Driver-side seat and mounting package for upgrading your Toyota FJ Cruiser with a scheel-mann Vario F or Vario F XXL heated seat. This package includes the scheel-mann seat and a vehicle-specific Tolerance Stack mounting system, providing a complete solution for the driver position.
Overview
This package provides everything required to install a scheel-mann Vario seat into the driver position of the FJ Cruiser while retaining Toyota’s factory safety systems and eliminating airbag warning lights.
The Vario seat focuses on ergonomic support and adjustability, offering a substantial improvement over the factory seat for daily driving and long-distance travel.
Seat comfort and adjustability
scheel-mann Vario seats are built around an orthopedic design that supports the natural curvature of the spine and allows the driver to fine-tune fit and posture.
Key seat features include:
Integrated seat heating in the seat base and backrest
Map pocket on the rear of the seat
Multi-point adjustability to accommodate a wide range of body types
Adjustability highlights include:
Adjustable lower cushion depth to support both short and long thigh lengths
Adjustable upper bolsters to tailor torso support
Infinitely adjustable thigh support via rotary adjustment
Four-way integrated lumbar support, adjustable up/down and in/out
Forward-hinging seat back for rear access
Custom upholstery options are available directly from scheel-mann. For details, see the scheel-mann upholstery page.
Vehicle-specific mounting solution
This package includes a vehicle-specific Tolerance Stack driver-side mounting system engineered exclusively for the FJ Cruiser. This is not a universal bracket.
The mounting system offers two seating positions:
A standard position for average-height occupants
A tall position for drivers requiring additional legroom
Seat height is positioned at just under the midpoint of the factory seat height adjustment range, closely matching the OEM driving position.
Safety system integration
By retaining Toyota’s factory sensors, all original SRS airbag functions continue to operate as designed, with
the exception of the in-seat airbag removed when installing any aftermarket seat.
That circuit is properly addressed using a vehicle-specific airbag proxy, included with the package.
Structurally, the factory seat belt mounting location is retained, avoiding the use of secondary or compromised mounting points.
Seat heating integration
scheel-mann Vario seats include integrated seat heating. Since the FJ Cruiser was not offered with factory seat heaters, this package includes the necessary heater harness extension for use with the scheel-mann supplied wiring.
