Exclamation Becker Automotive in CA True Cooled Seats Kit...Voluteer Needed

Becker Automotive in Oxnard needs to take a close look at the ventilated MB seat as they are working on a true cooled seat the using thermoelectric cooling unit Jaguar and some others brands use. If anyone in CA is interested please reply or PM me. For your time and assistance I will offer to pay for the cost of the cooling units themselves for one of you if you deceided to have them installed. True cooled seats are an amazing option that MB should be using rather than the plain venting fans.

Here's a link to Becker http://beckerautodesign.com/index.htm as you will see the level of their work and client list is increadible ie Tiger Woods, The Royal Family, Mark Walhberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Jennifer Lopez, and countless others http://beckerautodesign.com/clients.html

I have no interest in Becker at all; I'm in FL I can't bring my car there and would like them to create a kit for all of us. Becker is interested per my suggestion of these devices and will use them for their hot climate customers or those who like the idea of having a true cooled seat. Here's a link to the company that makes them for OEM ie Jaguar, Infiniti, Lincoln, Lexus LS460 etc http://amerigon.com/ which Becker will use.

Thanks

Sounds great. PM me your contact # and I'll call the owner of Becker with it. Your SL seats are just vented and once you try real cooled seats you'll never go back; had them in my 12 XKR and Becker will use the same components. What year is your 600?
