It's a work-in-progress. Still doing a lot, will update once I'm ready. But frankly speaking, I am waiting for Lexus to release an overpowered GSF with AWD.

I can't find where anyone said where to plug the wire into the seat. Also, it looks like there was bracket to mount the factory switch. Did nobody try mounting the switch to it with zip ties or something custom?

You have to wire up the plug yourself, doesn’t exist. The US spec seat frame didn’t have the mount for it. Actually if you cut the foam like I did the switch fits in there tightly and doesn’t move.

Ok, I see. Does that mean you need to unbolt the seat to get at the wiring to the existing switches or can you do it by only peeling back the seat cover like shown. I'd be more interested in doing this if I don't have to take the seat out.

I'm bored at work so I thought I'd put together pics of all the GS350 seats in cars for sale near me, maybe it helps you identify what colour etc. Had to take a bad screenshot sorry.

Can anyone who did this mod share some of the details on where to wire the switch? Does this Subaru harness plug directly into the switch without modding it? OEM 14-16 Subaru Forester Auto Dimming Mirror w/ Compass Wire Harness H501SSG010 | eBay Where do you connect the other end of the harness?
