i have the factory 05 leather seats in my car and hate them. they do not breath well. i can have the ac on full blast, but still sweating from them not breathing well. is there any seats that can be swapped into these cars that have ac seats?

AC seats? As in ventilated? I am sure you can adapt something but then you have to worry about safety aspects in the event of a wreck.

I switched mine over to cloth seats and am happy with my choice

There are just too many to list....
Maybe your A/C is not working correctly.

While I have no love of leather interiors, my leather equipped B5 has no problem whatsoever keeping my fat ass cool in the summer.

I sometimes wonder if my heated leather seats are on when the switch says they aren't. Usually just my back though. I'm not sure what other wires go into the seats or how much amperage they can provide but it might be worth looking into.
