You dont need to do this anymore, its done through custom BCM programming now all OEM

I contacted you yesterday I believe.

Thanks, Jeff

you will also have to buy the heated seat module with the custom bcm programming

Is darth vader still selling these kits?  I'd like to do this install in my 2015

[RubenHG]

lots of great info on here!!! I'm completely non tech when it comes to programming and stuff like that. Got a question tho. If I have 2 front seats out of a 2015 with heated and ventilation wires and all still good and installing them in an 2008 ( got the brackets & power figured out ) do I still need one of them LIN systems to make these work with the stick switches?  I can see the wires run to small module but don't know what wire does what.

Chris is a great guy to work with and the custom BCM programming may be the best way to do this easily, so I highly recommend anyone looking to do this reach out to him.

 

For anyone wondering, not selling any harnesses, all the information to do this is included in this thread including the controller to get the switches to work.  Glad to see some have had success, it was a fun project and interesting to dive into the LIN bus.  I am just too busy with YouTube and breaking my Silverado every time I take it to the track to spend a lot of time on projects like this anymore.

i do have this working, but after awhile it only puts the seats on high heat on every setting. maybe  my controller went bad. been watching just about all your videos and have learnt alot and laughed my a%% off at some of the others

Okay, here is the big update. The seat heating portion is done, everything is tested and confirmed to be working, the harness has been built. I am awaiting an enclosure for the power board, and bugging my wife into letting me get a 3D printer so I can make my own enclosure, on top of that I am waiting on the elements for the passenger seat. I haven't done much on the AC side at all, mainly because I don't have a set of seats to experiment with, feel free to ship me a pair of front seats, black leather, if you want to donate to the cause.

 

Okay, I have been coy up this point of completing the project while trying to decide if this is something I want to monetize for the few people who want this functionality on their non-fancy trucks, like me. But I will be honest, if you can take all of this information I am about to present and do it yourself you deserve to do it without giving me any cash. So to that end here comes all the information of what I have used to accomplish this project.

 

Seat heater elements (In lieu of stock seats with heaters):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001L6HYQK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

$28 per seat

 

Dash trim with seat heater or seat heat/AC buttons:

Ebay or your favorite GM parts supplier, can provide part numbers if need be

$100 or so

 

Switch Connectors:

http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/31068-1011/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs7eK6h2EBtKuk1fUeupRrxcLsO5tRhpWs%3d

Less than $1 each

 

Pins (For about everything on this truck with small gauge wire, buy extras)

https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Connectors-RECEPTACLE-CONTACT-pieces/dp/B00LVKB3S6/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1489871981&sr=1-1&keywords=928999-5

These can be found for cheaper elsewhere, do some looking, but lets say $10

 

Power board:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5VRZWF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

$16

 

Controller, can't say enough great things about the guys who make this over in Russia. I am working on getting a discount to bring a bulk order over, check out www.cannylogic.com for more information:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Automotive-Visual-Programmable-Logic-Controller-CANNY-7-/162358910401?hash=item25cd585dc1:g:jHAAAOSwVL1WC5Jd

$100

 

 

And of course various wire, crimpers, etc.

 

Wiring is simple. Use the upfitter manual but basically you are going to have these wires to hook up:

 

Controller:

Power (tied in with power and ground for the switches)

Ground

Lin 1 (Channel 9 to driver switch LIN)

Lin 2 (Channel 10 to pass switch LIN)

Channel 0 DO to Power board Signal 1 in

Channel 1 DO to Power board Signal 2 in

Channel 2 DO to Power board Signal 3 in

Channel 3 DO to Power board Signal 4 in

 

Power board to seats (both power and ground for elements will land on power board):

Channel 1 to Driver Heater Back

Channel 2 to Driver Heater Seat

Channel 3 to Pass Heater Back

Channel 4 to Pass Heater Seat

 

And then you are going to need the program in the picture I have attached. Don't worry, if you ask nice I could be inclined to email it to you. And I might even be convinced to sell a couple of these. The completed harness, controller and power board would run around $250, you would supply your own switches, and seat elements but I would make it in a way where all you would have to do is plug the switches in and tie in the 8 wires from the seat heater elements (Screw terminal, super easy).

 

Thanks for following along with this project the last couple of weeks and I will update you all when I start to tackle the seat AC.

 

Thanks,

Kyle

 

 

So I have a question? With the above info, I should be able to run a single canny 7.2, 2 PWM boards and control both heaters and blowers? Correct?

Does anyone know where to purchase a Canny7 these days?  With the "situation" in Ukraine, it appears that the Canny products can no longer be purchased outside of Russia....
