Need some help. I have a 2016 Bighorn that started life with the 8.4” RA4. I converted to a 2019 Classic UAS and it works great. I put in the heated/vented seats from a 2014 Laramie. Seats function properly with the factory switch panel installed. The soft icons won’t appear in the radio even with turning them on in Alfa. The “controls” screen resized to allow for the buttons but they aren’t there. When turning the seats on, indicators do momentarily appear on the screen. I can even toggle auto-on comforts from the radio. I installed the latest heated/ventilated module under the drivers seat thinking this would solve but change. Any idea what else needs to be swapped or changed?

It may take a couple of days for the truck to take all the changes. It's also possible that some modules aren't going to work with each other

It’s been over a week. The new heated seat module is same p/n for a 2012-2019, just an AF instead of AA suffix. Software is newer, too.

It's possible than the 2019 uas isn't "compatible" with everything else. Although the 2019 shares a lot of commonalities with the 4th gens, it's possible that certain things just won't function correctly.

@Jimmy07 may have a better handle on this

From other posts, they would show up with seats from a 2016+ I have a feeling it has to do with them being from a 2014. That’s why I installed the newer module.
