What option includes those little pillows on the headrests? Not all of the seem to have them. They should if you ask me! I live in Finland so we don't have any sorts of packages here. You have to choose all of the features seperately.. Does anybody know anything about those headrests?

do those pillow head rest from comfort seat have different width of their two plugs to the seat? I mean I do not understand why they would not fit standart or sport seat???
Can you guys with comfort seats remove them out?
I guess they are electricaly operated on the comfort seat but I do not need that.

Are you talking about the two "flaps" or "bolsters" that pull out so one's head doesn't roll around when snoozing?
They are purely mechanical...no electronics to move 'em in and out. I like them...pretty cool. My wife LOVED them during our recent 4600 mile excursion through BC and Alberta (Canada). Should could snooze and it would keep her head from that sudden "I'm about to fall asleep head jolt".

no, they cannot be retrofitted to any other seat. The Poles are too large to fit the regular, sports or premium seats.
Its been debated over many times ... and 1 memeber if i remember correctly managed to make it happen with ALOT of custom work ... however the headrest is a vital safety part of your car, i would not go & mess with it. If it brakes during an accident, it may just cause you neck & back damage. my $0.02
