This might help..it's BS's TOTW :

"The electric MBZ/BMW headrest comes out in one of two ways. The first thing you need to do is to raise the Headrest to the top using the electric switch on the car seat. Once the Headrest is fully extended, you need to go to the back seat and face the seat back of the driver seat that is directly in front of you. You need to look at the left Headrest post (door side) that is at the top of the car seat. If you draw an imaginary line from that post down the backrest of the car seat, in approximately 10-12" you will see a lump underneath the upholstery. This is a button that will release the Headrest. You will push the button and then pull the Headrest out. This is typically how the older MBZ Headrests are released. If you look on the backrest and cannot see or feel where the bump is, then the Headrest is released by what we call the clean and jerk method. That means that you raise the Headrest to the top using the electric motor, and then you kneel on the front seat, grab both HR post, and then give a firm shake and pull the HR upward at the same time. This will release the latch and the HR will come undone. This again is only the case if there is no button on the backside of the seat. When putting the HR back in the seat, the method is the same, regardless which way the Headrest is removed. You want to lower the Headrest until it naturally stops where the motor meets the post. You then want to tap on the top of the Headrest until you can feel the posts click into their latches. You will often hear, as well as feel, this happen. Then, you want to lower the Headrest using the electric motor."
