Heated/cooled seats

I think they work pretty good (at least mine do ) They arent like sitting on a block of ice but you can definately feel the difference. One thing I noticed is they work alot better when the regular A/C is on. I believe they pick up the cool air under the seats and just blow it thru the perforations.
I recently took a family trip in my Expy and had the A/C cranked the whole time (100* + ) both my wife and I commented how the seats kept our butts and lower backs cool.

I've changed the filters - even tried running without them for a while - didn't help. Here's what I think is wrong with the design: The unit operates with a small fan blowing air across a chilled plate and through the small holes in the seat. Anytime you have some type of cooling unit, it generates heat that must be removed. This heat that is generated is not in any way exausted from the seat and begins to build and actually makes the seat warmer.

This feature on our Ford's are terrible.
The only way the seats will actually cool if there is direct cooling from the ac to the seat. For example on mercedes and I think bmw's, there is a direct pipe into the seats to provide cooling.
Don't suppose any of on board forum genius's have come up with an idea to do this?
