GLC 43 Coupe
Cooled seats??
Our new GLC 43 coupe has the heated seats but unfortunately not the cooled seat option. Can this option be added at the dealer?
Thank you

Not worth it. They aren't actually cooled, it's just ambient air blown through the seats, weakly. A Mazda at 1/3rd of the cost has better "cooled" seats.

I have the ventilated sweats and feel like the A/c is fed into them. I haven’t gone searching for the source but ambient... you sure? I find them a tad noisy but have really really appreciated them all summer. Will use them in winter from time to time t vent the warmer too.

I'm sure... I've owned 2 other non-MB cars with actual A/C seats and two MBs with ambient-air "cooled" seats and the difference is staggering.

No...and you aren't really missing anything, since they are NOT "cooled", just "ventilated". I have them on my 43 and they are just ok, IMO, nothing special. Now if they were "cooled", that would be a different story.

I had them in my GLE and then didn't have them in my BMW and now have them in my GLC. They make a big difference to me, living in Texas.

So a Texan and a Chicagoan saying they are good and two really emphatic complainers. For a few hundred bucks....you decide.

No "emphatic complainer" here, just think they could be better and CH already has the vehicle, so not much he can do.

That said, it's $450 for the Heated/Ventilated seat combo option...nothing for a vehicle in this price range. Just keep in mind, you can't get with MB Tex Interior, Performance Seat Interior, or with Cranberry/Black interior.
