I know these questions might be repeated, but I need to know what options I can add to my W221 S300 2008, e.g can I add the below options as a retrofit:

1- Seat Memory
2- Key-less Entree With Engine Start/Stop
3- Blind Spots Assist
4- Soft Close Doors
5- Auto Trunk Lid Close

Yes, it sounds crazy, but I love my vehicle & I don't want to change it.

Appreciate your support

You'd likely spend more to retrofit those items than your car is worth. You'd be better served buying another car that already has those options.

Wow, different markets I guess. All of those but keyless go were standard on US models. You'd literally have to tear the car apart to install all that stuff. Dave's right. Buy a 2010+.

The only thing I'd like to add is blind spot assist. Once you have it, or has a loaner like I did for a long trip, it's hard to go back,. But I'll will put it into distant memory as I now have a GL with it built in for long trips. BUT, it would still be cool if there was an easy way to add it.

All of that is possible if you have the $$

Good luck.

Tarek,
I believe that the MB WIS service manual has a list of commonly retrofitted
items which are relatively do-able at the dealer. If you don't have access to
this, PM me your VIN and I'll see if I can pull anything up for your model. r-

Retrofitting of Major options like Factory NAV, Blindspot assist, lane keeping assists are kinda tough to get a US dealership to do. Most probably won't, especially with the safety options as they can get into a huge amount of trouble (liability), if something goes wrong with the enabling a non-factory orginated option on a car, and that is identified as helping cause an accident.

US Dealers will not even install Distronic. Too much litigation in the US, hence disabling "tunnel mode" on HVAC and rain-close on sunroof.
