...easy...start with whatever makes the most sense and is most usefull...
- distronic
- combined with active bixenons (saves me some installation time)

- drive dynamic seats
- power rear sunshade
- TPMS

wait with the illuminated sills, heated rear seats, euro comand, UHI till everything else is done...those are just for fun rather then use

forget about the designo plus stuff

greetingz,
