Default Retrofit massaging seats into modern luxury '06 LS430

Greetings all, new LS430 owner here! While the car is in the shop being prettied up and fixed for a lifetime of use, i am wondering if it'd be possible to install massaging seats from the UL model on the heathen variant, cooled seats and working radio controls might not be a given but what about the massage function? And also, how would i go about ordering those? I don't live in USA so i can't search junkyards for those.

Welcome to the forum! I don't mean to be a downer in this post but the massaging seats on the UL were only for the rear seats and to be honest they weren't really massaging seats. They should be called vibrating seats. If it were possible it wouldnt be worth the time for that massage in my opinion. I suggest you test out an UL first.

Ah, so sad to hear that then! I've seen some kits that go inside normal seats that include massaging and a fan for the bottom of the seats, so i could go ahead and do that to my driver's seat and the rear bench, i bought it with 190k miles for 7.6k USD, one of the very few available in here. All seals are leaking so they need replacing!
