Default modernizing the sc

Ok peeps, I was thinking about some features that the sc should have in order to make it more modern. Heres my contribution...
1. auto up /down windows
2. led lights
3. heated and cooled seats.
Any ideas ?

LED lights has been done several times. The other two would be worth figuring out and posting a DIY.

I added bluetooth handsfree and audio streaming to mine, something it seems that most modern cars come standard with nowadays.

The one touch up/down windows has also been done by a few of us, both mine are now one touch windows.

The DEI 530t is the only one you need for both windows and it's very reliable. I've installed it in my past three cars and they worked flawlessly with each vehicle. Now it's not for those who aren't mechanically inclined, but any competent installer can put these in. The link with installation instructions are below:

Here's my contribution in addition to the things already mentioned
-A double din touchscreen
-Brushed aluminum wrap over the wood trim
-Keyless entry system with push to start (not a cheap ebay one)
-Replace the screen of the climate control with a new one

A smart key retrofit would be most desirable.

It could probably be done but requires a lot of work. If you have the fob in your pocket and are within some range of the car you can open the doors and start the engine without the key by using buttons.

I am talking about using all OEM Toyota parts from a junked newer car; NOT some ebay garbage.

^ This. I want this.

What required in the install? You mentioned completely removing your ignition?
