The male connector is what's on the SD card reader, the connector we seem to need is the female connector here is the PDF on that connector PDF LINK

Page 5 of the PDF shows the male connector and it looks like the one on the SD card reader, Page 2 of the PDF shows the female connector and looks like the one from Amazon

I will know shortly I ordered them and have them set for delivery on Wed.

Hopefully Amazon delivered the cable(s) and they are working out ok, the ones I bought will need to have the USB mold shaved down to fit inside the plug, so I'm looking forward to seeing how your cables work out that you ordered.

I just picked up a dash harness for a 2018 ZL1 w/PDR it should be here in the next 2-3 days at that point I can cross reference the connections from the PDR to the exact location on the harness.

say what? I kinda wanted to get the harness too instead of this patchwork I've done.... But taking the dash apart for the harness may be a lot of work. lol.

Honestly I will not be able to use the harness on my car it's purely for reference, in fact I *may* just use the harness to identify the location of the connection points and verify what we found in the service manuals is accurate and try to offload the harness after.

However it seems this car has a few options I would like to look into like RPO UKC OBSTACLE DETECTION ENHANCED so maybe it will come in handy.

Nice! I'm working on the lighting package as we speak. The door panel, cup holder, and radio screen lights. I have the module, screen, and door panels. Just working on the wiring.

lucky for me my car came with that, outside of the footwell lighting that I will be adding, another interesting thing is the USB cables and GPS cables for the PDR seem to be included in the dash wiring harness as well. This all started with me trying to get just the USB cables for the PDR and that turned into "There are no other cables inside the dash just the full wire harness" so logic dictated that I buy the harness. (now to make sure the wife does not find out , She's been very understanding of my desire to add this feature so that's awesome of her)

My wife has hated the last 2 weeks or so.... So many boxes... and a few of them large. Dash pieces... and door panels were the biggest. I have another front dash piece coming in tomorrow. Bought off a guy on FB. Red Carbon Fiber dip and clear coated.

That's a good find. Do you know the part number?
Cables I bought didn't pan out so well. The antenna one more perfect the three data cables did not but might still work with a small modification

They did not give me a part number, I hope it has the GM tag on it when it gets here and I can provide it, I can also provide the RPO codes that this car has maybe it's a direct plug and play for your car?

As noted I would not be able to use this on my vert as I do not have the same options and from what I gather the convertible controls tie into the harness as well.

When I get the part in I will post what info I can find on it.

That looks awesome, that should look pretty sharp when you get it all put together.
