I wonder if it's possible to have some form of seat ventilation for the J11 (Tekna+).
This is my first car with leather seats but I found out I am getting really sweaty after a while of driving.
When I holiday in France it was really hot and my but get really sweaty.
I probably need some aftermarket ventilation but I wonder if someone maybe have the same and found some hack.
I thought I saw somewhere that is an ventilation connection in the middle of the front seats.
Maybe there is something to fix there?
Seat ventilation?

You probably want one of those beaded seat covers beloved of southern European taxi drivers as the low budget option.
I might be wrong but I think ventilated seats were / are an option in Spain and/or Italy (just as we have heated seats). The chances of getting one and the wiring being there to power it are pretty minimal.
In ye olden days (well it was the 70βs but it was a cheap old 60βs car) when most seats were vinyl, I used to drive round sitting on a beach towel. I still sweated but it never became uncomfortable.

Just a word of caution, though if you're thinking about DIY hacks or alterations, it's essential to be careful as it might affect the car's warranty and safety features. I'd recommend consulting a professional mechanic who knows your car's make and model well before attempting any modifications.
