anyone here have experience with Ventilated seat package??
 

if you order this package, you get the comfort seats, right? even if you order it in conjuction with sport package... you still get comfort seats, right?

more importantly: how are the ventilated seats? are they worth it??/ thoughts??

I believe they only come in comfort seats. I have them and they work fine. They can be a bit noisy you can hear the fans in the back of the seat when in use. However, definitely worth the trade off for comfort. It does not blow Aircon air just simply air into the back and seat.

can you really feel it through your clothes?

Yes I can feel it through clothing. You can turn the intensity up or down by pressing the ventilation button. There are three settings.

this might sound strange... but since the seats have little holes in them, what happens if you spill something? does the water get inside the seat... and can that ruin electronis or be difficult to manage or dry?

It's not strange, it's a good point. I only use a damp cloth on them. There is a underlayer of some type of webbing that helps keep out debris. Probably a little more care is to be taken not to spill anything substantial.

I have these on my 08, and they work great!

there is no electronics in the seat...its just an ac vent.

btw- my seats blow cold air, not just air.

I love the comfort seats, in the summer they are worth every cent!!

Perhaps a bit off-topic: My seats decide to lower the intensity of both the heat and cooling after a period of time. Is this normal? I didn't see anything in the manual about this, nor did I turn up anything in a search.

So, essentially, if I have it set for three bars (full), over time, it seems to lower itself to one. (Verified by looking at the settings, and by the lack of air.)
