curious what the additional sensors in the lariat do? There must be some type of temp sensor in the XLT because the AC or heated seats turn on automatically when you remote start depending on temp. Reading the manual on auto the system will pick which discharge points to use along with fan speed and temp. If one were to only add the bezel then auto would only change the temp? Or would it change discharge points and fan speeds as well? I’m trying to see how close I can get to the lariat setup without the ducting.
Has anyone tried more than just the bezel?
That temp sensor is the outside temp sensor. there others inside that sense the interior temp.
the auto climate controls are in lariat and up. So you will have buttons that are not used. I believe they all come with at least heated seats. And correct the dual will not work. Now if you want to get fancy I’m selling a set up that has controls out of a platinum which will work. (My trucks a xlt) along with a dash kit and a iPad mini for 500. With this kit it hides almost all the buttons.
I think I'm one of the first people to get Matt's (mdmay62) cable. it's working! I installed the Lariat front console panel and after some install work (minor trim work removed is about it) I have it programmed and working. It's really awesome. Thanks Matt! It was totally worth it. The only gotchas are making sure you have a pliers to open the seat backs and some zip ties to hold the cable going into the back of the OBD2 port. Instructions were very clear (pictures are better in the online copy). It was super easy!
I appreciate the plug and play aspect of it. If you're interested in getting your heated seats working (and Matt wants to make cables) it's well worth the cost for the simplicity of it.

It's as easy as the manual makes it out to be. Only thing I missed was needing the SCME (local dealer had it in stock thankfully). Matt graciously let me text him for questions too. This was the first project I've done with my truck!
I’m looking to upgrade my climate control on my 2017 F150 XLT. Where can I get the harness for my seat heater to work and any other additional information/ parts & numbers?

the guy is listed above. I sent him a PM. it’s totally worth it; I love climate control and having my seat heaters working.
Can anyone who has purchased the required seat module take a picture of it for me? Have a line on a used one and want to make sure its the right one. Interested specifically in the connectors.
