to further the discussion on iPhone box mod, for better efficiency, couldn't you use some kind of tube piping to connect it directly? because the iphone box is a bit bigger and doesn't have a seal so cool air is still escaping

if you sit with your seat all the way lowered, there’s no room to fit piping. I thought about using some flexible plastic to create a seal around the vents and the intake vent from the seat but like I said it’s so tight under the seat the iPhone box does the job fine. Also if you used a flexible piece to attach them it would move or break every time u move ur seat position...the iPhone box stays super snug.

when ur seat is lowered, ur talking about a few inches from the floor vents under the seat to the bottom of the seat. It’s so friggin tight, I thought about doing exactly what u posted but there is simply not enough room. Go in the backseats and look how tight it is under there. Also if u drop anything under seats and have to move the seats to get them that pipe would come off. I tried this exact thing.

i'm with you...i dropped my chapstick and i got fairly decent sized hands and it took me a while to get it back...the thick carpet is nice but doesn't help for this particular Mod


my thinking is hopefully a fellow CL Member will see this...and it gets someones creative juices flowing

Honestly the iPhone box mod sounds/looks kinda stupid but it works, it’s simple, and it doesn’t move when you move ur seat. My recommendation is raise driver seat height all the way up, go in the backseat and look under so u can see where the vents/fan for seat is. You’ll be able to come up with a solution once u actually see what’s under there.
