Colder / Cooler Ventilated Seat Programing by Dealer?

dbs600 · 07-16-2013, 09:54 AM

I’ve read there’s a way to program our ventilated seats so they get colder / cooler, but is there anything in particular I can tell my dealer so they can perform same while the car is hooked up to their diagnostic equipment (specific location / name of the computer values that can be modified)? My car is at the dealer now and I’d like them to take care of this, if possible, as my ventilated seats are barely noticeable when on. I’m thinking something similar to how they can program auto start-stop to be set to off, as default. Thanks!

This would be great to know. I just bought my wife a pathfinder platinum with black leather ventilated seats. Basically after 10 minutes you feel like your butts on a refrigerator. Definitely a lot better cooling performance than my oyster f10.

I believe they are not cooled seats, just ventilated. So they just have fans the circulate the cabin air through the seats.

+1 - I don't think they're cooled independently. I think they just suck air from the vent beneath the seats.

I believe they're programmed to not make the seat any colder / cooler than what the HVAC temperature is set to...
