Important System Integration Notes
This kit is currently Driver’s Side only. Passenger side is in development.
Installation requires removal and partial disassembly of the OEM driver seat to extract the factory powered rail and motor assembly.
Factory seat-belt sensor functionality is retained.
All original SRS airbag systems remain operational when installed per the instructions.
In-seat airbag removal (required for any aftermarket seat) is properly compensated using a vehicle-specific airbag proxy included with the kit.
No dash lights or diagnostic errors when installed correctly.
Factory Seat Heating Integration
This system uniquely allows your scheel-mann heated or KLIMA seat to integrate directly with the factory Toyota seat-heater controls when the vehicle is equipped with factory heated seats.
If your 4Runner has factory heated seats, the included harness allows your OEM dashboard heater buttons to control the scheel-mann seat heating.
If your 4Runner does not have factory heated seats, the scheel-mann aftermarket heater controls are used.
This integration is exclusive to this system.
KLIMA Cooling Control
For scheel-mann KLIMA (heated & cooled) seats:
The cooling function is controlled independently from the factory heating system.
Cooling is typically managed using the round control switches supplied with the scheel-mann KLIMA seat, commonly mounted in the center console.
Tolerance Stack is actively developing a future factory-style cooling control solution.
Seat Position Memory
This system assumes your 5th Gen 4Runner does NOT have driver seat position memory.
If your vehicle does have seat memory, you must notify us at the time of ordering so we can configure the correct wiring connector to support it.
Seat memory is supported on a case-by-case basis only.
Core Charge Program (OEM Heater Harness)
If your 4Runner is equipped with factory seat heaters:
Your original OEM seat-heater harness contains a connector that is no longer available.
We supply a donor connector with your order.
A $100 core charge is applied at checkout.
A pre-labeled padded return envelope is included with your shipment.
Once your unused OEM heater harness is returned, the $100 core charge is refunded immediately.
This program allows us to continue supporting factory-heater integration long-term.
