Default Ventilator seats

The ventilator seats don't seem to get cool when set does anyone else have that problem.

They never "really" cool, just kind of blows air, if you are running your ac they feel cooler, mine work the same in the vette and escalade, good for suit wearing hot weather

Maybe it’s different per vehicle, while not a vette, my Silverado makes me feel like I wet myself every time!

works fine for me, as they said, it is not cooled, it is just cabin air being circulated through the seat and into your A&^$%^s...………….

Set your A/C vents to floor and dash. The cool air on the floor gets blown through the seats.

Copy that. Both my Z06 & ZR1 do the same.

The C7 seats FOR SOME DUMB REASON do not "suck" the humidity from your body like just about every other Ventilated Seat setup on earth. ..they "blow" air at you. So dumb.

My jeep, Tahoe, Acadia, Yukon, Sierra, Etc. Etc. Cool you down so quick. The C7 works but barely and if the top is off or windows opened you're screwed.

So stupid. It irks me.

The C8 will definitely reverse that error by Lear.

Yep it's just fan only. I imagine it's far too complicated and problematic to duct them into the HVAC system.

Only if you want it to look stock.

The blades wouldn't be efficient. You could MAYBE spin them around but even them who knows if the system would work properly doing that...

Watch the C8 seats will have them the right way... so dumb..
