Hey guys, I have a few quick questing that i hope someone knows the answer to. i have an 05 LS430 with heated and cooled seats. Both front seats are a little torn and I was going to replace them with seats from a junk yard. My question is can I buy non-perforated seats that are just heated from an 01-06 and just forego the cooling feature. Are the heated seats all the same for those all the years? Will all of the seat adjustment connectors as well as the heated seats harness plug and play? If anyone knows about this, I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!

I got a quote of $1250 to fix my torn seats from an upholstery shop and found two pristine black leather seats for $250.

May I ask where you found such a good deal on the seats? Are they being shipped? I need a drivers seat in Ecru

Maybe you could swap the leather and cushions across frames to retain your features. The cooling may not work as well since it is no longer perforated but I don't see why the seat cushions could not be swapped.

The control systems are very different for the climate controlled seats when compared to the regular heated seats, and thus would not be compatible.

you can however take the leather off of your $250 seats and install them on your present seats.i would put a new seat cushion in there while the seat cover is off.

So it is safe to assume that the heated seats would not work if I purchased those seats. Thanks for your input.

**** This first day replying to a post and my second post reply , I usually don't see question about seats , replied to my first post about five minutes ago and already have seen three , well anyway good luck , I may get the seats at the link both of my front seats are ripped and re-upholstery was pretty expensive on my budget, this may be a good alternative.I will update you if I purchase this Item .

Great idea...but all of this stuff cost money and a skilled tech is required to come out right. If you can find a good upholstery shop that is reasonable, this is an option,but be prepaired to spend for the swap.

I had new factory front seat cushions installed on my 2001 ls430ul for $75 labor each at a local upholstery(Chattanooga Tn).

You might get another quote.

Those look very nice. Probably easier to just swap those in then buy used seats. Thanks for the link!

Thanks guys. I will get a few more quotes. Seems like in this area of Florida, when you pull up to an upholstery shop in a LS430, they usually try to throw out an outrageous quote.

I'm going to eventually replace the upholstery and cushion in both front seats. Did you get your done yet? If so please provide pictures and details along with costs.

grierta
