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

... When it’s switched on it kind of feels like your pants are wet. You know like, swimsuit wet. ...

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

Pretty sure I'm right and you're wrong :thumb:

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

And rear view camera not until 2009 as well:

New for 2009 GMC AcadiaThe 2009 GMC Acadia is powered by a new direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 engine with VVT that produces 288 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission. OnStar 8.0 is available with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and Destination Download that automatically downloads requested directions to the Acadia’s navigation system. Heated/cooled front seats with perforated leather are available on SLT-2. When not equipped with the optional navigation system a rear backup camera is offered [/color] with a display integrated into the inside rearview mirror. Two new exterior colors are added, Quicksilver Metallic and Silver Green Metallic.

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.

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

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