Hi - posting here as well as in my thread I started in the 'interior' forum.

I am trying to enable ventilated seats - these were taken out of a 2020 Laramie, all wiring harnesses are connected. I have a 2020 BigHorn with the 8.4Uconnect - truck had dual heated seats before and the new seats are installed. I just updated using AlphaOBD that now shows the ventilated control option on the Uconnect screen, so I know I got that part right. However when pressing the vent control icon, nothing happens. Is there anything else I'm missing maybe in AlphaOBD? The new seats had the identical wire harness connectors as the old seats, everything is connected. I'm as close to 100% that they are ventilated and seller (off ebay, reputable and no reports of any previous misrepresentation on anything they have sold) said they tested before listing.

I only saw in the "Body Configuration" an option that was "front ventilated seats present" and that's all I toggled to 'yes'. Looking for any other suggestions/input on what to maybe look at to get these working.

Thanks!

There is another option in Body Computer--->Car config change--->Memory: Front vented seats present . Try activate that too. I dont have vented seats, just looking in alfaobd menu.

Were you able to get the vented seats to operate via AlphaOBD?
