Default Swapping 03 perforated seats with 01

Hi -

The back bench leather seats in my lexus ls430 are torn. I just bought an 03 back bench that are perforated unlike mine. While the guy on the phone was convincing in saying they would fit, I'm now starting to get worried as these perforated ones seem to have features that my car doesn't have (cooling/heating on the back bench). Are they going to fit?

Thanks

My 2004 LS has perforated seats in the rear, but it does not have any sort of cooled, rear ventilation seating.

The UL version has all the heating/cooling/vibrating features, and comes in a "split" design with 2 seats and 2 backs. The non-UL version do not have any special features, and comes as a "bench" design with 1 bench seat and 1 back.

Anyone else with a UL think the middle seat is extremely uncomfortable?

But my question is when you swap out the seats in the back from the standard bench seat to the UL separate seats, can you hook them up to have the cooling ability work, and if so, also the reclining ability also?

Well I have a 01 ls430 with a complete 04 convert. The rear seats have no power at all. It could be a fuse. I haven't had time to look into. Not even the seat warmer works. It's a ul also
