WOW, I did not know that. I better check that and see myself. I remember sending it a long time ago. As many people have told me, there are a few C classes with DTR but no rear heated seats. I did further research and found DTR was added to some C classes to "show off" that option when it came out. It's more cost effective for mercedes dealers to use a c class with dtr than an S class. I am the only one that I know of who has RETROFITTED it though!

Distronic does exist but I think that powered trunk closer is far more exotic. Heated rear seats are a MBenzNL signature mod.
