Question Adding power adjustable side bolsters & cooled seats?

I really loved the power adjustable side bolsters on the sport seats in my old 335. I have also always wanted cooled seats. I will be doing a custom 2 tone interior project on my Mazdaspeed6 and figured maybe I could have the shop also add these 2 features to the front seats if possible.

Has anyone here ever done something like this? Do I simply have a pipe dream here?

I want a cooling feature that actually works though plus I want to retain the heated option.

I'm going with pipe dream. Anything can be done for a price but my guess is that said price will not make sense.

Ventilated seats are not hard to do. But AC cooled seats + power bolsters will be nearly impossible with reasonable budget and difficulty.

Ventilated would be fine if it will be effective.

Well I have cooled seats in my 2014 range rover sport. I got the autobiography model that comes loaded up like that so could not delete them. They are very effective in the range rover, but I honestly don't care for them and would save the money on those. Also for side bolsters I have them on both 335 and the range rover. My expirience is if they are manual that's fine. You adjust them once to your liking, so electric is a waste. Save the money spend on other good to haves. Even if money is no object, still kind of pointless. Car has nice effective AC is all you need. Like I said I wouldn't have, but they make the options such that you must get it if you want sports seats for example.
