    How can I tell if it is dealer leather etc? I thought mine was original but now that I think about it...The console and arm rests are cloth (suede stuff) My seats are leather 2005. It has the homelink on the rearview (whatever that is). I don't have the owner's manual.

    It's not OEM leather.

    Leather wasn't offered until 2006 in the US.

    Toyota port distributors install their own dealer markup packages, that includes leather seat change overs, they take off the fabric seat covers and replace them with leather as a leather seat package. If you have fabric (suede) looking arm rests and console armrest, your car originally had fabric seat covers, but were changed by port or dealership. Factory leather, has leather wheel cover and leather look vinyl armrests and console armrest, and only came as a factory package.
