    Love our Prius v, but hate that the factory seat heaters are either on or off and no in between. The switches are down low by the console, and is both seat switches combined in one dual switch. Been looking at all kinds of Lexus and other Toyota models to see if a factory adjustable switch from another model may work. Everything i've found are too big, and are individual switches for each seat.

    Anyone solve this problem?

    See? Just another thingy about the Prius where we were shortchanged by Toyota. My wife's2015 Hyundai Elantra has theater front AND rear seats, and, yes, they can be adjusted for temperature (2 settings). I mean, I paid $24,400. for my model Two v and she paid a bargain $18,800for her Elantra Limited. Really, Toyota did put a lot of tech in the hybrid system so I understand we can't have every do-dad.

    I bet the Hyundai dealer would make you an almost straight up trade for your v.
