Question RE: Rear center seat belt location?

I have a 04 LS 430 and I was wonder if you guys know where the rear center seat belt buckle is located at? I see that there is a mini shoulder belt but I don't know where to connect it to? Do I have to lift up the bottom seat to fish it out? I only see the two main rear seat belt buckles. I would like to make sure all 3 passengers in the rear are safe

thanks in advance!

The buckle for the center seat is located on the same side as the rear driver's side seat buckle. It might have slipped under that buckle. Look carefully and you'll see it probably all embedded inside. I usually just buckle both and pull up hard.

thanks AlexusAnja. I checked the car manuel and I saw a pic of it on that side. I tried fishing around and was not able to get it. I will look again tonight.

thanks!

yeah same situation here, i guess when my stereo shop installed my amp + sub and had to remove my rear seat (for some reason) that they failed to push up the center seat buckle plug thing back up and it is still stuck under the seat or something. i always forget about it until that 5th person tries to get into my car and then i'm like damn i've been meaning to look into that.

I wonder if removing a rear seat in an LS430 is as easy as in the 90 LS I had and in the 00 LS400 I have now -- takes about 30 seconds ... grab the lower leading edge of the seat cushion and pull up hard. The attached illustration is for the non-power rear seat. The illustration for the power rear seat can be viewed by going to the website shown in the diagram.

Default Can't find a way to dig out rear center seat belt latch rx400h

I have the same problem. I can't even see the latch. None of the comments below give me directions.
What can I do to get it out?. I tried needle nose pliers but can't even find it. Also a wire coat hanger. Thanks in advance
