I have a 2008 GL550 with the heated multicontoured seats. I would like to add ventilated seats but would prefer that it be a "factory" installed. Is this possible? Does anyone know who can do this? Any idea how much it would cost? Any information would be appreciated.

the center trim and a/c unit will have to be replaced,along with two new leather seats.All I can say about the price is ouch!!!

Just curious. Why would the a/c need to be replaced? I thought it was just "ventilated" seats not "cooled" as well.

personally I wouldn't spend the money. I have the option on my '09 GL550 and although it's a nice to have, I really don't feel it that much unless I'm wearing shorts. I am in a hot climate (Arkansas) and thought they would be awesome to have, but they dont seem to make much of a difference.

Here's a recent thread that pretty much echoes my sentiments from other MB owners with this option:

Sorry I miss spoked,the unit under the a/c control will have to be replaced because that is where the controls for the heated/cooled seats will be located.
