I can't determine which country/marketing area you're in, but in Canada, the "Trunk Hands-free access" is available as a standalone option - scroll about 2/3 down the web page to the "Safety" section: http://www.mercedes-benz.ca/content/...53.html#/p3505 I've ordered it on my 2017 GLC.
As an aside, I have no idea what the current conversion to US dollars is, but some of those options seem really high comparatively.

EDIT: I posted before I saw additional responses. I will call my dealer today.

so other than being active and have LED high beam, the P3 LED and the stand alone LED are similar in everything else? also on a straight line they both have the same illumination strength?
the issue is I really don't care for all the other features on the P3 package, so not sure if the active LED worth 7K upgrade when I can get something "similar to a point" for $800.
thank you

Indeed, and it doesn't keep it at full strength with oncoming traffic whilst drawing a box to avoid blinding them.

Likely more to do with the colour temperature. Don't forget that warmer temperatures (i.e. more yellow less bright looking light) actually help you see much much much better at night especially when wet.

As far as I'm aware the same DRL's are in use yes. Then again, I don't know anyone who went with the standard LED opposed to the ILS system. And also here in Europe we don't have those Amber bits in the headlights so it may all be different.
