Rear climate controls for wagon?
Odd question. Do the wagons, with Pinnacle trim, get rear AC controls? Specifically I am asking for an E53 Wagon. The build sheet for the one I ordered reads
X2 Pinnacle Trim
PDD Premium Plus Package with Digital Extras
316 DIGITAL LIGHT
444 Head-up display
77B Interior Assistant
PAX Digital Extra: DIGITAL LIGHT with projection function
581 Dual Zone Climate Control
Does this really mean only dual (driver and passenger)? Or does dual mean controllers for front and rear? Thanks!

It would say either tri-zone or quad-zone if it had rear climate control. Yours says dual so only front left and right controls. Same as all the other E-Classes in the US so far. Its my biggest complaint about this car for as expensive it is. It would be one thing if nobody got it because they didn't make the parts yet, but other markets get quad zone for the W214 and the variants. That means they made the conscious choice to not give it to the US market. Can't understand why myself.

Fyi....i have the e53 with pinnacle. Even though it said 2-zone on the build sheet, the code is correct for 4-zone. In my car....it is 4-zone climate with full rear controls. I'm in the US

E 53 Wagon
The E53 Wagon I have on order with the "Premium Plus" package (which is essentially US "Pinnacle" trim) has option code 581 for the 4-zone THERMOTRONIC climate control. I think it's just a mistake in the order guide, which happens on both sides of the pond. My previous 2 S213 E63S wagons also had 581, and both had the rear controls. (My 212 was 3-zoe, but also code 581.)
