i have yet to experience ventilated seats which work very well or as designed on anything but suit pants or my wife's dresses & skirts. if you wear denim or thick pants you just won't feel it on almost any vehicle. I had this on Q7, RR, X5 and X5M. None of them were strong enough to make a huge difference but they all worked in some fashion or another on very long drives.
 
Anyone else's blower seem to be the same on all settings? It sounded like a Hoover vacuum every time it was in auto climate
Auto climate doesn't affect the seat ventilation. And no, on mine the three levels are very distinct and it's only audible on the highest.

Not sure if I've weighed in on this but I'll agree that the ventilation is way more on the lower back than on the seat. I love the feature though and find it works very well, even if I'm wearing jeans. I feel it less of course but it does keep me from feeling swampy.

that is good to know. i hope this being a newer vehicle it has a better system than vehicles i mentioned above.
It's all about perception I guess. Nice collection of cars you've had by the way.

Coincidentally, most people agree that the sensation in the back is much stronger than that of the seat itself. I've used it with suit pants and barely felt anything from the seat.
