On gmautobuilder.com and the GM Supplier Discount link into gmautobuilder.com,
perforated leather-appointed seat trim on first and second rows now has no extra cost. 
I'm sure perforated-appointed leather heated and cooled seats used to cost $650 MSRP.

I don't see any changes at http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com/NASApp/domestic/proddesc.jsp?year=2010&butID=1&regionID=1&divisionID=2&vehicleID=8679&type=0
(KB6) heated and cooled front seats is still listed as available on SLT-2.

Hmmm.

[Speleos]

I guess they figured it was ridiculous to charge $$ for making holes in leather.

[chrisg]

But what happened to the cooled seat option?

[BeckyD8164]

My 2010 just arrived and it has heated and cooled seats.  At least it better!  I pick it up tomorrow-   

[JJU]

It's a hot/cool option!

For someone who has never experienced it before...I died and gone to heaven.

[jrc50]

I am confused, with this option is it just the front seats that are heated and cooled and the second row is nothing? 

[Speleos]

Just the fronts!    Passengers in back got to warm them up themselves! 

[jrc50]

    Thanks, thought for $650 they would at least put the heat feature in the second row, thought I had read that someplace but guess they were wrong.  Did not have a lot of choice in the buyback swap 2010, it was either one totally loaded (with another sunroof I had no taste for with the leaks) or a stripper, or a maybe 8 weeks or so order period.  Getting tired of taking the shop vac out to dewater the floors on my 2007.  Was looking for a 2010 SLT2 repeating silver/silver with the DVD entertainmant in the back, any of those on the ground or nearly on the ground had the cooled seats.
     I have them in my Lincoln MKZ and love them in the Gulf Coast summers but my wife does not.  Oh well, close enough.  When I talked with my Service Manager he was doing the formal buyback paperwork on my 2007 Acadia up on the deal, he says they want to have it done by 12/31, hopefully all will continue proceeding and this will be concluded.

[Speleos]

jrc50, sorry you had so much trouble with your '07 - mine has been wonderful!  With regard to the second row seats, I couldn't see anyone designing something with electric or a/c hookups on an item that folks would remove, fold, bend, spindle and mutilate like some people are prone to do to the middle row.  I thought it was great enough that they put the captains chairs on sliding rails for passenger comfort.

Hope you get the deal done for the New Year.

[Silverado02]

My father-in-laws Yukon Denali has heated second row and they fold... I was kinds disappointed to find the Acadia did not have this on the SL2...

[MedicRxDoc]

Maybe they will be in the Acadia Denali.....

[jrc50]

MedicRxDoc
    The Denali description reads the same at the current 2010 Acadia description, heated and cooled driver and passenger seats, so probably not.

When you switch the cooled seats on you can hear a fan motor and hear air flow.  When you press the button again the fan changes speed. When it’s switched on it kind of feels like your pants are wet. You know like, swimsuit wet. When it summer and 110 degrees inside it will feel great.

I'm envious; cooled seats weren't an option in 07, but I did have the opportunity to drive a Lincoln MKX--very nice

Same for 08 and that's an option I would love to have.

I thought cooled seats were an option only on the SLT-2 package?

[sixathome]

I read somewhere on a forum (might have been the ENCLAVE) that the customer thought the seats were more uncomfortable because of the extra cooling stuff, did anyone else see that? Maybe I'm

If you order this you will get the cooled seats.

Right; I was asking about the 08; I think it was an option but only for SLT-2 trim levels and wasn't available for the SLT-1 trim level

Don't think it was but will now be mad if I missed out on that.

I could be wrong it doesn't happen that often; maybe I'm getting the rearview camera mixed in with the seat option

Depends, will keep that feeling to a minimum if you don't sweat to begin with!

Pretty sure I'm right and you're wrong

[AA/78U-Supreme Forum Moderator]

Pretty sure I'm right and you're wrong

You  may be right; can anyone here give a definitive answer to our dilemma?

Were cooled seats available as an option in model year 08?

I say it was an option (not standard) only available with the SLT-2 trim level.

Mikemu says no cooled seats were not available in any trim level for the 08 model year.

I think we are both in agreement that the rear view camera was an option for 08

Just another nail in AA's coffin.     Cooled seats were not available on any trim level for the 08 model year.  They first showed up on the 09s.

So if I read this correctly; you could only get a rearview camera on non NAV equipped models???

On NAV equipped vehicles, the camera display is on the NAV screen.  On non-NAV vehicles, the camera display was integrated into the rear view mirror.

On NAV equipped vehicles, the camera display is on the NAV screen.  On non-NAV vehicles, the camera display was integrated into the rear view mirror.

Right I get that, maybe it's just not explained well enough for me to understand    I highlighted some blue text in my previous post but it only talks about non NAV equiped vehicles having a backup camera offered......

Oh forget it; I need a  or 10 at this point
