Default Converting the front seats?

I was wondering if there was a write up on how to transform the front seats into vented & memory seats if it wasn't a factory option? I would love to just trade up for an IS350 but I just bought the IS250 and got a stellar deal on it so I was just wondering if it were possible/feasible to do.

you'd have to buy them. I'm sure the wiring in the same so youd prob just have to plug them in and then get the center console piece that has the switches for both

memory seats came as part of the sport or luxury package

(you'd at least need new door panels, possibly a different body ECU not sure... and the side mirrors would be different as well since they'd also be memory... doubt it could be done for any reasonable cost)

Here's what you'll need. The base model came prewired for it.

1. Replace seats with heated/vented kind
2. obtain oem heated/vented power switch
3. obtain console panel with the heated/vented switch cut out
4. obtain the the correct AC Amplifier.

Then you do not have the lux package.

Memory seats are a defining characteristic of it.

You have the premium package (which is just heated/vented seats and woodgrain)
