Hey Guys. I have an 07 Tahoe LTZ, purchased in Sept. 2006. Before I purchased the Tahoe I looked at the Escalade as well, but the pricing just wasnt acceptable, too much. I did noticed that you could get cooled seats for the Escalade though, would be nice in the summer. How exactly do these cooled seats work? Has anyone done this conversion install into the Tahoe models? Please advise.

wow that's trick. would be nice, especially with ebony interior.
my guess is some kind of liquid cooling system with a heatsink in seat and backrest. not sure how they can pull that off with adjustable seats.

Thermoelectric Peltier effect device manufactured for GM by Amerigon.
Simple technology that 12volt hot/cold coolers use.

Hi Dave. Well is there anyway to get the coolers from the Escalade into my Tahoe?

I'm with you there. I hate to wear shorts with the leather seats. I put a towel down under my legs. If I drive during the day. I was considering seat covers during the summer.

I would be surprised if the seat coolers were not available in the aftermarket, but to move the cooled seats to a Tahoe (along with the associated hardware) would be a difficult task.[/b]

Hi. I appreciate the information. Does anyone know of any aftermarket units then?

Agree with you all on this point -- Chev missed it by not offering heated AND cooled seats on the Tahoes. Other manufacturers offer heated and cooled leather seats on their cars that cost less than a Tahoe. Sure would be nice to have in mine.

There isn't an SUV on the market that is less expensive than a Tahoe that offers cooled seats.

Tahoe is marketed to everyday folk with the Cadillac being the upscale offering, if you want the extras then open up your wallet and get the Denali or Escalade.

Hi. So with that aftermarket kit there,it would have to replace the OEM heaters as well? Can it be used in any of the seats in the vehicle? I would like them in the first, second, and third row! :)

Just noticed that it says that this product is for perforated or cloth seats.
