Seats cooler

So I hate my leather seats in summer time. Burning myself each time I sit on.
I just see pimp my ride on TV and mad mike install cooling fan in leather seat, so
I just thought it might be interresting to tried it.

Did somebody ever try this here?

See it at 3:00 YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

run ducts under your seat , take out the foam in the middle of the seat and back rest, put muffin fans to circulate the cold air.

lol just take the foam out? that would be a shitty seat to sit in

easiest most cost effective thing to do is buy lnf seats. still sorta leather but not where you sit so no heat issue. ive also herd of special foam that allows airflow to "air condition" the seats but idk what is involved in doing that

After more search I found that, gm use thermoelectric peltier by amerigon for cooling and heating seats in there fullsize suv like suburban, denali and escalde. Looks like small soft pad
Thermoelectric Modules
Vs acura and lincon use kind of air duct and fan to circulate air from the conditioning system
