday1281]

Do you have part numbers? If I'm going to go through the trouble of doing the swap I'd love air in the back seats.

[@davidscherrle7908]

Do you have a picture? I’m curious how it looks after using a saw. I’m thinking about doing the same thing, but concerned it might look bad.

[@ayleslove4710]

@@davidscherrle7908 Is there a way to send or post photos? It came out pretty clean, could also use a dremel I imagine. I could probably send a rough template but I just taped the lines and went slow with jigsaw.

[@ayleslove4710]

@@jeremyolday1281 I believe all the part numbers are listed in the description. Pretty easy swap for the most part, I removed passenger seat and it gave me all the room to move things in and out. Basically plugs right up.

[@ayleslove4710]

I also bought a piece of black acrylic and epoxied it from underneat the console where the shifter use to be, I then ran some switches to it.

[@Recoil816]

Just took a gamble and bought one from a wrecked truck off eBay. Picture sucked, but it looks like it is fine, and it's just the column shifter model I need too, so that saves $200 for that damn trim piece (which is absolutely ridiculous).

[@splxty2897]

Why did you have to swap your single USB port and why weren’t you able to use the dual? I only ask so I know to not try and make the dual work 😂

[@Just_A_Gamer_Dood]

Would this work for a crew cab or would the center console be too long?

[@HarrisonMiller_G]

Hey, I bought the parts I need, I think, but i have a problem. The console was a center shift so I ordered the cup holder and dump pocket replacement. However, now I cannot get the exterior frame to snap back into place on top of it. You didn’t show the installation of that piece. How did you do it? Did you have problems? Literally nobody is out there to help with things like this.

[@alejandroleal2204]

Can you link where you bough the console?

[@OutOfLineGarage]

www.lkqonline.com/ I had the console shipped to the closest yard and picked it up from them.

[@jbzkid76]

Awesome video!! One question...where are you ordering the extra trim parts from?

[@OutOfLineGarage]

jbzkid76 friend of mine is a parts manager for a local dealership so I ordered everything slightly above cost. Tasca seems to be one of the cheaper options check with your local ford dealer.

[@1194video]

Think this is what I’ll do on my Lightning and remove my center seat

[@AndersonConstructionTeam]

Hey outofline, watched this whole video it’s amazing! Do you think this process would be comparable to putting an f250 console in an f250 with a jump seat? Thanks!

[@OutOfLineGarage]

The consoles are exactly the same so it would be the same process.

[@gmanjeep1]

Hello I just got my center console and I'm going through videos see how it's done and I came across your video. And I didn't realize you have to change a lot of parts. And I was wondering where did you find the parts you needed I see the bolts and washers you got like at Home Depot. Thanks

[@limitlessautomedia9794]

I remember there being this one website where you can buy parts from vehicles starting with car.... I can't remember the websites name!!!!

Would this work for a 2018 F150?

Can you give me a link or part numbers for the required parts to run AC to the back

[@parkerrogers2277]

@@ericksonlopez9658 www.f150forum.com/f118/center-console-swap-details-352699/ See the parts picture in the forum. Part 18C420B extends console duct to 90 degree bend Part 18C420C. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this part is what connects to the blower. Reading the forum, you may have to use a utility knife to cut out an opening in the blower housing. Once the hole is cut, Part 18C420C goes over the hole to receive the air. Edit: Ford Part No. FL3Z-18C420-C or Base No. 18C420C

[@wnitro679]

We're you able to make it work or did it just not require any extra pieces

[@coletruitt4666]

I’m confused as what to put in the “option” spot on the LKQ online website obviously you put your year of f150 , interior , dash and console parts, console and then under option what did you put? Is it “floor , (full console with lid),column shift” and even when I do that I’m hesitant to buy because it doesn’t really show me pics of what the console I’m getting looks like. If you could help me out that’d be great.

[@bigeasy2187]

why do you have to get new bolts. why cant you use the ones that were holding the jump seat in

[@KelliKlassen]

different mounting points for the console and jump seat. Smaller bolts

[@greenbulldog30]

Did you ever wire in the ambient lighting or USB ports for the center console?

[@SilvioAlcantara]

Excellent video, question, did that key slot underneath the sync compartment ( it's used to program new keys) did that work after this swap?

[@OutOfLineGarage]

Silvio Alcantara never checked, but I doubt it will.

[@justinduff1792]

Awesome video. I did the same swap myself prior to watching your video and didn’t plug in the USB first like a dumbass. Do I have to take everything apart again or is there a simpler way to access the wire?

[@OutOfLineGarage]

You might be able to pop the radio out and plug it in that way

[@BRANDONTALONSKY]

When you took the shifter out did you remove those 4 retaining clips by chance? I need those and cannot find a part number

[@scribbly1160]

Quick question, does it have to be a center console from a xlt or can it be from a lariat ?

[@OutOfLineGarage]

It can be from whatever trim, just need to make sure the colors match.

[@ivorysmithii8505]

Price and time will vary. When I did it 9 months ago. I paid $570 after taxes for the console from ebay and about an extra $100 for trim pieces and hardware. Took me about an hour and a half to 2 hours by myself to do it.

[@kpiperjr]

Thanks to this video, I bit the bullet and purchased a console and made the swap. Then, to my surprise, the truck wouldn't start. It has the push-button start and kept saying "Key not detected." I tried putting the key fob in the emergency slot, but that didn't work. I took out the console and put the jump seat back in and it started right up. There's apparently some connection that isn't on the 2017 console that I'm putting in my 2019 truck. I can't find ANYTHING about this on the web. Anyone got any ideas?

[@OutOfLineGarage]

Hmmm, wish I could look through it. Any codes coming up? Don't see any thing under the seat that might be able to cause the issue?

[@kpiperjr]

@@OutOfLineGarage Nope, no codes. Would disconnecting the battery reset the computer, maybe? Do you know if there is any programming in the key detector? Oh, there is one plug near the front of the console that had no matching connection in the dash. I guess I can't attach a picture here, but it has two wires going into the connector, gold and light blue. ***UPDATE*** I believe the plug is the C235 PATS antenna, which must be built in to the 2019 main floor plug. I just need to find a wire diagram of the 2019 plug to see if I'm right.
