PHXF

available on the IS350 but not on the IS-F....WT-F.
Anyone know if it is possible to put them in?

I imagine it would entail swapping out the heat control switches to the heat/vent switches found in the IS350, running some wires, installing the blowers, and then rigging them to blow into the seats, which I assume are different enough underneath to cause some problems.

^The issue was lack of space in the bottom of the IS-F seat. To achieve the better bolstering, they had to sink the seat down and to the back. The engineers literally ran out of room to stuff the necessary padding and heated/vented seats, so they went with what fit - the heaters only.

from what i also heard.. if they would have raised the seats.. it would have been impossible to wear a helmet ?

That is correct. If the isf had the regular ventilated an heated seating, headroom would be deminished for the taller folks wearing helmets. As javylsu mentioned, space was a factor.

Right but you could order an IS-F with ventilated seats in 2008. They were identical to the seats in the IS350, not the sport seats commonly found in the F. I wouldn't give up the seats for ventilation, they're just too good.

you could order a ISF with venti seats in 2008. I thought this was not possible to order a car this way.
