Ventilated/Cooled Seats in Non-Advance Package RDXs

If someone bought a non-Advance package RDX, could they then replace the seat bottoms from the Advance package RDX and the seat heater switches to get cooled seats? Are the fans built into the seat cushion?

Anyone know which of these components is the ventilated seat part? #25 and #26 perhaps?

Or could it be #36 from this picture?

As far as I can tell, to add ventilated seats to a non-Advance package 2016-2018 RDX, it would cost $1,117.23, which includes shipping. One would need the following parts (I believe):

I'm not sure what the TCI front L and R seat back and cushion parts are, but they are only available in the Advance version of the online illustrated parts breakdown. If one did not need the Advance package up front, but wanted to add ventilated seats later, they could do that.

You would also need to add the AVS module and the associated wiring harness

Avs Unit - Acura (81287-TX4-A31) $ 229.68

This is the controller for the heated and vented seats. It is under the center console storage compartment near the floor. You would also need to wiring harness that goes between the switches and the controller

So I assume you're saying that the controller wiring between the switches and the cooling fans is different between the non-Advance package RDXs and the Advance package RDXs?

The wiring harness on the advanced is different than all other models. The switches has 3 LEDs for 3 fan speeds and 3 heat modes. It would be easier to find an advanced in the junkyard and get everything. After that then you would need to adapt the advanced harness into your existing harness.

In the junkyard? That would be near impossible!

I guess your right, not too many Advanced out there in the junkyards.

If you need, I have the wiring diagrams for both the regular heated seats and the Advanced heated/vented seats.
