I was just thinking this year, I see the seats in the CLS have the dots, could they also be modified to have A/C? Like the Navigators and some of the new Lexus, MB and so on. Has anyone ever seen or know of this being possible!!??

You could. Anything can happen with enough money.
I'd think it would be too much trouble & too expensive.

its like a $1700 option on the 7 seriese

VIPCLS

Yea I was just thinking about that possible option. That is the only thing that the CLS is lacking in the newer cars really. That would top it off perfectly if possible, just a thought out there to see others responses.

Yeah that would be a nice luxery on the CL. My mom's lexus es 350 has the cooling seats and DAMN that breeze on my ass feels goood.

remember the CL's last year was in 03, so you really can't compare them with newer vehicles...Lexus didnt start making A/C'd seats an option until 05 I believe...

VIPCLS

Ohh I know I was just sayin for the technology put into the car until 03, the CL really ins't lacking anything, and was just sayin if you could AC the seats it would be a nice commodity.

VIPCLS

Ohh yea I know how your feelin, I detail cars at a car wash, and I just recently put the AC on the seat for the first time and that nice cool breeze hits the spot when it's 90+ degrees outside!!

yep, my buddies escalade does that. its awesome when you wear jeans for a long trip somewhere. you dont get there with SBS(sweaty ball syndrome).

VIPCLS

Ha Ha funny, yea I know what ur sayin bro!!!

nothing Gold Bond cant handle. Then you'll need to upgrade to the medicated green bottle after a few months. ac seats would be nice

The $50k RL offers this option...but NOT in the US version. Major oversight by Acura. You can get it in Canada and Japan. Much needed here in TX.

Another example of acura not doing their homework.

it might be cheaper to do than you think. there is an a/c duct that runs under the front seats so the passengers can receive it from under. maybe you can put that to good use?

andre

REALLY??? i never noticed!

i could def use this feature in the MIAMI HEAT

VIPCLS

Really, what does the wires look like, and is it just under the passanger seat?? Great info!!

Excellent that about covered it all, couldn't have asked for more info!!

rp_guy

oh, looks like lexus doesn't have 'a/c' seats per say, it's a vented system, kinda like this.

andre

is this true? i couldnt find it...

rp_guy

turn on your a/c and switch it to feet only, and the fan to high speed.. it's there

jacked18

If your looking for a thrill that bad....buy a hooker, it would be cheaper then going thru the hassle of putting ac in the seats lol!! But honestly, it would be a nice feature but ill tell you what, my ac gets damn cold so me personally, wouldnt need it.

The '07 Toyota Avalon offers heated and cooled seats. My CL has an arctic A/C so I don't see it being needed that much but I have to admit it's nice to drive the Avalon and get out without a sweaty back after a long trip.

andre

it does cool the feet from the center console, but not under the front seats. do you actually have a duct under your front seats???

and no, it's not for a "thrill"...it happens to be VERY hot in miami, and i have black interior. my back is always sweaty after driving during the day...

TheWeez

I'm almost positive that my CL has vents under the seat. Seem to remember them while vacuuming (could have been my previous car though).

rp_guy

yes, i've seen the vents myself

maybe they're blocked by something ?

also, my front carpet was blocking my front feet vents from blowing. maybe your rear carpet is ?

VIPCLS

I see the vents that you guys are stating. They really are used for heat in the winter for the passangers in the rear, sice warm air rises,and most people put the vents for under their feet. Correct me if I am wrong. But they also can be used for the rear AC convience option also,or is there a actual outlet to hook up AC seats?

andre

i found the vents, but now i'm wondering why they didnt use them for the seat ventilation. most other cars put the vents at the rear of the center console for rear passengers.

i'd love to do this mod...

TheWeez

Tons of cars have the rear vents under the front seats. And it's no wonder they didn't use them for seat ventelation, even in 2003 when the last of the CLs were made it wasn't an option on much other then very high end cars (still isn't an option on all that many cars).
