2019 G63 North America vs UK build options (Question)
Question on G63 builds for the newest model (2019+).

The UK site offers a Winter Pack with a remote control for auxiliary heater, heated windscreen and auxiliary heater. They also have rear side air bags for $400 which I am pretty sure are standard in the US. Do these come standard in the USA? Can not seem to find them conveniently - the offering appears to provide a button on the Fob that turns the heat on remotely. I'd love that for when I am skiing and want to get into a warm car.

Curious for anyone who has their G - Does the remote start option via mobile phone have this feature?

Yes. The remote start is available for 3 years free with the Mercedes Me Connect app.

I know the app does it, but does the Key Fob start the truck? Or the heat? The app MercedesME is terrible - just awful.

The remote start key is separate from the normal car key. With some research it may be possible to buy the parts and install it in US.
