C55 lumbar support

Newbie question - my manual talks about a lumbar support adjustment for 06 C55. I can't find anything that looks remotely like it. Is there one?

it's an option. Not standard feature. If you have it the controls will be next to the buckle.

I believe it was offered during one of the c55 years. It can always be retrofitted.

How much for retrofit and are they worth the cash?

depends on how badly you want lumbar support. I usually change the leather back rest cover since cars with lumbar have elastic on the sides which will expand when the lumbar is used. However, on recent retrofit documents from MB, leather cover replacement is not required. To do a complete lumbar retrofit, you will need:

1. Pump
2. Airlines
3. valve assy next to buckle
4. Rear Air chamber
5. Side Bolster Air chambers x 2
6. Seat Bottom air chamber.
7. small harness for pump
8. Foam capsule for pump

Remember, this is for one seat only.

If you want to do both seats, you will need to add another valve block and chambers. A single pump will work for both seats.

Sunil, can you retrofit this into a C32 seat?
