So my wife and I left dinner last night and for the first time since I have had the S580, it was cold. So we used the heated seats and got to experience the heated armrests for the first time. Oh my glory lol. That’s something I never thought I needed that I actually do.

​​​​​​Nice @SW17LS !

Now they need a foot warmer for the ladies. Haha
Wife likes heat at floor and makes my feet sweat.

I make her wear socks when we travel north for holiday now. 😂

My W222 didn’t have the warmth and comfort package, so it didn’t actually. Heated seats and wheel but not the armrests.

My 222 was a pretty low optioned car, my 223 is much better equipped. It didn’t have the power rear seats, warmth and comfort or the exclusive Napa interior the 223 has all of those.

It actually can do that. You can set each footwell to a higher temp than the rest of the heat in the car.

My X7 had that, what a great feature. So nice on long trips in the cold. It’s a little thing in terms of features but so nice to have. I’m going to miss those and the massaging seats. So bummed the seats I picked doesn’t have massaging seats as an option.

I just have the heated and cooled seats, no wheel or armrests.

Right now we're in perfect weather for driving with the windows down and heated seats on.
