couple of S55k questions

1. Do they come with linguatronic or whatever the voice control mantra for Mercedes-Benz?
2. How well do the Ventilated seats actually work? my S430 didn't have them so I'm not quite familiar with them
3. Where do the dynamic massage seats work? just on your buttocks?

1.) Yes (Not quite sure exactly what you're talking about but I'm guessing you mean Voice Controls that's it)

2.) They Work (Not the strongest thing ever.... BUT they do work)

3.) Side Bolsters and Back

heh I'm more than a few years out from marriage

wanted to get some answers even though I'm not planning an actual purchase until maybe a year later, but being proactive doesn't hurt!

thanks ShangoAshe

I'd call it more af an alternating push than a massage..ther is no vibration in there, but it works great for long drives...correct on the side bolsters, back and lower cushion.

The seat fans are bareley perceptable in mine...heat or cool.

I can't really feel anything coming from my seats, I had them in my 02 S430 but i don't remember how they felt as it was along time ago. Now my dad just bought an 10' Dodge truck fully loaded with the heated and cooled seats and those you can feel...

I tried the heat this morning and I felt it within one minute...starting at the lumbar and then on the lower seat...I haven't tried the fans since a few times once I got the car...more of a novelty to me, I guess. I don't drive it in the bitter cold or blistering hot.
