Venilated Seats

As I read the option descriptions it appears that you don't need to order heated seats when you get ventilated seats. Does anyone have ventilated seats? Do they heat?

Ventilated seats are ONLY available with seat heating but seat heating is available without the ventilated option.

AV seats

they are both heated and cooled. Controlled from buttons on the dash below the radio. They use small quiet fans and heating or cooling coils to blow air through the perfs in the seats.

Ventilated seats are terrific, both heating and cooling are effective. The heating is quite pronounced on the high setting and gentle on the low setting. The cooling is very effective at keeping you from sweating. Jeff
