If the connectors and wiring haven't changed, I'd love to attempt a retrofit/replacement of the earlier versions. I may have to look into doing this....all my other cars have the turn signal higher and even after a year with the MS, I still haven't gotten used to the placement.

I really don't follow why this is such an issue for some people. Unless things have changed most Japanese cars have the stalks reversed, do I'd think toggling between a Japanese car and then a US or German car would be more of a chore. Our other car is an Audi, and I have no issue moving between the two cars, at least from the stalks point of view. Remembering to turn off the engine and look the car is a whole different matter!
 
So next year when I replace my wife's Lexus LS460 with a 2015 Model S, we will have cars with different versions of controls on the left. Will be an issue with muscle memory. Will need to ask my service center/Jerome G. about a retrofit (hopefully just the switch cluster behind the steering wheel itself, and no change to the wiring harness).
 
I can't say I'm a fan of the new setup. MB is just changing things for the hell of it (eg, center window switches). Having to turn on cruise control is also unneeded. Drive an S Class from 1999 or earlier and there is no stalk confusion.
