Successfully added cooled seats to truck today thanks to White Automotive Media Services WAMS custom BCM programming.

https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/t1-pickup-wams-spec-bcm-programming/

First I swapped my heated seats out with vented seats from an LTZ.  I also gained power passenger seat,  memory seats/mirrors and power fold mirrors (controlled by MSM in seat) see my other posts about this.

You dont have to do all the memory stuff everything still works if you only want to swap to get cooled seats.

 

You will need a new HVAC control switch that has cooled switches- 84692240.

 

You will need programming. 

I purchased autosync device from WAMS.  Autosync is awesome so many things to customize and new features are frequently added.  One time purschase but you continue to have new features added.  WAMS takes very good care of customers.  WAMS added heated rear seat programming to autosync at my request!

 

I loaded new files to autosync and programmed truck within 5 minutes I had OEM cooled seats and they feel great.  All my wiring for seats were already present in my RST. 

 

Add heated rear seats too.  See other post on that.

 

Thank you Chris from WAMS!!!!

I have an LTZ but needed the bench seat in the front. This combination would not allow me to order the truck with ventilated seats.  Is there a way to determine if all the hardware is there and just needs to be programmed? Also, did you get the flash tool or send in your BCM?

Can I ask how much this cost (seats, controls and WAMS services)?  There are only 2 things I wish my 2020 LT Trail Boss had.  Power folding towing mirrors and cooled seats.  Neither are options available on an LT.

Do you have vent holes in your seat cushion? look underneath for a vent motor or feel back of seat for vent motor bulge behind leather.  Check your harness underneath your seat to see if you have all the pins.  I had all the pins in my body harness so i figured all the wiring was there just needed to install LTZ seats.

$1000 for seats,  $120 for switch,  $400 for autosync.  Sold my seats for $600 and I use autosync for other things.  The seats allowed me to install power fold mirrors and have memory seats (memory control module is built into driver seat it controls folding)  The mirrors allowed me to upgrade to 360 view.  They all tie together.  

 

I did 360 view 1st,  figured now I have mirrors that can fold I am going to try to get that to work.  Bought seats and got fold/memory to work.  Did the OEM wireless charger built into console when I bought the oem console harness I bought the one that supported heated rear seat.  Autosync allowed me to activate the cooled seats and heated rear seats works perfectly just like from factory.

 

Power fold mirrors and memory seats

Where can you buy just the seats?  Wonder if I can even add em with just an lt optioned truck.   I almost bought a used ltz for the seats alone... heated seats where I live is absolutely worthless!!

Nordstrums in SD is where I got mine.  Frieght to PA.  Check your harness under your driver seat check and see if you have the pins for cooled seats. I put pin out is in this post.  You will gain power adjust passenger seat too.

I just took delivery of 2022 LT Trail Boss.  This is exactly my sentiment- I'd try anything to upgrade to power folding mirrors and ventilated seats.  Any help is appreciated.

Do you know if this same BCM programming would work for a 2020 custom retrofitting 2021 high country seats?
 

I got seats and bought wiring harnesses/memory bypass harness for them but was told by the guy who makes the harnesses that even if I got the thermostat controls that I couldn’t get Heat/cool to work because nobody had figured out the BCM. 
 

beyond my understanding. To me if you get them power and get an on off button they should work but apparently not.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
