Yep
it seems that way. Been searching for days to find a fix for this. I did notice when I used forscan to add climate controls and heated seats to home screen when I let my truck sit over night the next day the heated seats could be controlled from the touchscreen. And that was with manual controls

It already works with the XLT bezel
What are you suggesting? Your post makes no sense. Heated seats work fine with the XLT bezel.
If you meant the Lariat bezel - for the hundredth time, it’s missing wiring and hardware throughout the truck. Hacking anything doesn’t change that.

Correct. Apologies if that wasn’t clear in the post. This was what I was thinking. I don’t know if anyone has tried it but again, in theory could that work?

in theory it should because you are basically bypassing any fcim. And if the xlt fcim directly powers the heated seats an 12v auxiliary switch would do the same thing. Just wouldn’t have high medium and low.
