The Audi ventilated seats suck rather than blow. It's not cooled air, but the movement of air acts to draw warmth away from your body and that's responsible for the cooling effect.

It's subtle, but it works.

Only thing is that I find the Level 3 fan noise to be a bit distracting. I usually keep it on 2.

Jaguar uses this also and it's very effective. I had a couple of XJR's with this.
