Default Question About Passenger Side Memory Seat for a 2011 3GS

Hey everyone i have a 2011 GS 350 AWD version and i dont have the passenger side Memory seat so i was wondering if anyone could tell me where i could get the passenger side Memory seat function and would it be easy to install that to the passenger side or what kind of changes would i have to make in order to get the memory seat.

Thanks in advance 1SloGS

For those of use who have this function (my Hybrid 08 has memory passenger seats)

It is wired stupid... The car has to "on" and in park to work... Stupid. And worse, the passenger side does not respond to the key fob, like the driver side does.

Either make it so it is a key fob thing so if my wife opens the car, it knows to have the passenger seat on my setting... Or let me press "1" while the car is moving, stopped or what ever... just not in park.

This is one of the few design issues with this car.

^ with the driver it very likely be the same driver all the time, but not with passengers. I can see why the seat is not program with the fob.

I agree it's stupid to need Park to use the memory seat for the passenger. Anyway to disable this for passenger seat?

Thank you for your input i was thinking if it was possible or not but now that doubt is cleared i guess it wont be possible. Its weird because i have seen the feature in 2009's and 2010's and suddenly its not there in the 2011's which is strange i really wish there was a way to install it but i guess not like all of y'all said. Thanks again!!

^ if you really really want I'm sure it could be done, not easy. Look like it's very integrated into the vehicle. I'm curious myself as to what are the components go in to make this memory seat.

I think my passenger memory seat got use once since I got the car. LOL

True i really wanna try it but i dont want to get into doing something and then get stuck in it half way so was wondering if it could be done and im sure it could be but like you said there might be a lot of integration stuff and what not that might be needed to get done to just have that feature for the passenger side.
