HVAC_SEAT_VENTILATION

What it is

Seat ventilation

The maxInt32Value and minInt32Value in VehicleAreaConfig must be defined. All integers between minInt32Value and maxInt32Value must be supported.

The minInt32Value must be 0. The maxInt32Value indicates the maximum ventilation setting available for the seat.

This property is not in any particular unit but in the specified range of ventilation settings.

Used by HVAC apps and Assistant to enable, change, or read state of seat ventilation. This is different than seating cooling. It can be on at the same time as cooling, or not.

This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs have the option to implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x15400513 apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x05000000SEAT
Type0x00ff00000x00400000INT32
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x000005130x513

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

int value =
        mgr.getIntProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.HVAC_SEAT_VENTILATION, areaId);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
