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.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
