Looking for a new Cruiser
Recently I realized that the seat button I hit on my 2001 ES 300 is the same seat button on the LX through 06. I looked at the two seats and they appeared to be the exact same, except for the plastic on the bottom of the seat protecting the mechanics. On the ES their is a ledge, with the Three buttons in a Vertical line Set, 1, 2 .
The LX has this same small three button panel on the Driverside door. The letters are horizontal as opposed to vertical, but it is the same. When I compared the bottom of the seat From the ES to the LC it appears the LC is lacking a small black box that is wired into the three button Panel. I am going to check into this and see If I can order a memory seat replacement for the 2001 ES300/Camry. I would imagine that regardless of the Vehicle it would be the same part number. If this is the case, then the next step would be to order the part, disasseble the seat, plug in the needed components, which should fit ok, because the seat bracket is the same as the LC. Then test to make sure and cut a hole in the side cover, mount the 3-button panel, and Viola.
A Landcruiser with memory seats! This could probable be done to the passenger side seats as well. Sans Lumbar support pre 03, but I don't think the LX470 or the LS430 ever got passenger seat adjustments by memory. Which is sad considering you can get it as well as the Seat air conditioners in the ES330, a dramitically lower priced model.
I am going to call Toyota/Lexus here, All the Parts guys, please check the part numbers. Look over the schematics and see if this is doable. If so list a price qoute and I will buy from you. I hope to have this solved by the end of the week and will keep you posted.
