Cooled Seats?

Stonewall11 · August 9, 2015

I've got an 2014 LTZ Crew Cab with heated seats and the heated seat only code in my glove box. I am one of those guys that just sweats and is always hot. Even with the AC on full blast..

What I am wondering is.. If I got my hands on a pair of perforated seats and got the new buttons for my dash. Could I make those seats work in my truck.

Also.. Would my local GM dealer work with me and let me buy the seats and new dash cover/buttons or would I have to get them privately. Been searching online for information on this topic but haven't been able to find much.

I just also have to say that I am aware I could go the after market route for the cooled seats but would prefer the OEM parts.

Thanks in advance and hope I put this in the right sub section!

Honestly, unless mine just aren't that great, the cooled seats aren't anything to brag about. If you want see if they have anything aftermarket. May be the better option. It would be very costly to go with the oem parts

Might want to have yours looked at if they don't work well. Mine get cold enough to make me personally cold and cause me to turn them down.

OP. I am sure if you bought new seats from dealer or aftermarket you could wire them up like stock. I can't imagine that GM would use a hundred different wiring harnesses specific to each trim level and I'm of the opinion that the hook ups for everything a truck can have are probably already there and would just need the controls and a seat.

And a relay and a fuse as well most likely.

On mine you can feel a slight breeze coming through (on the high setting) but once the ac actually gets going it makes the seats feel like they ain't even on

Oh that's crap, I hate it when people don't care enough to respect other people's things. Just another reason I lifted mine.

Well, nice thing is the dealer is paying for the dent to be pulled as well as the paint and also is gonna touch up a few other spots I showed them. So it's like it's a blessing in disguise lol.

I don't wanna lift this truck cause my other one is already lifted and everything done to it. This truck is my DD and use it for work everyday so I rack the miles up pretty quickly

Oh that is very lucky for you! Yeah I only have the one truck and a HD Roadglide so of course the truck is my daily driver as well but I live and work in a pretty small area so I don't lose any gas mileage as it already sucked before the lift.

I need to use my cooled seats because I live on the face of the sun. However, it takes a while for any cooling to start, and then another while for much help. They don't work very well, IMO.

Agreed. Headed to west texas Friday it was 108* outside. Cooled seats were useless.

Are there different types of leather in these trucks? Cause I hear people a lot saying that the seats don't work well and mine get efn cold.

austingta · August 9, 2015

same leather. different thermometers

I'll take those not working ones off your hands and fix em up nicely.

I doubt you will be able to get this to work, last I heard the cooled seats function is controlled via the BCM module. While you can get the hard parts, there will be no way to have the BCM reprogrammed to have the feature turned on in it coding.
