Surprise delivery + questions

So, the current mercedes logistics system definitely has issues. On Monday my dealer told me that he talked to the VPC, and they said they car was still there and they didn't have a release date. Then this morning a truck pulls into the dealership with my car! So I went and picked it up today, and it's *amazing*!! Still getting used to everything. I upgraded from a Tesla Model S, and so far absolutely no regrets.

I have the winter package, and executive rear seat package, and I've got a few questions I couldn't find in the manual:

1) How do I turn on the rear seat massage programs? MBUX only shows me the front seats.
2) How do I turn on the heated steering wheel?
3) My rear tablet isn't connecting. It shows the EQ splash screen, boots, then shows a warning message and then just a spinning circle and nothing. Have tried rebooting with no luck.

Thanks much for any help!

1) I don’t think there’s an option for rear seat massage. I could be wrong on this.
2) The heated steering wheel automatically turns on when you turn on the heated seats.
3)??

Appreciate the reply. Turns out the rear tablet needed a software update - once I applied that, MBUX app connected to the car. And yep, the executive rear seat package does include massagers, which apparently can only be controlled via the tablet, which is kind of surprising. So that all works now. Thanks for the info on the heated steering wheel!

Executive rear seats

Is it true you can only seat 2 with the executive seats? The rear center console doesn't fold up? Do the rest seats fold forward flat to fit longer stuff in the trunk?

Thanks

You can fold up the center arm rest that holds the tablet to allow 3 people to sit in the back. Also, the rear seats fold down.
