Default Air conditioned seats????

I would LOVE to have air conditioned seats. I think this would be the single best mod for my vette as the seats are SO hot here in Tampa.
I have black sport seats and they are hot as hell.

Anyone know if this is possible? I know they do it on some new cars.

Find out which cars have this and start investigating. That is what I would do. Good Luck !

Most of the newer, high-end luxury cars have them, Lexus, Infinity...I think Caddy has them too.

Check with your local sharper image they have a similar item which is a pad that has gel in it that stays cool. One of the other forum members in palm springs bought one and it worked . May not look real nice but it will cool that part of the anatomy.

I bought my seat heaters from these guys. They have another kit that does both heating and cooling.
Click the Seat Ventilation and Seat Heating Kit:

I fitted my heaters myself and it was reasonably straight forward. The seats need to come out but VE have great instructions for that.

My new Infiniti G35 has heated seats....
Whoop de doo. I wish the A/C seat was an option.

Check out the Navigator, it has an option for heated/cooled seats. I test drove one a while back. The heat option works very well but I was not impressed by the cooling, it did not work as well as I expected.
