airscarf?

looking into purchasing an SL55 or 600 some time in the upcoming months and just thinking about what I plan to do to make it more me, and I know the newer model has the airscarf system, does anybody know if the heater and fan mechanism is all self contained in the headrest? i was also curious if there is a way to rig up a simple switch for them (possibly in the console) or if it requires all kinds of heavy knowledge of bus systems resistors, etc.

SL5 is out of production. Airscarf is on 2009+ models. It has a switch.

From the looks of the headrest it is self contained. The switch is on the door near the seat switches. I had it on just today. Works great.

I know the 55 isn't being produced, I guess I should have specified that I'm looking into a used vehicle. I was curious if this would be a direct fit replacement to the older headrests and I would just need to add some form of switch into the door panel. any installation thought would be good, I wonder what my dealer price is for the airscarf headrest.....
