Heated seats installed, not working

I picked up a set of 2SS seats and the heater control (radio face plate)from a 11 SS to install in my 10 1SS. I installed the seats, and the radio faceplate from the 11SS and the seats won't turn on. I know this has been done before but didn't see any threads on it. Am I missing something like a relay, controller or fuses that need to be installed? Went to drive it, getting an airbag light also. Is this normal? Gonna do a battery pull when I get home to see if that clears it

Thanks
Mark

The controls on the HVAC will send the canbus message for the seats, but if I recall correctly, the BCM has to be programmed to control the seats.

Probably just take it to the dealership to do that I'm guessing?

You can try, though from what I've gathered... Most dealers won't/can't do it, because the programming for features are tied by VIN and the software won't allow for individual options to be enabled (or whole "calibrations").

Quite frustrating to me, coming from the VW world, where all one usually has to do is change the module coding to enable/disable stuff...

There is an airbag in the seat, make sure you didn't disturb that connection.

I know this is an old post, but the '10s have a seat position sensor that the '11s+ don't have. The sensor, it's flag and it's associated wiring has to me moved to the '11+ seats or you will get an airbag light on a 2010.

Heated seats work without programming if your radio has them.

I only needed to add the seats and faceplate with controls but I had already done that when I did Mylink install.

I have a 2011. When I added my oem heated seats they worked without any programming. 2010's have a different pin out on the seat harness so that may be an issue.
