Not at all. Not even an option I would be interested in. Anyhow, I wouldn't beat yourself down because you got a 2014 versus a 2015. It will always be a constant cycle. In a few months people who own a 2015 model will be complaining that the 2016 model has this, or has that. No big deal just enjoy what you have.

^^ I agree with what you and 250Fsport said...I have the 2015 F sport with the heated steering and ventilated seats and I bet you dollars to donuts that something funkier and sexier will be available next year....Maybe a non rattle option? *LMAO*

lol no rattle. It seems they still haven't addressed this issue from many models ago. They need to concentrate on a better Blue tooth connectivity more than anything. Id trade in my heated and vented seats for this any day!!!! Nothings more frustrating than having to look for your phone and reconnect your device while driving !!!!!

I'm more bothered that the heated seats are close to useless in MY14 FSport. Not enough heat output.

I know if I had the '14 and the '15 came out w/ ventilated seats I'd be butt hurt. I don't really care for heated seats but, butt cooler is a MUST for me. I've had my share of cold winters in Germany and other places, so I've had my fair share of cold seats. just like everything else, you can always find ways to get warmer, but can only do so much to get cooler.


I'm not to bothered about memory seats yet, but it would be an awesome feature to have. I've stated before in other threads; I'm sure the car should have the harness routed, but just tucked away. if this is the case, I'm sure if some junior woodchuck had the time to do it, he/she could have memory seats in their f sport. but then again, it could be the jdm fog lights: have to install "d) all of the above."

Same here! I have the heated and ventilated seats which really cool me down here in Florida and they are ice cold, Love them. I also have the memory seats and heated steering wheel. The heated steering wheel is useless in Florida and i never use it.

FWIW my 2014 F-Sport has the heated steering wheel, but maybe it was only for Canada? No ventilated seats either though, and the biggest annoyance for me is the lack of rain-sensing wipers.

I just brought home a 2022 RX 350 and noticed that the heated steering wheel does not heat the entire steering wheel. It is only at 9 and 3 is where the heat comes on. Is this normal??? The top part of the steering wheel 12 and 6 does not get warm, at all it is cool.

Normal for Lexus. They seem to think we drive with hands at the 9 and 3 positions. My other car heats at least the whole top half (I’ve never checked the bottom half).
