Raptor Rear A/C + HEAT Options

Consolidated info about 2nd Row heat A/C for North American models from following sources:
The good: many parts seem to be the same on raptor\non raptor versions and the install doesn't look overly complex
The bad: it's a lengthy install, at minimum removal of front seats plus complete centre console disassembly.
The ugly:

The main point of contention
looks to be whether or not front duct 18C433B has somewhere to plug into the central HVAC on North American models.

Unfortunately, someone has to disassemble just to find out. So if you see someone ripping apart the central console for stereo or other mods get them to take pictures of the front HVAC assembly and look for a spot to plug in. Also I have a question for those with AC vents to confirm whether or not 2nd row Heat\AC is controlled via onscreen display and if is independent from front air flow or shared? I think user @Mooncat747 has a raptor with rear vents, maybe he can tell us.
  • If air flow is shared - Probably just need to order the rear ducting/vents and plug em in.
  • If air flow is independent - possible total front dash disassembly to swap out one part + FORSCAN to enable controls ?
Something to consider is that if airflow is shared, this would reduce flow from front vents accordingly, and may be why they removed from North American models to prevent fogging and help with window defrost in winter.

Does this mean you have installed these parts? Or you just have access and are sharing pics of these parts?

Curious where the tube plugs into, can't quite tell from the diagrams.

Living in the south (USA) I am very eager to find out how to implement this. 😁

@Mooncat747 any additional information on what is needed and if the install is plug and play with existing HVAC blower assembly.

Also where did you order the parts needed from?

Thanks
