Default Cooled Seats

So the Escalade has the option for cooled seats......Is there anyway possible to add the cooled seats to our tahoes? I would love to have this option once the Texas heat comes back!

There are after market companies that sell Peltier cooling seat kits.

Do you know of any specific companies I should look at for these kits? Like which ones are better and so on....Also are these kits compatible with the stock leather seats?

There is a plethora of options found if you Google.
And just beware that GM doesn't recommend modifying the front passenger seat at all due to the Passenger Presence System (PPS) or Passenger Sensing System (PSS) weight sensor built into the bottom cushion.
Installing leather or heating/cooling elements in this seat may cause the front and side airbag(s) to malfunction on the passenger side.

Alright, what about installing the escalade seats? since its not recommended and doesnt sound to safe with the chance of messing up the airbags. I assume its all the same floor mounting and everything....its just probably not worth the hassle.

I'm sureyou could add the actual escalade seats but I would think they are almost the exact same seats as the chevy which would lead me to believe I could just buy the seat chilling module (or whatever)and just plug it into my seats. I'm sure its more complicated than that but I was hoping since most other parts are somewhat interchangable with with all other GM vehicles that you couldadd thecadillac seat chillers without any major problems.
