    SL (R230) phone module

    Does anyone know where the phone module would be located in a 2004 SL350. I didn't opt for a phone prewire but am fitting an aftermarket bluetooth and been informed the car probably has a phone module installed somewhere!

    W129 Sl500 Backrest

    The backrest release handle on my SL500 has stopped functioning. I am guessing that it is cable operated. How do I get into it to see what has broken? Do I have to remove the seat from the car? there is no obvious way to get at the seat internals:confused:
