Default Air Cooled Seats

I did some searching and found nothing! Has anyone looked into trying to get seats with air conditioning in them like some of the newer cars? Its been in the 100's all week and I'm tired of sitting on molten lava! LOL

Default Recaro has this on their Topline versions of their seats:

"The RECARO Vent-System: We control the temperature
Sweating when driving and damp clothes - that's what leads to all kinds of respiratory and rheumatic problems. The unique ventilation system by RECARO in the seat's cushion and backrest creates a permanently healthy seat climate: the globally patented RECARO Vent-System - comfort Ã* la RECARO. Moisture can be discharged through breathable materials into the air ducts of the upholstery, from where fans installed inside the seat, i.e. the seat squab and the backrest, automatically emit it through the ventilation slits in the back - the driver doesn't feel a thing. Additional comfort is provided by the two-level seat heating installed in the backrest and seat cushion."

Default Re: Recaro has this on their Topline versions of their seats:

My LS430 has this feature. Its crazy feeling... The **** is the same **** you twist to get the seat hot or cold. If you turn it to all the way cold you start to feel a rush of coldness up your back and on your butt... its a wierd feeling. My friend and I really arent sure how it works but I'm guessing there is some kind of core or radiator in the seat that is presurized and gets cold. Air doesnt blow through it but you can feel the coldness coming through because the seats are perforated

Default I talked to Brian at Avalon about them and while they arent cheap, they arent insanely priced either

You should call him up and see what the current prices are.
