What's the dash switch blank size in mm?
Thank you.

The front part of the blank that you see is a larger than the actual hole behind it....and even then the holes kind of vary with different keyed shapes for certain switches.

What are you trying to accomplish with the info? They sell both blanks and switches that fit the holes, though most aftermarket switches will require some trimming of those specially shaped switch holes behind the blanks.

The standard switch mounting hole size is 17.5 x 35.5 (the larger, outer recessed face shape is 23 x 41 with big radiuses at each corner).

As noted by Iwashmycar, there will be little shapes around the perimeter designed to prevent mis-assembly by the assembly line workers, which you may have to shave off of your actual switch, to get it to fit into a hole, if you are not using the original switch in its original location.

I know all this because I tried to fit a "Party Mode" switch from a 4-Runner onto my dash somewhere, but it is a totally unique shape which matches nothing (18.5 x 27.5). If anyone wants a "party mode" switch, its part number is 86171-35020. Neat conversation piece, but sadly not compatible with any other Toyota dash holes I've been able to find.

No, those switches are the newer ones and not the same as the FJ ones. You are correct.

Edit, per the post above mine!:
It is possible it will fit, because there are so many places on a switch one could measure.
Or, it could be
t
he factory Toyota heated seat switch size/shape is different from the size used for the FJ switches. In that case, he could be right but it still might not fit into your vehicle.

By the way, others who have fitted seat heaters have cut out holes for their switches in the center console. In that case you can make anything fit!

They should fit the main switch opening just fine, but youll likely have to clearance or shave the rectangular hole for the body of the switch or some of the little protrusions on the switches to get them to fit well. Then youll have to figure out the pins of the switches to get them to work properly.
