Ah, mine never did anything but right below the butt, so perhaps that's why I feel differently. The main car in question was also a 2014, so perhaps the technology hadn't been fully developed by then. It was also "air conditioned" rather than "ventilated," but I'm not sure if there's a difference other than the name.

Though I'm sorry I can't share the joy, it's great that you benefitted!

    Both of these just let in outside air so maybe that's the difference. Could also be I'm in a dry climate. I imagine in the south with dew points over 70f it feels different than here with dew points below 0f.

    What do you mean let in outside air? It’s the same air going out of your vents. If you put it on recirculate your seat AC will be recirculated air too. The outside air is passing over the AC evaporator coils before going out of vents/seats so it’s already dehumidified.

    Not in my 2014 Corvette or my 2009 370Z. It just lets in outside air from another path as far as I know. Both communities agreed that's the path and in my own testing I found it to be true. That said I've never looked up a technical document on it.

    So you don’t actually get heated or cooled seats, just outside air seats?

    It does heated or ambient.

    Oh, that’s a bummer. The cars I’ve been in with ventilated seats just have routing from the cars HVAC and 3 stage temp controls either direction. Cooled seats feel amazing, especially in dress clothes, it keeps you feeling fresh.

    I mean I'm just hazarding a guess here but... Might it be possible that you seat coolers for some reason are actually outputting humid air?

    I just say because I've been in a few cars with this and I've never felt "wet"

    Moisture never really contributed. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I've never peed myself as an adult. However, I've primarily traveled in jeans and the feeling granted by the air conditioning seat feels exactly how I think it would feel if I wet myself, then let it dry in my jeans. I haven't tested that though.
