Interior swap

Interior swap
So I was able to get a hold of a complete black interior set and was wondering if anyone knew the compatibility between a seat with seat warmers in a GS that didn't come equipped with that feature. I obviously wouldn't be able to utilize that feature in my car since it didn't come packaged but I was wondering if the rest of the seat adjustments would still work or is the plug completely different? If anyone could chime in who has done the swap, I'd appreciate it. I have a 1999 GS and the interior is from a 2004 GS so I'm wondering what issues I'll run into?

Under my understanding of all vehicles, when it comes to different packages. Its easier and most likely cheaper to just make one set of harnesses for all the model/package cars and for cars without certain features, the complete harness will still there, but will just have plugs hanging there unused. This was the case in my other car with heads up display, some other models didnt have the heads up display, but the wires were still there and people would buy the HUD and install it and have it work 100% like if it came with it. What am I getting at? I believe there is no reason for you not to be able to utilize the seat warmers, all you would have to do is acquire a new center console with the 4 buttons needed to use them. Best way to be sure (before you buy it) is remove yours and see if there is an extra plug not being used. Kinda how you can swap a navi model GS to an after market unit and buy the climate control off a non navi unit GS, its the same plug for the climate control. Its been a while since I've removed mine, but I want to lean towards yes there is an extra harness under there. Also, removing the seat, do the same thing, see if there is an extra plug down there too. The plug for the seat functions should be exactly the same since the only difference between the seats is the one plug for the warmers.

I have a non-seat warmer model, and when I was putting in led's in the VSC/power switch, I really think I saw an extra pair of plugs hiding below the two switches that were unused and meant for seat warmers. I could be wrong be, but in the next week I was going to pry the VSC switch back to fix its led, because it blinks over bumps, so I'll take a pic of what see and post it here.

Okay so I'm waiting on my new console to come in and I found the plug for the buttons on the new console but also found two additional plugs and was wondering if anyone knew what they were used for? When I searched others have claimed it was just as simple as pluging in the single harness to the new console but seeing the extra two plugs under the storage bin is a bit confusing. anyone?

If I'm not mistaken the additional plugs are the factory phone connector...
