Adding Cooled Seats to NON-premium models

Don't know if anyone is happy about the new CarPlay update that has a cool, clear "glass" look, which you can try in the iOS 26 beta program. The fresh look is great, and iOS 26 brings a dark mode to CarPlay that makes night drives less hard on your eyes. I always got a bothersome prompt for the Toyota app when I plugged in, but I fixed it by simply turning off Face ID for the app in my iPhone settings, the annoying pop-up went away, and my CarPlay has been perfect since. If you have the same CarPlay trouble with your Tacoma, change the Face ID settings and you'd be good to go.

Hey all, new here, new to Tacoma. I just got a 2024 TRD OR three weeks ago. Had to take it back to the dealership for tint that I swindled into the deal (or they swindled me, not sure). They gave me a rental and it had cooled seats...

So. Most things on the premium, I wasnt too mad about not having. However, the cooled seats, now that i've experienced them in the heat of summer, I want them. Do we know if anyone has, or if it's possible, to swap cooled seats into a non-cooled seats truck? I know I would need the buttons for the center dash piece, but is all of the wiring there already? could be as simple as plug and play?

Thanks,
Mike
