Default Seat Warmers question

Kind of a noob question BUT are all the ISX50s pre-wired?

i have an 09 w/o Navi, w/o seat warmers etc...non perf seats no ML.

i was installing the Fly audio NAVI unit and noticed that there is a plug in the center console that is for the seat warmer. my qustion is are the heat coils present? are all the heated/cooled seats perf leather?

TIA!

They do make IS250's with Heated seats but not ventilated. I sat in a pretty much loaded IS250 AWD in Chicago and it did NOT have cooler/ventilated seats... crazy i thought! The **** only had red and would only move one way...

Did anyone ever find out a final answer on this? I ask because I am looking very closely at buying an IS250 but I am having trouble finding what I want. I mainly want the heated seats, nothing more because I am planning on going the FLYAudio route with the stereo/nav.

My question is - Can I purchase an IS without heated seats and add it later (in a cost efficient manner)?

Most are going for 24,900 ish here in the Wilmington, NC area. I am looking for a 250, black on black, with heated seats. Everything else I plan on adding later.

I would get the heated/ventilated seats ....

If you want to add it later you would need a new center console with the correct switches and new seats ... (If the car is even wired for it). If the car isnt wired for it, you might not be able to add it at all...
