Quick Seat Option Question...

Regarding the "Active Ventilated Seats"...I know they have little fans in them for cooling, but is the heat feature essentially the same as the heated seat option? Or do you have to order both options to have seats that both cool and heat? Thanks in advance.

When you order the active ventilated seat option, you get cooling fans as well as heat. You need not separately also order the heating option. Both functions are great. I highly encourage anyone ordering this option.

Thanks!

I appreciate the response. So you essentially pay another $500 or so for the cooling option --- a small price to pay for a car with a black interior in the Texas summer heat!
