Sounds like a awesome project. I remember asking if they made a F Sport with rear seat controls and some of the other Luxury model features because that is what I would have wanted and was disappointed they didn't. I would have loved to be able to get a F sport and then spend less then $500 or so on a mod to get the rear seat controls.
I got the junkyard special, paid $88 for the rear center armrest with controls, $100 for the lux model AC amplifier.
Once I do the mod probably in the spring I will sell the armrest and my stock ac amplifier to recoup 70-80% of the cost of this mod.
I might also install aftermarket seat heaters for the rear seats and mount the buttons on the same panel as the other controls.
Would you happen to have the part numbers to everything? I tried to read from the picture but am having a hard time.
Also, when you used car-parts.com, what search criteria did you use? I’m having a hard time trying to find the part on that also.
Thanks and nicely done!!!
Don't have the part numbers. Also Lexus changed the original part numbers.
What you need to do is search for rims or steering wheels, find the cars with the luxury package and ask the junk yard about the ac amplifier. The parts are hard to find. They don't list all the parts on the car, that's why you have to ask about it when you find a car.

did you end up doing this mod? i am trying to do it but can’t find a connector that the seat plugs into
I've done this. Are you talking about the connector in the seat? Only lux seats have the wiring and depening on the year there's a lot more wiring yoy have to do

I have a 2014 base and i got replacement lux seats but there’s no connector that plug into the seat
There's a small cable you'll need to buy that connects behind the right rear seatbelt area to the rear climate controls. There is two options for the cable, one is for heated seats and the other without heated seats. The part number I used for my 2013 GSh non heated seats was 82176-30010.
