Quick Facts
Driver side • Tacoma 2nd & 3rd Gen • NON-KLIMA (heated-only) seats • Storage not included • Donor rails required only for powered seats
This driver-side seat mounting system allows you to upgrade your Toyota Tacoma with scheel-mann NON-KLIMA (heated-only) Vario F or F XXL seats in 2nd and 3rd generation Tacomas. This NON-KLIMA-specific design is intended for seats equipped with heating only and does not include under-seat storage.
This is a vehicle-specific, custom-fit mounting system and is not a universal or one-size-fits-all bracket.

Important Notes Before Purchasing
Accessory switches and OEM seat rails are not included.

Safety Systems & Airbag Integration
This system is designed to retain all factory Toyota safety systems when installed per the provided instructions.
Factory seat-belt mounting location is fully retained.
All original SRS airbag functions remain operational.
The in-seat airbag removed during any aftermarket seat installation is correctly compensated using a custom, vehicle-specific airbag proxy included with the kit.
No airbag warning lights when installed properly.
Seat Heating & Wiring Integration
scheel-mann NON-KLIMA seats include heating only and use aftermarket heater switches.
If your Tacoma did not come with factory seat heaters, a heater extension harness is included for use with the scheel-mann wiring.
If your 3rd Gen Tacoma did come with factory seat heaters, an OEM-retention heater harness and mounting bracket are available to retain your factory heater switches.
Important:
If your 3rd Gen Tacoma originally had factory seat heaters, your scheel-mann seat must be equipped with the Tolerance Stack thermistor. The stock thermistor supplied with the seat will not function correctly with the Toyota system.

- Custom thermister needs to be installed by scheel-mann (+$100)
- Additional heater harness and bracket needed (+$125)
