Nope, that is part of the Rear Seat Package, which includes:

325 Rear Seat Package details $2,900

· Power Rear Seats

Is everyone with me when I say, thats retarded? My S500 had STANDARD heated rear seats....... Now, the ONLY way to get heated rear seats is with a $2900 package......... ???

Case in point, there are two separate buttons: one on the dash for the ABC and the other on the shift console. Unless things have changed, there should be the same set-up on the W221, as it seems less than optimal to force the driver to start off in 2nd gear just to enjoy a softer ride.
I find that starting off in Comfort mode is not a problem with the 382HP engine. It is certainly not a slow car from the line in C mode.

Wuz up Jack how you been? I was actually in Vegas last weekend for the Mosely vs Vargas fight. I meant to hit you up before hand to see if we could hook up. Anyhow I started off driving the car in C mode but know I'm stricty S mode. I love blowing past cars on the highway. Unfortunately with all the gridlock around here I don't get much of a chance to let its legs stretch out for real.

Sorry we couldn't connect AK. I switch between the two depending on my mood for the day...:-) I find if I am in S mode I challenge everything and everybody...left a bicycle rider sitting in the bikelane in the dust a few days ago...:-)

Cheer up Chucky...once you sit in that S550 and drive it for a minute or so you will realize you made the right decision and the memories of your prior ride will fade quickly. There is a significant difference in all facets of the cars. Good luck and pictures when you can...:-)

Yep, how I felt when we got the ML too. I'm sure the S500 will go to a good home.

First of all, I am sorry I was not able to get back to you about the cingular/bluetooth aquestion.

2nd, No rear heated seats are not standard, but part of the rear package.

When I picked up the car , I had the dealer add the bluetooth module which they had in stock to the car. Then the delivery expert paired the razr with the car via the bluetooth and thats it. all my contacts were downloaded or accessed via the module. I live in NJ where there is no issue of losing signal so I have not had an issue with reception so far. When I get to the car and start it, the command says, activating telephone, so it re-connects with the car automatically and when I leave it disconnects. I don't do anything but drive and leave the phone in my pocket at all times.

Totally stupid about the rear Heated Seats. You have to order that expensive package - just to get heated seats....

Great! I have my bluetooth module arriving today at my house and ill just connect it to the car. Is it hard to actually connect the module to the car?

Good to leave my phone in my pocket at all times. You can use all the dialing options 2? The keypad, the voice activated, the command... etc
