Sunil - great to see you back into the mods. You and MBenzNL are trailblazers. The Distronic might be too much for me - but this one I might take on. Great thread.

kjb55, it's been almost a decade since i've been out of mods. Technology has surely changed with Mercedes and as always, they try to make it more difficult to retrofit mods. I'll update more pictures this weekend.
Replacement door controllers were required on my car since the pins were missing that connect to the small rear seat heat controller and switch. Replacements are easily found online. I should have the left door wrapped up this weekend. Unfortunately, i only ordered one switch and one door harness so I'll have to wait to do the passenger side rear.
The power distribution module (part I'm holding in above pic) requires a metal bracket in rear right of trunk space. If your car has the power inverter, you will already have the bracket in place. The power module gets power, ground, and two wires for internal CAN. It's got outputs for left and right rear seats.
