Add heated/cooled seats?
Is this even possible?
Looking at an IS that - get this... has CLOTH seats...
So if I was to find a crashed IS- and ripped out the seats/switches/wiring harness from switch to seat - is this do-able?
TIA!

Interesting US base models at least have non perforated leather and are prewired for heated seats
Here's what you'll need.
1. Replace seats with heated/vented kind
2. obtain oem heated/vented power switch
3. obtain console panel with the heated/vented switch cut out
4. obtain the the correct AC Amplifier.

Be sure you know what you are getting. I have a 2010 RX350 with Lexus heated seats that do not give enough heat. You may be better off with aftermarket or decide heat is not needed due to the cloth seats.

The above URL is the car...
Turns out it not even power seats.
So the question is - if I got this car for a good price... could I add heated/cooled power seats for somewhere around $1,000?

It's also missing a button on the radio... and it's listed as loaded while appearing to have even less features than the absolute base model car sold in the country.
So there's something weird about the vehicle history here.
The supposed history report available in the auction is even more confused since it lists an in-service date of October 2005... then lists a september 2006 manufacture date (which is clearly wrong- in which case how far can you trust the rest of it)
That'd be a bigger concern to me than how cheap I can upgrade the seats.
(which won't be cheap unless he gets luck to find a complete set in perfect shape in a junkyard... because they're very expensive from Lexus)

My concern is the car has seats in it that never actually came in the car (in the US anyway).
