Both of these just let in outside air so maybe that's the difference. Could also be I'm in a dry climate. I imagine in the south with dew points over 70f it feels different than here with dew points below 0f.

Could be - I've never lived anywhere but humid.

What do you mean let in outside air? It’s the same air going out of your vents. If you put it on recirculate your seat AC will be recirculated air too. The outside air is passing over the AC evaporator coils before going out of vents/seats so it’s already dehumidified.

Not in my 2014 Corvette or my 2009 370Z. It just lets in outside air from another path as far as I know. Both communities agreed that's the path and in my own testing I found it to be true. That said I've never looked up a technical document on it.

So you don’t actually get heated or cooled seats, just outside air seats?

Oh, that’s a bummer. The cars I’ve been in with ventilated seats just have routing from the cars HVAC and 3 stage temp controls either direction. Cooled seats feel amazing, especially in dress clothes, it keeps you feeling fresh.

Yeah for sure, I was annoyed as well. But these aren't luxury cars.
