Cooled Seats

Has anyone added the aftermarket cooled seats to their RDX? The leather is perforated so it should work. Any air circulation would be great.
I can't believe Acura sells a supposed luxury vehicle without them. I am sweating like crazy after 5 minutes on the leather. (:

One of my first cars had vinyl seats and no air conditioning. I can tell you, if you are in a warm climate, the best thing would be a set of sheepskin seat covers. Not hot at all in the summer, and no sweating in the seat.

How does this work? Does it duct the cool air from the car's A/C into the seats?

it comes as a kit but requires a custom shop to install it does NOT use the cars a/c system it has separate coolers that mount under the seat & has its own duct work that has to b cut & routed thru the foam seat then their is wireing the switches up it req. a 20 amp fuse & 10 ga. wire from the battery to the switches where ever you mount them. the cooling system & fan is about 6"x4" x1.5" all in 1 unit then it has flex duct work that hooks to that.sorry no pics as everything is inside the seat
