That's weird, you may have a bad controller let me know it it does it again.

The fans work great when the controller is set correctly. Probably my fault since I installed it in a different position than recommended so I could use a large zip tie to help hold it in place. A wiring harness was touching the knob when I removed it...could have been turning it slightly as I sat down and hit bumps while driving.

There are at least a few LT1s with Recaros upcoming, mine will have them.
All in for both sides hot and cold. If it would help 2SSRS@Gen5diy, I would be happy to Venmo the beer/refreshment and food for the team to figure out the rest of the puzzle and the kit release party.

Just posted a question about this.... subscribeing for heating and cooling.
All in for both when it gets ironed out

Just checking in to see if any new news on the heating function. Anyone heard anything about it?

Bump for a great product and low price for what you get! It is definitely worth getting this kit before the summer months if you don't have it yet. It is the single best mod I have installed on my car! For reference I would put the skip shift eliminator in 2nd place.
Also try putting some cardboard or a sun shade behind the seat to prevent cool air from escaping into the rear seat area and of course use only the foot A/C vent setting for maximum effectiveness on hot days. |

Anyone know why the heated option is taking such a long time?

The heating elements and vents built into the Camaro aren't the most powerful. I'd also guess that they wanted to keep power drain in check, plus be extra careful to avoid any potential liability issues (aka burnt butts).

1LE Recaro seats heated and cooled?!
Quote:
I believe the folks at Gen5DIY have other priorities. Maybe if a large number of people contact them directly to ask for it, they will start working on it? Looking at this thread, it appears the vendor started producing a solution for the cooling function once a member figured out how to do it for himself and shared his solution here. For the heating function, you should need to identify a few things: - power wires for the heating element - thermocouple wires to read back the temperature Once that’s identified, you need to figure out where to get the power from so you don’t blow fuses, and source a controller that can use the thermocouple readings to regulate the heat so that you don’t burn your ass, or the whole car down. Next, figure out a switch arrangement (single setting or multiple) and a location for it, figure out where to physically mount the controller, and finally how to route the wires and source all the various OEM connectors so that you don’t have to cut/splice wires. Any of you guys stuck at home from the virus want to tackle that project, make it work and then publish the solution so that Gen5DIY can manufacture it for us? I think that may be the fastest way to get there. Also, I’m not volunteering for this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'd imagine the tougher part of this is risk mitigation. Much more risk of someone getting hurt if the heated seat fails vs. vent fans so it takes a lot more design consideration and testing to make sure a product like that is safe enough to sell.

Is it correct that the Recaros have the heated/cooled seat control module built in? Do we know what signal the control module needs to run?
I saw that Summit1le1ss was able to get it working with an external switch -- but kept trying to get it to work with a factory looking system and then the trail goes cold. What does it take to just tell the heated seat control module to heat? I'd go for a hard switch over the digital factory switch anyway. |

I see that the vented setup that was developed goes direct to the fans. But this unit is labeled as "included with seat assembly"??
"Description: Passenger seat, heater control. Camaro." https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts...odule-13511696 Is there a good reference for wiring diagrams for the Camaro/GM Cars? |

Post #224 shows some stuff about the heated seats. (thermistors in seats and work with this module to regulate temp. and does a fail safe test periodically) There isn't any diagrams on how that module is sent power, or power goes to the heaters, or where the operating switch is in the circuit. I seen a website on the bottom of the page in the pic and tried to get access but it said NO! Does anyone have a wiring diagram? Or understand how this circuit is powered/wired/communicating?
