jamesmcga Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Anybody else notice the loud blower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi657 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Is it noisy even in the lowest setting? Can forgive noise when in med and high cooling setting, but not lowest setting. One of my biggest gripes about my 2015 Escalade is the noise and lack of cooling in ventilated seats; far worse than my 2008 Escalade.

jamesmcga Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 On the lowest setting can still hear a faint noise like the rear air is blowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi657 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Has to be an "American car thing?" My Mercedes is completely quiet on lowest setting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredinbirmingham Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Yes, its annoying but not as bad as the hot Georgia swamp ass it alleviates. Seriously though, I do wish it was quieter... I enjoy the quiet the vehicle provides when youre not using it. When using the remote start with the vent seat on high, if I let it run a minute or so before I get in the seat is sufficiently cooled and I dont have to runs the seat vent nearly as long.

LHB Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 As I understand it there are 4 fans individually controlled. Front, rear and each front seat. I have not noticed much ‘noise’ from the seat ventilators. The front and rear fans can sound like a hurricane on MAX but quite tame on normal speeds to maintain temps once they reach settings.

HofstraJet Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Unacceptably loud and not very cool, especially considering the noise. One of my first gripes as living in S Florida I hoped to use them often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_SF Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Yes, they are unusually noticeable. I'm pretty happy with the performance, though the temps don't get that extreme in Northern California.

One of my first gripes as living in S Florida I hoped to use them often.This particular technology has definitely gone backwards in the last few years, at least with US brands. My previous gen Escalade had great cooled seats. Now, both Lincoln and Cadillac have noisy seats that are "ventilated," not cooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Our 2003 Aviator would freeze you out. I don’t know what changed but something did and it’s not for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozymandias Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 They're noisy, and I can tell precious little difference between how I feel when they are full-on vs. off. On the other hand, the seats are ridiculously comfortable even if they don't cool very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18ReserveLNavigator Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't call the cooled seats noisy but the sound is noticeable. Anyone know how to prevent cooled seats from turning themselves on? Edited September 21, 2018 by 18ReserveLNavigator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozymandias Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I wouldn't call the cooled seats noisy but it can the sound is noticeable. Anyone know how to prevent cooled seats from turning themselves on I have this same question. The driver's seat always comes on with 3 full cooling bars by default. I'd love it if it only came on if I turned it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 When does it come on by itself - after remote start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozymandias Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 When does it come on by itself - after remote start? Any time and every time -- doesn't matter whether remote start with key, remote start with app, or just climbing into the car and starting it up by hand.

akirby Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If they are not on when you shut off the vehicle and you get back in the vehicle without using remote start they should not come back on according to the owner's manual.

ozymandias Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'll check it, but it doesn't seem to be working that way. FYI, I do have a profile for myself associated with my key. I wonder if I somehow need to re-save the profile? I am thinking it thinks my profile always wants cooled seats on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18ReserveLNavigator Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Good question! It doesnt seem to coincide with remote start but I'l check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HofstraJet Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Mine always come on whenever I remote start (app or remote). If I leave them on when I shut down, they will come on when I start the car again regardless of how I start the car. Same for heated seats. The car remembers last setting, which is great. I always hated in my Expys that I had to turn them on each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredinbirmingham Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Mine only come on when I remote start but thats a setting you can change, you can have it remote start with last settings or a default setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boredinbirmingham Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Is this setting located in Sync 3?You go through the settings button on the steering wheel: advanced settings->vehicle->remote start and there are the remote start settings there.
