Default Alternative to heated/cooled seats?

I have an 06 IS 350 with no heated/cooled seats. Is it possible to buy a system that will allow for this in the car?

I did install aftermarket heated seat, it was very painful... but worth it.
It's kinda major DIY project....

You're missing out on some hot and cold action haha... Now a days you can do everything yourself and there's aftermarket everything now, so I'm pretty sure there's a way to add it...

If you are in Louisiana, I would think that the vented feature would be more of what you are interested in--trust me, that is NOT worth it. The seats aren't "cooled", they are "vented"--there's a fan underneath the seat blowing air through the seat perforations. It's barely noticeable.

http://www.techmall.com/12v-Cooling-...09-p/49544.htm I came across this..I cant believe no company has made something similar that both cools/heats. This is a lot easier than having to cut thru the seats ect...
Also is there a good aftermarket remote engine starter for our Lexus IS 350 06? I might just go for that instead since there seems to be no other way to get cooled/heated seats..

.
Reminds me of the plastic seat covers (precursor to those beaded covers taxi drivers use) my grandfather had in his '73 Cutlass over the vinyl seats...
