Where to get ventilated seats

[NickVuleta]

I bought the GT1 for the ext. color but I would like to get ventilated seats. South Florida stays hot. Anyone have suggestions?

Yeah, there's so much integration with the system (ductwork from the AC unit, new switches on the center panel and then most of all new seats) that you are going to have one hell of a time trying to retro-fit that into a car without it. I'd estimate easily $3k (Kia shows the ventilated power seats costing $700 each and the control module is $600 sans labor). You'd likely get a better deal just trading in the car and taking a hit on the depreciation.

There's no AC ducting. The seats are ventilated, not cooled. They simply push a little air from the floor of the cabin thru channels molded in to the seat base padding. Don't expect much, but it is a feature I like to have.

I am tempted to fashion a redirect and cut a slit in the bottom of the seat... Couldn't hurt right?
