The MB dealer probably says it's no longer stocked because it was NEVER stocked!
AFAIK, the seat heater element is part of the upholstery - when the element goes, you have to replace it all together.
There are several threads on this issue - it's somewhere in the region of $750 to change an entire seat.

You might want to consider this instead:

At least you would have a complete set for when you need to replace the other seat.

How tough is it to replace a seat? DIY job if you have the time to commit, or do you need any special tools?

Jake and I had a run around about this same topic the other day. The seat heater element is part of the seat cover. The seat cover runs about 530-650 (depending on color). In the case of Jake's car, EPC said he didnt have seat covers lol.
