    I love my 2010 prius IV, not Four for 2910, but it only has power lumbar adjustment
    How hard would it be to bolt in and power the drivers seat from a 2012+ prius w full power
    this is relaly important to me

    probably not hard at all. i would measure the bolt locations and compare. you might have to fish a power wire.

    it may have, but would take awhile for someone who did it to see your thread, if ever.

    agreed. there are a lot of complaints, but few willing or capable to do anything about it until time for the next purchase. all the best.(y)
