Is two position "memory" driver's seat available?

RtStuf · 05-25-2008, 10:46 AM

My wife feels it very important our car have automatic adjustable drivers seat as we had on our '91 Chrysler and '06 Acura. We have ordered an '09 Prius.

Does anyone know if this is available as an aftermarket add on?

Thanks,
Glenn

Since the '09 is really going to be almost an exact copy of an '08, and that no power seat option exists, not likely that automatic driver's seat is possible or expected. Only possibility that might happen, also not likely, but possible, would be the pump up seat height.

Only way to do what your are asking, is to find another Toyota with that option, and try to make the seat work in a Prius, again costly and tedious in trying to make work, so I believe not practical.

You'll have to read all of the comments for "height adjustable" seats in the forums....

There are currently no plans to offer the seats in North America, but in Europe/Asia, the seats are standard (though not in the electric memory type)
