And actually, since my car did not come with a phone, I am going to be doing the following once the gated swap is done:
--Relocating the TRAC button to the left side of the steering wheel in the blank punch panel (opposite the cruise control paddle.)
--Heated seat buttons will be fitted into the radio filler panel that I am making to surround my touch screen. This filler will be made from an old Pioneer radio out of a 92 SC400.
ECT button will be rewired as planned to the 98+ button.

Best advice I can offer you is to grab hold of the factory service manual and see if you can match up the wires. That's my plan... haha.
Edit:
I also read in the thread that the wiring is the same, so again the FSM would be the best way to find out for sure.
What I would like to know is if a sc400 shifter will work in a 300 and if the shift linkages need to be modified.

I actually have an SC300 shifter now.
My only issue is the wiring.
You don't have to modify the 300's linkage, and can actually just reuse your current one.
I just need help on the wiring, so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

If I remember correctly that's what my friend did. He had a SC400 and the Gated Shifter came out of a SC300. He just swaped the linkage rewired the Gated Shifter. ooh, Igot a print out of the 98 SC300/SC400 electrical schematic but my scanner is gone. So let me know if or when you need that. What's good with that OBD11 ECU & MAF Swap. I need to go for a ride in that BEAST

I have posted pics but seriously....I can't get one definite answer as to the wiring.
I might be able to get another harness, but its from an SC400...though I have heard the 400 harness works.
I would like to just use what I have, since...well, I have it.

Seriously? No one can give any insight to this? This is very frustrating.
Here are some pictures of the wiring that I have with my size 12 shoe for length comparison.
The harness is out of a 1999 SC.
A yard that has a 2000 SC400 can't figure out if their complete harness is the same.
If someone can just give me any help on how to wire the one that I have, provide a picture of what I am missing, I would greatly appreciate it.
