2009 ML - Heated and Cooled seats

Hello everyone, I am looking around on the forums as I am thinking about a 2009 ML or X5. I really like the ML320CDI however, I am hearing that heated and cooled seats MAY be an option in 2009?

Anyone with any insight on this?

I can get them on the X5 and I live in FL - they are a must have option for me, sure hope I can get them in 2009.

Personally I do not think that the cooled seats will be available in 09, if ever, in the ML. They are options on some of the upscale models but I doubt if they will ever be seen in the ML. Heated, yes they have always been available.

Option 3?? Do you mean Premium 3?? These are not cooled seats but ventilated seats. I did not know they were available on the ML and were not available when I ordered/purchased my 06. All that is is a fan that blows air thru the perferations.

heated/cooled seats.

It must be a Canada/USA marketing thing, as, I have a 2008 ML550 which came ( as ordered ) with climate comfort (heated/cooled) seats.
Yet, Distronic, which I wanted, is not available on ML's going to Canada, but available on USA destined ML's. Who makes these decisions ??

Most likely some new just out of school MBA from the wonderful MB USA marketing dept who has absolutly no automotive experience in the real world and has no clue as to what purchasers want.

Yes in 08 and 09 the ML550 and ML63 both offer the climate comfort front seats, ( in Canada anyway ). Sorry I dont know about US models.

They are available in Europe (certainly in MY07, probably before) - so its just a MB USA "issue"
