Default No sensor switches on 2013 es 350

This 2013 es 350 does not have park assist and BSM switches.
The switch slot is simply sealed up, but it appears the seal is removable.
Is it possible to buy these switches and install them in the slot?

Are you saying you have the base model without the sensors? I don't see what adding the switches would do for you, if so. It would probably be cheaper to swap vehicles, than to add the sensors to a base model.

I never knew there is a base model of the 2013 es 350 without sensors... But when I check the dashboard indicator lights, I see the P symbol, I see the LDA symbol as well. The LDA camera is present, the front and rear sensors are also present... The only thing missing, is the button to activate these sensors and get them working.

These features aren't controlled by switches on the dash. They are switched on or off by the vehicle settings on top left of the display. There is a navigation button that you use to scroll through the various settings and turn them on or off. If you have the owner's manual you can read all about it...

I'm pretty sure these are switches for those features. At least my old 2013 UL had them.

You see the lights, because they all use the same dashboard. If you have an ES with parking sensors, I have no idea why someone would have removed the switch. Here's a pic of the base model that is missing them:

Yes, theres switches for those features. If you dont have it, then you dont have it. Too much trouble to add them as you need OEM sensors and wiring.
