Default Anyone swapped heated/cooled seats in a non heated/cooled equipped IS?

Anyone have any resources or knows if it's possible to swap seats out to the heated and cooled seats?
I realize I'll need the center dash trim and the center dash dials that control the seats but is there anything else?

Would I also need to get the memory seat panels on the doors? I don't care to have memory seats but if that's what's needed to do the swap correctly then I'll try and find a totalled out IS at a junk yard and pull all necessary items.
Hopefully I don't need to pull the the ECU or anything.
TIA

search my user name. fluxx, made a userguide somewhere on the forums. you just need the seats, on/off swithc and one of the modules...

its doable, cause i did it, but 100-150 bucks for the 2 pieces, swithc and controller modules and the seats are a crapshoot. seen them anywhre from 200-1000 for a set

You dont need the memory seats for the heated/cooled seats to function. Many IS owners dont have the memory function but do have the heated and cooled seats.

I got a base model IS350 but got heated/cooled seats. Not sure if it's included in base IS350s, but I don't got memory seats or NAV.

You have the premium package- which is heated/vented seats and woodgrain, nothing else.
