Yes, however the real issues is it worth 2500USD? That is more than double what it costs on the 7-series, at MB, or at Audi.

Talk about an expensive blow job !!!

I would only consider it if it did not add much additional weight to the vehicle.

If you can budget it, go for it (but dont foresake sports pkg, logic 7 etc for this).

Again it appears to be an issue of personal preference, how much cash you have to burn and how much of a gadget freak you are. Who really NEEDS PDC or ACC?
I chose to get NAV and HUD and tried to get the ventilated seats but because of the inabilty to order for MY2004 I never got the price. $2500 may be worth it for those of us in FL or NV, AZ ( or Saudi)but in NJ it may not be worth it. My .02

I agree.
It is in fact a personal preference.
Speaking of that, I would even take the ventilated seats of I would live in Alaska.
And YES, gmartin you got me there, I AM a gadget freak.

The Nasca leather is only available with the comfort seats.
But I can only speak for Germany...

Only on confort seats.

What really burns me is the full charge for Nasca when you have already paid for Dakota. When offered in the same market they are the same price or with in a few hundred dollars US. Nasca accounts for $1800 of the $2500.

So are you saying that if I oeder the sports pkg, I have to order Dakota lEather then, if I choose ventilated seats I have to pay and additional $1800 for the Nasca leather, so I would be paying for both Dakota and Nasca leather totaling $3200 of leather?

I know comfort seats can be added to the sports pkg, but can they put in the ventilated seats rather then the comfort ones?

Thanks

If you want ventilated seats you have to order comfort seats because the Nasca leather is required and it's only available with comfort seats...

I got it and i'm happy with it.
Tip for use: run the ventilation for a few minutes before seating.
