I had the same problem, brought the car in and the dealer could not reproduce noise. After I got the car back the noise was gone, so whatever they did worked, even though they said they couldn't find the problem.

I've found this to be the common cause of this problem as well.
I wish guys would stop presenting TSIB unless they knew it would indeed rectify the problem. The seat base squeak is a very generalized TSIB that applies to lots of models concerning removal of locator pins that are noisey against the body of the car. There aren't any locators on the IS so that TSIB doesn't apply.
I've generally taken loose the seat and applied silicone paste to the body where the seat mounts to and reinstalled the seat. That has taken care of all the IS seat squeaks I've encountered.

I just heard the squeek from my passenger seat last week, bringing it in tomorrow. The dealer did know that there was a tsib on the issue.
