Massage seats auto shut-off VERY quickly.
Hey all. This is something that has bothered my since day one. The massage seats in my 2019 E63S shut off SUPER fast. My wife's GLS550 massage seats stay on easily three times longer. Mine stay on for less that five minutes and having to continuously turn them on is a hassle. I don't see any in-car setting/adjustment for duration. I haven't seen another post here complaining/addressing my issue. I just reached out to Vlad to see if he can code it but wanted to tap the MBWorld braintrust, too.

I agree, the length of massage is way too brief. I thought the favorites button (*) on the steering wheel could be programmed for seat massage, but apparently not. You can use voice command, but too slow IMO. Real PIA to have to menu through to massage every 5 minutes or so.

I emailed Vlad and he is unable to change the length of time. Given that, I feel like we may be stuck.

Thank you, yes, I was able to program massage as a favorite.
