Laramie Rear Heated and Vented Seats

[3507QueensBlvd]

My truck has the heated rear seats that recline. They are not ventilated though. I'm not sure if you could get the rears in the Laramie to be vented as well. But anyways here's my VIN so you can look up the wiring for it... 1C6SRFJT8MN702738

Great thanks!! I am fine if I can just pull off heated only.

I will probably check to see if I can do the ventilation as well. I know the front and rear seats look identical with the pinholes in them. So I'm hoping that will allow for ventilation in the back as well.

Yep. More parts but completely doable. Again, huge score having those harnesses present. Voltage and canbus signals should be in the harness. Just need the parts and alfaobd programing. Dealership won't touch it with a ten foot pole. Ask me how I know....

Awesome thanks!

3507QueensBlvd - Did you ever end up adding in the rear heated seats?
Since you had the wiring under the seats, what did you have to purchase to complete the project? I am only looking to add the heated seats in the rear.

Curious as well as I have a 22 Laramie without heated back seats which I thought was weird but all my factory mods I’ve done so far have had the wiring already built in so I’d be curious if I had the entire floor harness with them if not it’s not with it at all.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm in the same boat - 2022 Laramie without rear heat. I have the wiring in the floor, but I'm not sure whether it's worth swapping seats entirely, or installing $60 aftermarket seat heat from Amazon and sacrifice the Uconnect integration, etc. I really don't care about turning it on/off from the screen - it'll just be for occasional passenger comfort. Anyone with experience going through either approach?

Interested as well!

I ended up just installing some after market seat heaters in the rear seats like $60-70 a piece … put the switches for them in the center console , beside the rear USB ports… looks factory… only thing it does not do is the switches do not light up at night… Installation was a “process” but took it slow taking the seat covers off and on.. Right rear seat was a larger pain then the left, due to it being attached to the center console/middle seat….getting the piping reattached to the cushion was probably the biggest pain… (factory used hog rings, I redid it with some nice zip ties )took me about 2 days to do both, but I also sound dampened the whole back area with everything out…. Going factory required a different harness for the front center console, and I seem to think even a different body harness to get the power/signal to the back seats/controllers… not worth it in my opinion for the little it will get used…..nobody sitting in the back seat is going to care that the rear seat heat is not”factory” seats are just as warm as the factory ones…

I think that's exactly what I'm looking to do. Curious if you picked up power directly from a particular fuse or from elsewhere in the car? I know the seats themselves will be a pain, but I figured if I can follow a tried and true approach to getting power I'd be in good shape.

Ran power from the fusebox in the drivers foot well to the rear seats, along the door sills … there is a large bundle running there already that I followed….fuse spot was actually was marked rear seat heat(or something similar)I think there was even a left/right…. i did pull power from the front of the fuse box/piggyback… did not want to pull the whole fusebox and pin in….all pretty straight forward, just time consuming to do correctly.. I do remember that i made an extender harness for the seat heat switch itself, so I could mount it in the center console… ran wires under the carpet .. worked well…

Nice. Ok, tomorrow’s the day. I saw those left/right rear seat heater fuses in the diagram but wasn’t sure if they’re live when the car didn’t come with the heaters installed. Wiring that came with this kit is pretty long - hoping I can get away with not building a new harness. Going to do the mod to lower the rear seat backs while I’m at it.
