cooled seats

Does anyody know if there is a way I can somehow cool/ventilate my seats? I love the heat feature, but need a cool down for that "surface of the sun" black leather. Anything. Even if it is a pad that you put on the top of the seat. As longas it cools my ass, Im happy.

The rear cooling/heating vents run under the front seats. Maybe there's a way to cut into them and direct some of the air flow upwards into the seat.

Buy Mercedes S600, it has option of built in A/C air supply with small fans in driver seat. Air goes through small holes in the leather seat and cools your ass. I am not joking....

They also have options like autometic blow-jobs, but they cost extra

The RL has cooled/heated seats too.

My recommendation:

Tint and a windshield sunscreen.

It's better for your leather all around, too.

I saw a commercial for the new Escalade. It had seats that are heated and cooled.

Read this:

"...it allows the introduction of seats that not only are heated, but cooled by small fans in the seatback and cushion."

Ive always liked Saabs, but they can be a little too strange sometimes. Like the console mounted ignition and stuff like that. But they always have really cool features. The slade on the other hand, I hate, with a passion.
