Rear Headrests Won't Drop

Out of warr. '07 Designo Launch w/ P III Pkg, which includes Dynamic Front Seats etc. I have a leaking bladder (the car seat. Sheesh...). Clear the faults and Dynamic works like a charm for ten minutes and shuts down. I understand the save the pump default etc. and am getting the feature repaired.

But, does anyone know if there's a tie-in between the remote head rest release not working and the Dynamic Seats option? Logic says there should not be one. But, clear Dynamic faults and head rest release works. Dynamic ceases working due to leak and remote head rest doesn't work. I'd like to have the head rests workable. Dealer is lost. Fuses etc. okay.

Advice? Anyone experience this?

Thanks.
