Adding Rear Console USBs

I think the part number you're looking for is 68438655AA. (WIRING, Console : [X8S], [JKV], [JJN], [RS4], [RFX], [JPZ] AND/OR [CAH])
This has all the options available for the center console.
Will this work with the CD player option as well?

Yes, the CD player connector is a 16 pin black connector with a white back. 68438655AA has all the options so the connector is there. Still need programming to make it work in the vehicle as well as CD player only works with Uconnect 4 and not UC5.

Thank you for all your help. Just to clarify, I have the factory cd player. I do not have the rear factory usb ports. If i find a donor console with factory rear usb I will need programming to make it work?

For the USB ports, no programming is needed, just needs power/ground and data connection for USB hubs to work. If you already have a CD player then you have the programming in the BCM for the CD player to work. You just need the console harness to have the same connectors you already have plus extra connections on the harness for the rear USB hub. I recommend getting the console harness with all features, any you don't use will just hang inside the console. Out of sight out of mind. 😁

Thanks for all your help. I ended up finding a complete console for $125 cash with the rear USB ports and no invertor plugs from a local recycler in great condition. I felt like I was stealing it from them!!! Installed in 15 min. Took me longer to clean the console. Everything works and the kids have power now. Now maybe Ill tackle adding the invertor if I can figure out the wiring since the console is prewired for the two plug ports.
