Quote: I have not been able to find any further references to this, but if you were to swap IS-F seats into a 350 with the ventilation couldn't you simply swap or add the ventilation feature to the F seats? It has the leather perforations like the 350 vented seats, so I cannot imagine a quality shop couldn't do the job. Might even be a driveway weekend swap??

Thoughts??
Just get the F seats and do the vented seat mod, theres a thread about it. i forget what it was called though

Thanks for the information guys. fknISC808 I could not find any such mod. If you could please try to recall the title. I searched this forum, the is forums, and a full google search with no hint of anyone putting the cooling fan on the IS-F seat.

Like I said earlier I don't think it would be that difficult, but it is always better to see someone who has done it before I start hacking around down there....

I really need this seat swap. With me being 6'9 the standard seats are just too darn high for me to sit and see comfortably.

Thanks for your help guys.

Also I am sure you have seen these, but for the fronts and rears I think its a pretty good price and in talking to them they seem pretty willing to find any part of interest.

Look forward to seeing that seat mod

I'm not aware of such a mod. Some people have modded their stock ISx50 seats to increase the cooling, but there hasn't been anything on the forums to customize an ISF seat to the same effect.

Thanks Montgb. That is what I figured, but fknISC808 got my hopes up earlier making it sound like a common modification. With the perforations I don't know that it would be that difficult, but certainly nothing plug-and-play.

Thanks

I thought the whole problem (and reason the F seats don't have this to begin with) was that they were low to the point you can't physically fit the fans and such in the seats?

That was my understanding as well, but if they have the mountings, etc you can shave or even swap fans and at least have some result. With my physical height these IS-F seats are an absolute must. However, I cannot logically pull the trigger on a purchase if I know that no one has had success in hooking anything up.

I found this while searching for the other thread.

First one is for ISx50's to IMPROVE their cooling feature. Second one is how to add it to ISx50's LOL. IS-F seats, as stated before don't even come with a fan

On the ISx50 there's fans under the seats that suck the cold air passing under the seat up to blow up the seat... kinda like this:


__ your butt
xx fan blowing air up
----------> flow of cold air from floor vent to rear passengers

The mod suggested directs the vent air to go up into where the fan is located to greatly increase the amount of cold air the fan can blow onto your butt.

The F seats don't have a fan at all (nor room for one).


redirecting the air to the fanless seat bottom of the F seat isn't likely to do much for you.

Hope that clarifies a bit
