Heated rear seats are not standard on the S550. They are part of the rear seat package (325) which includes heated and ventilated rear seats, 4 zone climate control and power rear seats. This is of course standard on the S600.
Also, it is correct that the suspension settings are now integrated into the C/S mode (C/S/M for AMG). However, you can start in 1st gear while in C mode. This requires pressing the accelerator hard enough to engage 1st gear from start.

Re: Heated Seats....
A shame Mercedes did not offer that as a sole option on its own. Sort of how they did "parktronic" as a sole or as part of a larger package, in case u dont want the rest of the stuff... or do not want to pay for stuff....

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

I have not done mine yet but will do a 1000 mile check up when I go to the dealer as I live in moorestown, south jersey and I bought it as Ray Catena in edison, NJ

My friend buys all his cars from Ray Catena.
Just got my Bluetooth Module - and it looks pretty cool. Seems easy to just snap into place...... will certainly try that out!
THANKS for your help!!!!

Beautiful car!!!!!! Congratulations!!! What kind of trade-in deal did they give you on the "old" car?
Are you old enough to have a driver's license?

Wow, the Panoramic roof looks great on that car. Are you going to do any tint? It must be raining all over the country...I just drove 5 hours from Detroit back home to Chicago today...and it rained until about Hammond Indiana. Didn't stop me or anybody else from going 75 the whole way.

Ya - will tint 35% I think. Will look nice with the car's black roof and silver paint....
It looks like it is not raining at the moment in nyc - but will rain later!
