    I have been searching High and Low for a Toyota-style switch I can use with my after-market seat heaters. What I basically need is a Single-Pole/Double-Throw switch; an ON-OFF-ON type of arrangement because the heaters have a high and low setting.

    The heaters are currently controlled by switches like these:

    It needs to fit in a standard size Toyota opening like those on the left side of the steering wheel in a 2-gen.

    CH4X4 doesn't have one. Neither does Air On Board.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    My 2nd. gen has rectangle switches. If you have a late '15, look for maybe a 3rd. gen switch. When they changed, they may have changed some late '15 builds.
    Any spdt center off switch would work as long as the current rating is above the current draw of your heated mirrors. Or maybe the switch operates a relay, in which case any spdt center off switch will work.
