Is it possible to add heated and cooled seats?

[gat0r]

well, i may stand corrected....
just found a vid that says otherwise

seems maybe just dash switches & seats are needed...
given all the other times BCM needs to be reprogrammed (that i have had to deal with),
this gives me hope... LOL

i think only '15 & '16 have the cooled seats, after that it is only ventilated (only circulate the ambient air)

if one got seats, dash switches {plus harness for switches} & BCM (&/or other modules) from a junk yard, they would still have to reprogram the BCM to current vehicle.

That’s what I’m seeing too but trying to understand the base requirements. My truck has heated seats but I THINK it should be as “easy” and getting the BCM programmed.

That’s what I’m seeing too and watched this video. I’m trying to understand the base requirements and each thread I read says something different. My truck has heated seats but I THINK it should be as “easy” and getting the BCM programmed if I found Denali seats. I really want to know if Caddy seats can work…. I know CUE operates some things but it’s an interface… the controls are still in the seat.

Also, seems very few ppl have even added ventilated seats to their Tahoe/Subs on the 2015-2019 models. That’s why I’m so curious… just not a lot of info.

yeah, wish more info avail

but i did find some other stuff by changing some keywords in search

says " Swapping out your factory Heated only seats to Heated/Cooled seats? This is the retrofit harnesses needed to get the cooling circuits retrofitted to the driver seat. You MUST have factory heat in order to gain cooling. "



guessing this didnt come up prior b/c i always had tahoe or suburban... vs truck

interesting info
does talk about BCM & chance of repinning harness

The first link in a new one for me. I have not found that one yet but the second link I have read several times trying to see if it applies… @Marky Dissod I told him I’m going down this rabbit hole already. I found seats within 30miles of me that the yard is willing to work with me (it seems) and I might just bite the bullet and see what I can can into this truck! I WANT VENTILATED AND MASSAGE SEATS DAG-NAB-It!
