I have searched all over the internet and the forums to identify the controls on my Recaro air seat. The symbols may be apparent to someone, but not me.

Thats a funny one. The controls are upside down. Cra-Cra germans probably think they are right side up if you look down at them from a seated position. The middle ones look like they control lower and middle lumbar support. (notice the little bar in the icon) The left ones look like they are for the seat up and down and backrest front and back. The W and w are a complete mystery.
see:https://www.recaro-automotive.com/fileadmin/CONTENT_NEW_WEBSITE/pdf/nfz/rau_symbols_en.pdf
for some hints.

Bill, a good observation. They sure are upside down and I guess one has to view from the seat looking down. Also, mine has a female electrical fitting protruding from the back.

Does anyone use the seat massager? If so what is connected to the female plug. Perhaps a 12v male with an on/off switch????

Attached is what I have determined what the Recaro switches are for. The unknown one may need power to find out if it is for heating the seat or massage. Heating I do not need, but I would like vibration massage. Later
