Well, like most of my great projects, this one seems to be starting on accident. I have a new-to-me 2013 Base that I just picked up CPO with 30k miles. The original owner had someone install leather seat covers, but no heated seats. I *love* heated seats, and find them nearly impossible to survive with on a EV because I live in the great white north and it gets awfully cold here. I've noticed I churn through a lot of heat in the cold weather here becuase its just unbearable with cold leather + 15 degree F temps.
Fast forward to just now: I found what I'd say is a rare part on ebay- the white center control stack without Nav and with the heated seat control buttons, exactly what I needed for my project. I made a way-too-low offer to the recycling yard so that I could get this thing out of my system and tell my cold backside to deal with it because they'd never sell it that cheap. Well, they accepted my offer so now I'm the proud new owner of 1 piece of this puzzle.
I found some other threads about people wanting to start this but I didn't see anyone finish the job. The part should be here next week, I found a set of black leather seats locally, so.. if you're interested in a OEM upgrade for heated seats- follow along!
Can anyone tell me what software I'll need to code the HVAC computer after the seats/panel and heated seat computer are all installed?
Thanks!
