Any luck adding ventilated seats to rebel 12 with leather?

I'd really like to see if this is possible or if anyone else has looked into or done this

I added heated and cooled leather seats to my 2010 ram. They were basically plus and play, but after adding the switches, the indicator leds did not function. 2 dealers tried to get them to function but could not. One dealer called the ram tech assist and chrysler made them stop working on it, stating that adding the seats violated some type of build restriction. In short, I would worry about warranty issues if you tried to add the ventilated seats.

So, looking at parts diagrams, it appears that 4 parts are needed per seat, then a reprogram to show up on the controls tab of uconnect.

BLOWER. SEAT BACK. - 68267093AC - $84.94
VENTILATION BAG. Seat Back - 68267089AB - $31.40
BLOWER. SEAT CUSHION. - 68267092AD - $86.23
VENTILATION BAG. Seat Cushion. - 68267081AC - $41.81

$244.38 plus reprogram. (per seat)

Looks like the build codes are
CAJ VENTILATED FRONT SEATS
X8Z SEAT PARTS MODULE

An alternative to retrofitting OEM parts is to go to a Katskinz installer. They have heated and cooled add-ons for leather upholstery installs. If you're unhappy with your leather at all (color, stitching, quality) then aftermarket becomes a better solution for getting ventilated seats. UConnect integration is highly unlikely, but might be worth a quick research to compare against OEM

Do you know if anyone has tried this?

Yep. Completed. Easiest option is a full seat swap and moving your covers over.

I wonder if theese seat vent fans would be able to move air through the cloth sea fabric of a Bighorn?

How difficult was it to add the parts? Any issues?

I just swapped covers over. A little time consuming but very straight forward. Alfaobd and boom, functional with zero wiring changes.

Wondering the same. I was thinking about doing this and getting kayaking leather perforated seats

The harness was already there or did you make it and what is the module?
