First-patent it, we like to think car companies would play nice..not the case. Second- design at MB (at most, if not all auto makers), have nothing to do with the 'features' on the car- that comes from engineering- design says the car will look like this, and will be able to do this...your turn, engineering. Engineering goes back and says , ok, we can do this, you have to change this.. sales says you have to keep the price at ####, design says we can't change that, make it work, etc. etc.
Third- learn German- it will make it easier-even better, learn to 'think German' , what most of us in USA don't get is that the cars are designed for THEM, not us, and what makes sense to us, doesn't sometimes over there (ie: years without cup-holders- they didn't get why you needed them)
Fourth- don't be disappointed if A- they already have it or B- they don't want it due to the above design/engineering/sales process...
