Is there a way to increase the output of the AC seats?

[EcstaSPT]

The only time I can feel the cool on my lower back is if I'm in a T-shirt, but with jeans / slacks with an undershirt, forget it. Is there a way to just make it blow a bit harder? The amount of air coming out seems really miniscule.The heater works ok but since I'm in texas that doesn't really matter too much. Thanks.

Actually, the air is pretty strong, consider it has to push through the seat cushion while your butt / back with wind proof clothes are blocking it. You can always try to sit with your lower back not contact the seat and turn the A/C colder, that will definitely help - keep in mind, the colder the A/C, the colder the seat. If the A/C is not on, the seat will just blow hot air, which will not help at all.

I think the major problem is the relative size of the Texican derrière vs the rest of us. The more surface area the less effective the seat coolers. I would suggest the M is not a good pick for the typical xxx-large assed Texican.

Well, that might be true in general. But, I am definitely the exception. As a runner, my wife constantly want me to put on more weight. So, as a 5'10" guy, I only weight about 138 lbs. But, I can't speak for OP though....

5'10" and only 138 lbs? Come on, you're really from Rhode Island...

These seats are equipped with a filter so its best to check that they arent clogged up or restricted.

I'm 5 10 and weight 142lbs by the way lol

Well, as I said, I am a decent runner. Run marathon (26.2 miles) in under 3 hour with good speed on short distance as well. It is hard to keep any weight when running an average of 8 miles a day.

I junked the filter months ago.

Maybe there's a way to open up the airflow holes in the cushion? I guess getting to it from the bottom would be the issue.

And I have a nice booty, not too big not too small. At least the wife approves

[maqueswell]

Oh here we go...how'd this go from air conditioning to booties? LOL. I'm 6'8" 291 and i live in San Antonio...the AC seats work very well for me, jeans and all!

I just got an 2009 M35x. The bottom seat a/c ventilation is fairly strong and I can feel it blowing, but the seat back I can not feel at all. I assumed that wherever the seat was perforated (seat bottom and lower back) would be cooled. Any one know for sure if this is true?

[digiboy]

pretty sure its just the bottom that gets ventilation.

Perforated leather doesn't necessarily mean ventilated.

Have you tried adjusting the rear ventilation? I would think that limiting the amount of air to the rear would increase the amount of flow into the seats. Being 5'5", its really easy to see the rear vent ducts under the seats

[EcstaSPT]

I took it to the dealer for a few other things and they cleaned out some debris from down there, but I still can hardly feel it. I haven't closed the rear vents though, I'll try that. Other than somehow upping the output of the blower down there, I may look at opening up the ventilation holes down there. It's getting damn hot here now and it's only going to get worse.

No kidding - the summer heat is one of the few things I do not like Texas. That's why I like the cooled seat and fortunately it is working for me - I guess it pays to be lean - 138" at 5'10" remember?

My seats blow cold air when the AC is not on.

Really? Is there a mini compressor under each seat? If not, it is just air from outside. It will feel cooler (than your butt), but it is not COLD air when compared with when A/C is on - try it in 95+ degrees and come back to tell us more.
