Oh how I can relate. Texas here. Back in the day, my cars never even had AC (couldn't afford a car with working AC). Now I can't imagine driving without it. I recently had to rent a 2019 F150 Platinum while my daily driver gets repaired after a fender bender and it has all the bells and whistles. It was only recently that I realized I needed not only the heated and cooled seats (and don't get me started on the heated steering wheel LOL) to truly feel as though I was living in modern times, but that I need an F150! I currently drive a '17 Mazda CX5, and it's great, but man, being that I'm 6'4 and ~220 lbs, that extra space in the F150 is a game changer!

I only installed the kit in my driver's seat and I could not be happier. I live in south Florida and drive a convertible and I have found the cooling to be very effective and noticable even when the rest of my body might be getting too hot from having the top down. It also starts working very quickly. I have had a couple of other TED coolers that used water as the cooling medium and this works better and faster. I have not had a chance to test out the heating function yet, but I have every reason to believe it will work as well. Keep in mind that Gentherm is an OEM supplier and they use these components in many production vehicles, so this is the real deal.

I have been installing road wire, and katzkin kits for 13yrs now I will let everyone know this is not something you should tackle unless you have good knowledge of how electronics in your vehicle work. I have seen people tap into wires they should not and burning out the bcm (body control module) if you do that your vehicle is not going any where and a new bcm is not cheap! I am the only one in my company who installs these and you did a great job. I often add the switches on the dash where the factory heaters go but have to add them at an angle to fit right. I do like the spot inside the console but I am unsure of customers would like that spot. Also on the side of the seat is a typical spot people place them. I tend to always add them on the center console if it is possible. Either way awesome work an I enjoyed the video.

So true! I bought a '99 2 door Tahoe last year. Battery was dying every couple of days. There was an aftermarket Alpine HU installed, so I decided to check over the installation. Previous owner skipped spending a few bucks on a plug and play harness and butchered the whole thing together with twisted wires and electrical tape. Had the radio wired to constant power. The truck was rough with other questionable wiring I just sold it.

When putting the silicone on.. be careful not to overdue it. If you do to much, you will clog the pad vents, potentially leaving dead spots. If you want a Seal.. make the hole slightly smaller ( 1/8-1/4 lip). With the tube being longer (proud of the cushion) it will always be pushed against the pad, so lots of silicone (or none) is necessary.

Interesting to see the aftermarket application of this type of system using thermopeltic devices, as I sit here in my office and disassemble/reverse engineer the OEM system on a Sierra Denali. Usually thermopeltic devices pale in comparison to actual compressor/freon based cooling, but the application and change in temp is sufficient for seating. Certainly much easier then ducting the HVAC system to the seats through additional blowers (though this is something I will still play around with). Quite good video work, capturing the essentials, great presentation and minimal blaugh. I must also say, I do believe this is the first time I ever heard a self tapping screw called a stinger screw. Great work mate!

This install does not make much sense for total cabin climate control. If you turn on seat coolers, you also turn on rear passenger foot heat, with the placement of the exhaust port on the seat. Without looking into it, I bet there is a way to vent the A/C to the seats. Or port the heat exhaust outside...

My VW has nice perforated leather upholstery already. Would this integrate with your HVAC system? Are the factory front seat heat pads typically part of the upholstery or simply pad fitted between the upholstery and the foam?
@LeatherSeats
@LeatherSeats 4 жыл бұрын
chris kelvin Our heating/cooling system requires air flow in order to work properly. The perforation on your seats is a great start and may be enough to work with our system. However, depending on what kind of scrim foam/backing material your upholstery has, you may need to have an upholstery shop modify it to use a reticulated/high-flow foam to allow proper airflow which we do offer as well. If you have any questions about this material or the process please email sales@leatherseats.com and we can help out further. As for the heating pads, a lot of the time the pads are attached to the seat foam in between the upholstery but sometimes they are sewn to the back of the upholstery itself. You would need to pull up the upholstery on your seats to tell which way yours are mounted.

Well if you don't care about it that's one thing, but to get this feature it's usually only available in higher trim levels which costs thousands of dollars.

+Vasiliy Nechepurenko Once the seat upholstery is installed, the pads that you are sitting on completely blend into the seat foam. That is why we cut out part of the seat foam, so the pads would mount flush.

Gunslinger 1 This system replaces existing seat heaters because it functions via heated and cooled airflow through the upholstery. Most factory seat heaters are solid pads in between the seat foam and upholstery that would block the airflow. For more information, please email sales#@leatherseats.com or call us at 1-866-639-7328.

The burn marks followed the outline of the heat pads. Was not noticeable on the outer cover. Just ordered the new pads. Thanks for the video :-).

My only concern with this is where can I find someone that can compitently install this? I'm sure I can find a company willing to do it but the fact of the matter is probably no one has ever installed this prior to me and it would be an experiment for them that could possibly come out f'd up. Especially the cutting the holes for the switches in the center console or wherever...

Is it possible to add ventilated seats to a car that already has factory heated seats
@LeatherSeats
@LeatherSeats 6 жыл бұрын
Zack Salvatore No, the heater/cooler units that we offer have distribution pads that embed into the surface of the seat foam. Air flows through those pads and then up through the upholstery. Your factory seat heaters are most likely surface mounted pads on top of the seat foam directly where the distribution pads need to be placed. Even if you could use these units together with the factory heaters it would be redundant because our units are designed to be seat heaters as well as coolers.
