Sounds like you've got this figured out. The wires going into the HMI will be in a larger GM US Car connector, not a USB connector

Ok. Thanks.
So, it would seem that I'll need to add the splitter at the console end of the wire since that is nothing but a mini-USB connector on a ridiculously oversized plug mold (see pic I took just now). I will see if I can find a mini-USB to mini-USB/USB-A splitter and then just run a USB-A extension from under the console to above the glove box. At the glove box, I may add a two port hub or USB-A splitter so that I could have both my phone and maybe a USB drive with music there instead of in the console.
Since my focus is to not use more than two ports at a time, this shouldn't cause any issues for me. Additionally, I have seen where some people have added very small USB hubs in the console without issue as well, so it would seem that the power availability would be ok anyhow.
