lol I guess I'm not a real man then because I solved that problem by swapping out the leather seat covers with my old cloth seat covers. Never liked the look or feel of leather seats.
Its dark and cold out right now so it'll have to wait until morning. I'll try putting in the one that I grabbed along with the seats it was the same year car and I'm not sure which features are controlled by the BCM so I don't know for sure if it'll match. I hope I don't have any security light issues which I would think I would with the VIN mismatch. Fingers crossed that it will work because I don't want to have to fork out $200+ to get a new BCM and that doesn't even include dealer programing just to have a warm ass in the winter.
