You could probably parallel park just looking at the 12.3" display, becomes like a video game.

I just placed an order for a new flaxen one, $82 on eBay from a dealer in UAE, hopefully it's available. I forgot all about this thread/mod until recently.

I love having my passenger's seat and my driver's seat kinda in the same position. I may have to add a switch too.

Thanks!

I have removed part of the foam, and it’s squeezed from sides by the rest and sits there just fine; maybe will epoxy it in summer to align more like oem

Cut the foam out and just stuck it in there - it's snug.

For anyone doing this mod the one plug from this Subaru harness($15) is the perfect fit, easier than buying the Toyota plug and wiring it yourself.

Installed today a bit of a pain but so worth it. I cut right on the stitching to get perfect alignment.

I got an extra switch and wrapped it in flaxen synthetic leather I cut from one old headrest I still had from my base seats(currently have lux seats). I used contact cement, a scalpel, and a black sharpie.
