Is there any way to make airscarf blow without heat?

Is there any way to make airscarf blow without heat for use in the summer? Maybe it can draw cooler air from the floor?

We have talked about this before, it already draws cold air from the floor and heats it as its drawn up the seat back.

What you need to do is remove the power from the heating elements but keep the resistance the same, easiest way is a 2 way switch with one pole going to a resistor then to ground.

What next... can we switch our seat warmers to seat coolers?

Can on the SL.

But you need the perforated leather and personally i think that looks a little bit tacky.
