From what I hear the filters are expensive and a PIA to change.

Hope this helps....
I also thought that it was just circulating the ambient air. Not so. Another forum member said there was a high tech 'device' in the seat that actually cools the warm air. The 370Z service manual was his reference and he was correct.

Above 80*F with the top down I don't find it to be very effective.
