Trunk / Rear Seat Pass Thru

Just bought my first MB three weeks ago. It is an '11 C-300 and was a dealer program car. As it turned out the limited options really limited me.
The A-20 without Sat radio is a real pain. Other than buying a $900 adapter, there appears to be no other way.

Also, I thought all C sedans came with the rear seat pass thru to the trunk. I went over the manual and cannot find any releases in the car. Was that an option?

I need to run some wiring from the trunk to the stereo and thought the pass thru was the way to go. Stumped again.

Folding rear seat back belongs to package P1 (I think).

In my 2008 it's P2. Which most were too cheap to buy.

I think the rear pass through started for 2011 only.

As I posted yesterday, folding seats in 2008 models (available right from the start in 2007) were part of the P2 package. Without them, carrying something bulky (like four wheels with tires) is impossible. There never was a pass-through which other cars have called ski sacks.
