Possible ventilatied seat fix?

X5'ers, I checked the web for a solution and found a great little trick on the Lexus site. They simply redirected cooling air from a vent under the front seat towards the intake of the fan for the ventilated seat. This vent normally directs air to the rear seat passenger's feet. Has anyone tried something like this on their X5?

Have a look at the pics at the site below.

I have been in the market for a used X5. I tried the excellent cooled seats in the Infiniti so when I tested an X5 I was very disappointed with the performance of the ventilated seats. The vehicle had been in the sun all day and just blew hot air through the seat for the entire test drive.
I understand what the problem is regarding the ambient air temp and the heat of the seat itself after the car has been in the sun a while.
