I'm guessing this would work on my W/T

 

+1 I would also like to know this. When I checked out the kit, it said it was for 2008 and up. Just curious if anyone knows if this will fit 2007 nbs.

 

 

 

It is for 07's too. Assuming you have a GMT 900. We don't say nbs or nnbs on the site. Welcome by the way!

 

 

 

 

Thank you for the welcome :thumbs: I have the GMT 900. Just bought it two weeks ago. Already adding stuff. Added remote start and still looking. I am definitely putting this on my list of goodies to buy !!

You can get some good accessory ideas if you go to gmpartsdirect.com and use the accessory label. I love that it gives part numbers so that I can use that to call local places and price shop. You can also put the part number into google and ebay and they will show up. Damn it gets pricy though!!

here are some videos that will help with the installation. YOu can take as much or as little as you want from them.

 

Bottom of seat install

 

top install

 

good videos. both are about the bottom. did you have a link to the top?

 

 

Dont have a video to the top but.....the biggest pain is the back plastic part on the back of the seat. After that is rremoved, there are just a couple little clamps that keep the cover from being pulled up enough to get the heaters in. To get this piece off, lay the seat face down A$$ up with the headrest the furthest away from you....the bottom of the seat should be facing you now.......stick a screwdriver under the plastic piece and move it toward either left or right until you feel a clip. take another screwdriver and push it toward the headrest until it unclips......place something in the gap to keep it from popping back in place......now go to the oppisite one on the bottom side........Now there are 2 per side running up each side of the seat plastic piece.......repeat the process until these are all "unclipped" then the top should slide right out. Hope this isnt too confusing. I will take pictures when i do mine so it is a little more clear.

"Don't forget the ground wire taped to the 8-way connector wiring on the new harness! It gets spliced into the heavy black wire (looks like @ 16ga) in the next 8-way connector up on the junction block. On my truck (no rear seat entertainment center or powered side steps) the next connector up on the junction block was after an empty spot. The pictures kind of show this in picture #44. By the persons lower finger is the cream colored 4-way connector and to its left is an un-populated socket on the junction block and then the next space up is where the new 8-way connector is plugged in. Above that is another empty (on my truck) spot and then the connector with the heavy ground wire in the lower left (as you look at the rear of the connector) corner"

 

i got mine installed today....a little tough to figure out wtf they meant by the wires in "M3" i figured it was 3 from the right and 3 from the top.......never did see where that black ground wire you are talking about is......can you take a picture for me? I know its a pain in the but to do but im a little lost and dont want to go to the dealership for the ecm flash until i get it right. Thanks in advance

It will take me a while to get a picture but on page 5 picture 33 of the installation guide the conenctor shown on the left is the one. It only has one heavy gauge black wire in it, the rest of the wires are smaller gauges. Or did you mean the new wire you need to splice into the existing? The new wire is taped to the new harness. No connector, you will need to splice it in.

 

As far as M3, you pretty much sound like you got the right one. If you look very carefully on that block you will see each row has a letter and each column is numbered. I never go anwyehere w/o an LED flashlight so I was able to see those tiny ***ed numbers/letters.

welll.......i went out to do battle with it again! How could i have been so blind last night when installing it......that black wire was too obvious and the one that i needed to attatch it to was in the brownish plug.... I had some time to clean things up and wire tie it to look a little better under there. Thanks for the tip on the grey loom/switch being the driver's side....the picture shows the grey switch on the passenger side.......Now i just have to go get it hooked up in the computer. My switches match the dash perfect.....you would never know that it didnt roll out of the factory like this!

 

 

***UPDATE**** Went to the dealership and was ina and out in 20 minutes....NO COST! Awesome......everything works grat and the directions posted on here are right on. If anybody doubts whether they can do this mod by themselves or not, It is pretty easy if you take your time and follow the directions. It took me a total of 4 hours from beginning to end. Gimme a hollar if you have questions if you are going to do your install, I can probably talk you through any issues!

Whoa. 4 hours! Thats pretty dang fast!

 

I was going through some old paperwork today and found the 'getting to know your Silverado' booklet that came ith the truck. It shows the controls ARE available on the door handle area, at least if you have the memory seat option. Interesting.

My seats are not the bench style but I do not see any reason why the kit would not fit bench seats IF the larger heating element for the horizontal part of the seat will fit the bench horizontal part. In other words if the seat horizontalpart measurement front to back is similar to the buckets then the kit would probably work. The upper heating element is half the size as the horizontally mounted heater so there should be no trouble there. Also keep in mind the instructions, poor as they are, defintely do not cover bench seats. The mounting for the underseat control box maybe different too, but that box is not very big anyway.

 

You may also need some more double sided fabric tape to help hold the element in place as the bucket seats have that 'crease' in the middle that the element is held in place by,along with sticky tape on the edges.

 

I am by no means an expert but I think this is a 'do-able' thing for bench seats.

What exactly does the dealer need to do?

 

I went in with the installation procedure and they said they could only do the passenger seat recalibration (step 72) And that programming the heated seat module (step 73) was only for SUVs and would not apply to my truck. He wanted their minimum charge of $80 to do anything.
