Cooled seats performance?

Altitude · Oct 24, 2024

Across cars I’ve found a little goes a long way on cooled seats. You think you want a more noticeable effect but past a certain point it makes me feel like I’ve peed my pants.

I hear you.. they make me feel like that now on 'regular', on high it will just happen sooner!

Now if I could bump up the heated seats? It would seem they heat up quickly, then hit a limit and seem to not be very warm? I played around in Carista and could not find a setting selection for the heated seats.

OK, got the Carista hooked up and working. Just got the one month at $14. Oddly, trying to select our J250 out of the menu at initial setup was not listed, but after the app 'talked' to car, it did indeed find it and allowed settings change.

Turned off front seat, seatbelt warnings

Turned ventilated seats (A/C) to 'High'

Turned of engine enhancement sound, but left the ANC on

Curious to drive it now and see if I can still hear the turbo, or if that was the stereo pumping it through?

It is significantly better? I'm thinking of getting Carista just for that...

It's noticeable.. both in temp and you can actually 'hear' the air coming out of the seats. Just do a month (not a full year on Carista) and try it out. It was worth it for me for a bunch of other settings (i.e. seatbelt warnings, etc.). I doubt I'll renew it unless I need to change something.

I tried mine on a warm day last week. It was noticeable. It felt like when you're in winter and you sit on a cold cold leather with a thin shirt on. I was very impressed and I'm really looking forward to using them in the summer. Honestly, I almost felt like someone with back issues would love these seats. Significant heating or cooling as needed for therapy.
