I would be suprized if there was but i havent looked so thats not much help. a little information if you didn't know the seats are not "cooled" they are ventilated. what that means is ambient air is drawn through the seat and exhausted under the seat that is why if you turn the "cooled" seats on with the windows open it basicly does nothing.

I actually did know that. But what I have not heard before is the whole window being opened part. Why would the window being open have any impact as opposed to being closed?

Because there is no cooling in the seat it uses the ambiant air temp. so if you have the window open and its hot the seat fan is pulling in hot air and not cooling you or the seat. try it some time and you can feel what i am trying to explain.

The seats suck in air -- in summer just 5 minutes of remote start will give it a head start with tinted windows. 10 minutes makes for a cool vehicle. This is where the hybrid and EVs shine in that they're not burning gas to pre-cool the vehicle.

There was a ductwork kit for a previous generation, but as far as I know the seat design has changed.

I'm disappointed to learn my cooled seats suck.

I’ve also wondered about this. My buddy has a sierra 1500 and his cooling seats rip. Can’t sit with them on max for greater than 5 or so minutes without the giblets freezing. My truck feels like a little person is blowing air through a small coffee straw, and on high sounds about like that too. The seat cooling or ventilation needs some upgrade.
