Anyone install seat heater ***** on their '08 yet?

We all know the controls for the heated seats on the '09 >>> '08. I am absolutely clueless when it comes to electronics and wiring, so does anyone know if you can simply swap out the panel with the ***** for the old panel with the switches? Has anyone tried it yet?

Really?!? I haven't seen many pictures of the *****, but I just figured that they had to look classier than the switches. I feel like the '08 switches are the only things in the G that look like they would fit perfectly in a Chevy or a Honda. I just don't think they go well with the rest of the controls.

Why do people want 7 settings of heat? Who is like 6 is way too hot, im going to go with a 4 unless I get a chill up my back, then I'll need a 5 for sure... I like the high, low, off setting of the 08...anyone else with me on this?

High/Low is perfect. I definitely do not like the *****. They throw off the whole sleekness of the interior. If I had an 09 I would definitely be trying to find a way to replace the ***** to the 08 switches.
