Active Ventilated Seats

I ordered a 2006 CDI about 3 weeks ago (scheduled to be made in mid June)... and today i was told they are no longer offering Active Ventilated Seats. Anyone else hear of this?

Thanks in advanced.

easy, hoss..

they are usefull, but you just dont feel them. Unlike a ford where it feels like you are laying on a air hockey table, it does not blow, it sucks (pardon the pun). It does make a difference. I thought the same thing at first, but on very hot days, I feel no sweat. It would be nice to feel it working however.

Agreed. When I first started using them I was concerned as I couldn't "feel it working" but using this feature especially when it gets into the 100's here in Dallas has been very helpful. You're right, no sweaty backs! I guess MBUSA didn't think it was important enough. Glad I have it.

I think they you have some incorrect information. I will ask my sales rep to look into this information a bit more.
