I wonder is the 2SS 1LE will have the heated and vented Recaros.

I apologise for the delays. I'm still working my butt off away from home and just haven't had any time to do much. I have 3 days back home next week, then head out again for an unknown amount of time. Works just insane right now.

You can do a direct swap with the 2ss controls but the fan will remain on auto speed and must be adjusted through the radio for those not wanting to take circuit boards and switches apart. I drove like that for a few hours before deciding to take everything apart again and see about swapping things around.

Edit: just had another idea to simplify install. Hold on for this. Would be swap two parts and wire.
I will be just be adding the 2ss guts to the 1ss controls, seems like it will be so much simpler than trying to worry about the dual-zone and it's unlikely I would use that. I'm also adding the spectrum lighting to the stereo bezel, pickup up a vandalized head unit off a 2ss for the LEDs, I'm hanging tight for your final write-up. No rush though.

Based on the ordering guide on the chevrolet.com website you can have heated and cooled Recaros. What's interesting is that the 1LE packacke for the 2SS does not come with everything the 1LE contained for the 2017 1SS. Seats, brakes, wheels, magnetic ride, and a bunch of other items are no longer in the 2018 1LE package and are separate line items if you want them. The package only has a few core components as part of it, hence, building a 1LE in 2018 raises the price tag quite a bit from 2017.

That's not 1LE package. That's just 1LE suspension. 1LE for 2SS comes later.

Get a chance to tweak on it any more?

No I have not. Haven't even driven my car, other than this past weekend in over a month. There is a time out issue with the BCM. Works perfect for 5 minutes, doesn't get the return verify signal and stops working. It's a simple program issue.

Are you still working on a way to get the system to work without adding auxilary switches, or still trying to bring the system to life with factory switches?

Factory. It works perfect. Just need the BCM to have net2 programed so it won't time out.
It's really just a time thing for me. I haven't been in FL for almost 6 weeks.

Is there a write-up somewhere showing the parts you need, etc to get this done?

The 5 minute time out is a bummer...sounds easy enough to fix but some re-programming in the mix now vs. "simple" wiring and switch panel changes.

So there is a second fan mounted in the seat, the back of the seat has two zippers

Unzipping the back to gain access to the upper fan does not seem too difficult if needed.

Not absolutely certain of this, but I think the Recaro's are different from this stock seat fan set-up...I believe the Recaro's have only 1 fan in the seat bottom that is ducted to the seat cushion and up the back...
