Dynamic Seats
Are all dynamic seats ventilated and heated? Or are the dynamic and the heating/cooling seperate?
Lastly, (sorry for noob questions) how do you operate the dynamic seats? When I test drove one that I thought had dynamic seats, it didn't grab me in the corners.
Since I don't own one yet, so no manual to read, how do I turn on the dynamic seats and test them out while on a test drive?
Thanks again... I am doing my final test drive of the car Saturday and likely buying right after!

If you look at the lower right hand corner of the driver seat, you should see a bunch of buttons and one of them should read dynamic. Press that and make sure the red LED is on and you're good to go.
Ventilated / Heated seats are separate

I think I remember plus and minus signs as well as 2 elongated (sp?) buttons one horizontal and one vertical.
I don't remember seeing the word "dynamic".
Do non-dynamic seats have this cluster I'm talking about?

Yes, that is the cluster. it will say dynamic. You can also go into the dash menu and control the extent of dynamic (aggressive vs mellow). NOT ALL active / ventilated are dynamic, but i thought all dynamic were ventilated? I have both and love both.

Ok. I didn't realize that.
Where exactly is the button that says "dynamic"? Is it on that cluster, or up on the dash by the heated seat button, or where?
I'm afraid this car that I drove and thought had dynamic seats b/c it had that cluster really only had that cluster of buttons. I'm guessing that cluster exists on all E55's?

Damn. Ok. 
Thanks for that info. This car I was about to buy doesn't have the dynamic. Ouch...
I am constantly finding cars with "almost" everything, and the cars that do have everything are way over priced out there right now.
Grrrr

Yes Dynamic is at top of same cluster of buttons under knee
I like the dynamic seats, my buddy turns his off. I think the ventilation is weak, but will have to wait until LA summer. I know I get in the car after the gym and imagine slight help, but not much. The massage is a little better (inflates/deflates same dynamic/lumbar bladders). Oh yeah and what I learned about mercedes ergonomics is that red means on(AC/dynamic seats/massage), unless its the headlight(06) indicator which is green, lol.

Thanks again guys. My M5 seats were like this. They didn't do much, but did a little and in Texas summers, anything we can get is important.
My wife's Infiniti M seats are awesome. They actually blow cold air out the seat. They're the best cooling seats I've ever felt.
I verbally agreed to a car and they're tinting the windows on it, etc. Now I'm going to have to say no to the car b/c I was told it had the Dynamic seats, but I don't think they knew what they were talking about, because it doesn't have them. (It's a non-MB dealer so they made the same mistake I did about the cluster)
They're going to hate me... And I'm going to have to fight to get all of my $500 deposit back I bet.

--I would have to buy new seats (probably expensive and what do I do with the old ones?)
--I would have to find a dealership that would do the install and program the seats while agreeing to keep everthing under warranty.
Sounds almost impossible but I am an optimist! Maybe if I ordered a new car I could have them do it at the factory?
Thanks for the information.
