No, we do not use any extra interfaces to enable those features. It is all done via OEM coding.

The facelift grille is required to retrofit the facelift front bumper but not required to fit the facelift headlamps.

I know that..Not actually what I asked. I asked about the Distronic functioning with the new grill. Heard it could be problems since the plate is smaller.

It works fine, we have retrofitted the facelift grilles and it does not have any issues with Distronic.

Chris the carlsson brand and parts accessories are not original equipment, they are after market options, that goes for brabus as well, the only one that has an official tie up with MB is AMG. I hope i am still right hahahahha

Question. Did you have to change the latch to fit the grill?

You have to change out the plastic pull handle since the new grill has a different shape. I had to do it on mine so I can confirm for you.
