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.

Russ

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.
