Active ventilation

07 E63 has the active ventilation - man is it working? I can barely feel anything on the highest level - I want a cool breeze on my back - it is very low - can the dealer increase the level?

mb's vetilation is not ac, it actually pulls air instead of pushing. so yes, it both literally as well as figuratively sucks!

E63
Single biggest disappointment in the E63 is the ventilated seats...worthless in every sense of the word. Very misleading if you expect it to do anything.

The heat side works great, lot of good that does for 2 days out of the year.

Yep, they don't really cool. They suck air, not blow. All they're good for is keeping your back dry. And if you're car has been sitting in the 102* sun (Like it has been in DC) it doesn't even do that.

Worthless.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
We need to figure out how to get in there and rewire the thing to spin the other way.

reverse the fan and plumb the a/c vent in the center console into the seat
