Hey guys. I have been looking around and tracking through the forum but not a lot of information is given out about either doing a swap for Heated & Cooled Seating or just options in general to have availability of cooled seating. I was wondering if anybody has any information they would like to bring to the forum on this matter. Also i have had a chance to check around and found Viotek Tru-Comfort Heated and Cooled Auto Seat Cushions and was wondering if anybody has looked into them or experienced them first hand. Thanks.

 

I've never sat in a car with cooled seating. Is it that nice? I imagine it would require setting up something like a radiator inside the seat.

 

It's an option in bmws to have ventilated seats as well as heated seats but it's just a fan and does not have cooling ability. Not many cars have actual cooled seats. I'm sure Mercedes does tho. But at the end of the day, do u really need it? I just live with having a sweaty butt

 

I have cooled seats in my truck, it helps a bit but it's just blowing air, not refrigerated air.

 

Aw, that's gay. I was always under the impression that there was some sort of venting from the AC that actually cooled the seats

 

Sadly no. It came with the options package, I wouldn't go out of my way to specifically select the option....meh is my opinion of cooled seats.

 

On long car trips my back does get heated...!

 

I thought the newer infinitis have cooled seats?! It would be a nice feature for the summers to prevent swamp ***.

 

The only G37s I have noticed is the Convertibles do come with the option of Heated and Cooled seating.

 

My wife's Hyundai has heated and cooled seats... and they are amazing. If kinda feels like you are peeing your pants but in a good way. Cool and relaxing.

 

When the heating /cooling feature stops working or breaks, I'm sure it will be crazy expensive to fix.

 

^^ Not on a Hyundai.

An entire replacement seat with track, heated/cooled from Azera is $1437. Just the lower heated cushion assembly is $271. (according to hyundaiparts123.com)

On G37s the lower cushion assembly alone with heater, is $4,785. (according to infinitipartsusa.com) I actually had mine replaced under warranty on my G37 due to leather bubbling 6 months after I bought it (common issue). Just to replace the cushion (no heater, motor, track ect) was $2100.

 

true

 

Anybody have any thoughts about Viotek Tru-Comfort Heated and Cooled Auto Seat Cushions as a good option for our vehicles besides doing wiring and seat swap?

 

Just sit on an ice pack
