I've read that the ventilated seats in the past don't throw enough cool air to merit the expense. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the option is the 2017 A4 yet and has an opinion.

You can feel it but it doesn't blow cool air from the seat to your body, it sucks warm air from your body through the seat. As such it will take a while to cool a hot seat down but on longer rides it creates a comfortable climate.

I learn something new everyday. Never would I have guessed the seat would vacuum warmth from ones body. Appreciate the insight.....I can scratch that option off my list of must-haves.
Thanks!

The A6 blows cabin air through the ventilated seats, right? They change the air flow direction for the seats on the A4? I assumed they'd be the same.

I'm pretty certain that the A6 C7 was the same as the new A4 B9.

Then it does blow (not suck) air in A4? I guess it's this thread, which you also commented in, that has me confused: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-.../#post24711109

Me too, that's why I went outside before I posted my reply and did the test



With the fan on the tissue sticks to the seat back, fan off and it slides down. I guess when I posted that, I still had my A6 and that one did indeed blow, to late to confirm now...

Heh, thanks for checking it out, I appreciate it!

Yes, all the Audi ventilated seats are essentially a vacuum and do not blow cold air.

I hope I didn't waste $1500. I guess the perforated leather looks nice.
