iphone cord stuck under seat! HELP!!!
 
2016 ES 350 - iphone cord charging end (the part that goes into the phone) somehow got stuck under the seat (in the driver seat mechanism??). No matter what I do, moving seat forward, backward, up, down, the cord is stuck. I was about to just cut the cord, because the seat seems to be operating normally otherwise, but thought I'd check with the experts. I am not especially handy, so I am hoping that the solution does not involve removing the seat. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

Unfortunately the only way you can find out is to get in there and look. I hand held mirror with a flashlight will help, or else use for phone and set it on camera and start looking. Good luck.

First, remove the engine. Next.... =)
Yea the only thing to do is get down and look under the seat with a flashlight to see where things are and if you can un-stick the cord--or to find out if it is embedded in the seat moving gears, etc. That probably wouldn't be good.

Highly unlikely you need to remove anything. Have someone small with small hands to go take a look. Or use a borescope.
