When I was test driving the Cadillac STS I should have tried it. Has anyone tried it in a different brand of car?

 

I used the "air scarf" in my ex gf's SLK350, that thing was cool...I mean it kept me warm even though we had the top down driving down the freeway at about 60 degrees. Only cool factor though, the car was just waaay too small, I couldnt even lean back in it

 

At least put a shirt on. No one can tell you're not wearing pants. Common sense people!!!

 

I have to be honest, I never have the AC on in my car. I live in Canada and we only have good, warm weather for about 4 months of the year so i always drive with my windows down so i can atleast enjoy the rare experience of warm temperatures. Even with that though, there should be tons of cool air coming in from the open window and the sunroof should help with recirculating the air in the car. I took it to Lexus about 2 weeks ago and they tested my seats with other seats and said it was fine. Like I said before, they work great for about 10 minutes, maybe even less, but after that, they are completely useless. Just to clarify, I do not expect cool air to shoot up to my face or anything, i just expect a bit of air to blow on my butt. I checked today and my back coolers do not work at all. They die out within a minute or two. I am guessing that there has to be a recall of some sort on the motor for the cooled seats. I feel the motor working when I put my hand on the seat and I can hear it too if i really pay attention, but it just doesnt too anything. Kinda like an aquarium pump that is running without any water I guess

 

I've tried it on the 2006 7 series. In terms of strength it's pretty much the same, probably even a little bit weaker. However there are 13 fans in each seat as opposed to 2 so it covers a lot more of your body. It's more subtle than my IS though.

 

I have also tried it with the A/C (i drove with the A/C on for the first week of May since it was boiling hot and I had to park my car outside) and it made no difference.

 

Has anyone gone to Lexus Service about this problem?

 

I think one of the posters above said he took it in and they said it works like it is supposed to (what they meant was "don't expect too much").

 

It seems reaaaaally weak. I put it on 3 all the time and i cannot feel it at all really.
sometimes i forget to turn them off and i dont even know they are on.

 

I had both seats on 3 one day with the ac and radio off and those fans were relatively loud. It took me a couple of seconds to figure out where the noise was coming from. I wonder if it is so weak beacuse they are trying to push the air thru the foam padding as well as the leather. I wonder if you could remove the foam over the fans and replace it with the mesh like in the Aero chairs we have at work.

 

i dont know but this is messed up.. they need to fix this!
