The car will likely need be programmed/coded for this after the install, so you'd need the advise of some (very) experienced people about what can be done.

I was thinking about just buying the HVAC piping that goes from the rear of the center console out to the B pillars. It goes under the carpet so it won't be an easy job.

I would assume the ducting is there already, considering most cars (and I assume the G30) have ducts in the rear, they just don't have controls and relays/fans/etc to enable/disable air flow to the rear.

I really doubt they put the plastic ducts going under the seat to the B pillars...you can see it in the bottom left of the picture

I'm not sure what you're saying here. There are clearly ducts in the image and the part description from the web page.

The point I was making was that most (all?) cars have ducts for the back seat and I can't see them omitting them just because you don't have 4 zone climate control, you still need heat and cooling to the backseat, even if you can't control it.
