Success! Can't even believe I got it to work, but it does!!
I was able to get a pair of Lariat Lightning seats to work on my '22 Pro. Big thank you to @lSherlockl for doing all the leg work, as well as @kdkool for his write up.
I took my time and completed this over the course of three weekends. Below was my journey...
The excel spreadsheet is your bible, study it, know it, trust it, it works. Took me a while to figure out what a lot of it meant but forums and youtube are undefeated
Rear seat swap/install was fairly straight forward. I didn't add heated seats to the rear, so this was probably the easiest part of the project. Basically just remove the bolts, unplug a couple wires and do the reverse on the new seats. The trickiest thing was the latch on the driver side rear seat, that was a pain to get to as the lever pull had fallen.
Next, I worked on the passenger seat, the seat swap itself was again straight forward, undo the 4 bolts and wire harness and the seat pops out. While the seat was out I pinned all the wires according to the spreadsheet in the first post, wrapped the wires in some loom tape and set it aside while I installed the new seat. Once connected back to the truck side harness the seats/lumbar function as they should.
I drove with the truck like this for a week or two... no issues.
Finally, on to main event, installing the driver seat and running wires. Again, removing the seat was easy, 4 bolts and a wire harness. I also removed the center console completely so I could run the wires. I believe there is a write on how to remove the center console somewhere but basically remove the two trim panels from each side of the console, undo the 6 bolts (careful they can and will break with too much torque), undo the two (maybe three) wire connectors and it will lift right out. I ran my custom wire harness from the passenger seat under the floor lining to the driver side then pinned all the wires into the truck side seat harness, again according to the spreadsheet. I was then able to reinstall the center console. From there I ran the twisted pair to C212 and a single hot wire to C265 (F**k C265 and its location, it absolutely sucked getting it out), along the passenger side of the console then into the area behind the glovebox. Tapped and pined the wires accordingly then buttoned everything back up.
Last but certainly not least, Forscan! I followed @kdkool post. Pulled a Lariat As Built and loaded that file into the HVAC unit. Then made the 3 additional changes also mentioned:
IPC
720-05-02 4xxx xx--
APIM (changes to enable the soft button on the touchscreen)
7D0-02-01 xxxx xAxx xx
7D0-02-02 xxx6 xxxx xx
Sat in my driveway as the cold air on my tush whispered, atta boy!
