Wiring, center console pieces for the switches, switches, and seats at the VERY least.....

It would cost much more than it is worth to retrofit the car with this. Their are fan motors in the seats that offer the cooling, the seat skins are perforated and costly, the center consol alone is like $500 let alone the switches. I would Fageddabout it!!!! Way too much cost involved.

Well--you'd probably need to get new seats--not just seat skins. And, you wouldn't want perf in front, but not in back, would you?

Cancel your order, if it's not too late!!

Very true, I forgot about the backseat not matching. Yet another reason of many to cancel the order is right. The OP should wait a month for what he wants, it will be worth it. I use the heated/vented seats all the time and love it. It is a must for this car.

Wait it out and get this feature with the car. It'll be worth the wait because if something goes wrong with the seats you can get it fixed under warranty. If you add this feature after car purchase, any problems probably won't be covered under warranty.
