Empty heated seat button location mods? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Im sure I'm not the only one that gets into my premium model BRZ and hates looking at the weird empty spot where the heated seat buttons should be.. has anyone seen or has done something themselves to utilize this empty spot? Obviously other than swapping for heated seats.

Really? This is something that bothers you that much? You can order custom plates to go in there.
Just search 'BRZ center console plaque' on Ebay, Amazon or Google. There are thousands of choices.

There's a bunch of plaques available for that empty spot, such as this one. They just stick on with 3m adhesive.

Use it for a useful application!!

People with Airlift put the controller there, which looks awesome.

I myself installed a radar detector in there, which (not to brag) looks awesome too.

Basically any controls you need can be added to that empty space while keeping a clean look and not drilling into your dash!

Sorry sir, our empty plastic spaces are for tobacco use only. We're going to have to ask you to please leave or we'll be forced to correct your statement a second time....

Must be a bit awkward leaning over that far but I don't know what other joint it could be.

Yeah you can leave a cigarette or a joint there and it will withstand quite a bit of spirited driving (not drifting).

I do agree the blank rectangle looks stupid with nothing there.

And joint is today's letter of the day!

(Edit: not sure how to embed video instead of just posting short form link... probably from too many joints...)

I put my seat heater switches there. It seems to work out.
