johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 I know you can get heated seats but do cooled seats exist? nothing worse than getting a sweaty back on a long journey, is there any cars that come with this kind of thing that could be snagged and put in a 205?

Tom Fenton 1,536 Posted October 26, 2011 Some Mondeo ST's have air con seats. However they are huge and I doubt they would fit in a 205. But they are out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marksorrento205 80 Posted October 26, 2011 I had a Lexus IS220d as a hire car for three months and that had them. I still bang on about the air con seats in that car today Bloody great in the middle of summer when your power slideing around roundabouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 I was thinking more about fitting the system into standard 205 seats, or failing that, stick a little rad fan inside the seat, I'm sure that'll be sufficient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marksorrento205 80 Posted October 26, 2011 You now have two examples you can research and find out the way they do it I know the 220d had perforated leather seats. The ducting was piped to the seat and blew through the tiny holes when you selected it on. Not sure how you could get the same results with the std fabric 205 seats? Unless you had them retrimmed in full leather maybe? I will watch this with interest to see what you come up with. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liquid_106 97 1 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 Clicky Sure you could retro fit the important parts under the standard seat cover, tuck the fan underneath & hardwire a constant supply, rather than the ciggie lighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted October 26, 2011 Just rip the back of the seat out and have some netting in it's place instead If it helps at all, I think it's optional on some Saab 9-5s. There's probably quite a few high end cars in recent years with this function. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Maybe they come with some sort of motor box or similar which is why the seats are so big. If you try the dealerships of these cars, see if you can buy the full kit without the seats inc, then maybe, just maybe you can get one fitted to a 205 seat, without any nitrogen leaking out Or try your local scrap yard, but it may get damaged trying to get the inners out of the seat.

Daviewonder 533 3 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 Just cut a round hole in the bottom of the seat and the car floor. It can double up as a commode then too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feb 47 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Recaro does them in the topline at least: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3214587.htm AFAIK some Mondeos come with Recaro seats so it could very well be these model that others were referring to.

tartanbloke 35 1 Cars Posted October 27, 2011 Or alternatively, buy some from a Ranger Rover Vogue SE/Autobiography as these are heated/cooled. When I used it on cool function with shorts on, air con was getting into places that is was not supposed to be.........weirdest feeling ever..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2-Pugs 57 Posted November 6, 2011 It was an option on the E60 M5. AFAIK the seats are made from perforated leather and blows air from the air con system up through the seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacey205 2 Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Mondeos have this option. My dads 54 plate TDCi has heated and cooled seats (perforated leather which the aircon blows through I assume). I think they are standard on the Ghia X spec. Edited November 6, 2011 by pacey205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lan 24 1 Cars Posted November 13, 2011 you're driving the wrong car if you want cooled seats 205's aren't nor will ever be a comfortable cruiser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
