Which seat module controls bolsters/dynamic?

There seem to be at least 3 control modules on the front seat of my S600. Does anyone know which one controls the dynamic bolsters?

thanks in advance

Very helpful! Because I mistakenly thought that first pic meant I had to remove the entire seat! Do you know if this new module needs to be coded by the dealer?

Ok, so if that controls dynamic seat, what is this controlling? Same thing?

Sorry to be slow here, but I don't understand this response. The part I linked too looks very different than the part that resides in the back of the seat (air hoses and what not). my car is a 432 (S600 came with the fully loaded seats).

As best I can tell, that part A221 900 37 01 I posted from eBay is not for my car, but rather 2010+

thanks

Thought you were asking if same CU is used for multicontour & dynamic as it pertains to your vehicle. As it concerns 3701 = dynamic feature CU not applicable to your seat/vehicle.
