Question on sport/ventilated seats

[rainman50]

I have comfort seats in my 2000 540iA sport. One thing that I like about them is that you can adjust the middle of the back part of the seat. So instead of having a straight back seat the upper part of the seat can be adjusted fore and aft of center. I have not seen this on any other car (maybe I have not looked too close to notice)

Does the X6M (X6) seats have this feature?

On another note is the ventilated seats worth getting. (I think you have to take the perforated seat in order to get it)

Thanks.

I have the comfort seat and the back part (top half) can be adjusted so its not just a straight back. I also have the ventilated seats and i think it was worth it.

X6 has it. I have the active ventilated perforated leather seats.

Thanks. I was hoping that they had the same adjustment.

I have ventilated comfort seats, you can adjust them to fit you. Something the drivers seat has that passenger doesn't is "butt paddles" , alternate wihile your driving to reduce fatigue (good on long trips) . I go to Arizona all the time and love the ventilated seats.

I asume the butt paddles can be turned off and on. Can you vary how much movement they have when being used?

yes you can turn them off/on but you can't adjust the speed or movement. They just go up and down alternately (left side ,right side).

What are we talking about gentlemen? Am I missing something else? Like how my sales agent didn't properly tell me how to use the sport drive? He said just push the BUTTON. lol. I found out on here after two months of ownership.

On the ventilated comfort seats I have, the drivers seat ( only drivers seat for some reason) has a feature which you can turn off/on via switch which is left of the parking sensor switch. The button looks like a seat with a flap on,
when you push it the bottom of the drivers seat gently raises and lowers (alternating between left half and right half) it's called active seat in the owners manual. I call it butt paddles.

Awhhh hell. I never even noticed that button. I have the active ventilated seats too. Dam it. Two months to figure out how to drive on sport mode. 6 months to realize where the active seat button is. The dam sales associate is not worth a dam. He should be selling toyotas. Now I'm wondering what else I have been doing wrong or he didn't tell me about. His delivery was a failure. Thanks DM.
