why is there 16 button on the dash (8 on each side of the hasard button)
Do they all have a fonction?!

here's a picture of the CLK 2005+ dash

thanks

I have 03 so I am sure but I dont see any heated seat buttons..

Stiggs

Yeah....the empty buttons on each far side are the heated seats I believe. Also the empty button next to ESP should be the rear window sunshade.

Stiggs

Also you are getting confused. Its not really 16 buttons. If the top button is being used (i.e. the rear headrest button) then the bottom button does nothing.

It's to remind you of all the optional functions you didn't buy. IMHO its the ugliest feature of the CLK interior. I like the way the 208 and other models used different face plates for different option combos.

srly.. I wish i had realy aluminum..not painted plastic..

I think my AUDI had better Interior as far as fit and finish..

That's why I got the wood trim package. Much more expensive looking. Immediately I disliked the fake aluminum even though I am tech look fan. How much money or weight did they save by using that crap instead of real aluminum, which is an oxymoron because aluminum is really fake steel.

Stiggs

I don't think my fake, plastic aluminum looks that bad? Does it?

The buttons on the far lower right and far lower left are for the ventilated seats option. The heated seat buttons referenced earlier are above them.

That's not exactly true. If you have heated and ventilated seats the bottom button is the ventilation button-

Stiggs

I didn't think the CLK had ventilated seats. Pic of those buttons?

FatTony001

Good info guys, theres a couple buttons left (unknow to me)

And what is Seat Ventilation option?? (what does that do)
like A/C for seats?

thanks

More or less, fans in the seats.

I didn't know the 05+'s came with faux alum still??

Ventilated seats are P3 on '08 CLKs

aluminum trim is real aluminum. I've taken mine apart.

The Missing button is for a rear sun shade

And or Distronic

Our 2007 209 Has the Heated and Vented front seats..in Two Tone

FatTony001

OK that's what we have for now!

What are the 5 missing options???

Lol you need to improve your writing!!

Anyways, I'm wondering, if there's a way to get buttons from MB and have them working for custom stuff? i.e. on/off switch for a laser jammer or something like that

rubensans

No, they are multiplexed on the CAN/MOST bus, so it will be very difficult.

You can buy the complete switch panel and all will work except the features that you don't have.

Stiggs

Everything looks good in the picture. I still don't think the CLK had ventilated seats. Does someone have this option? Can you post a pic of the buttons? Anyways the rest of the buttons should be blank. They don't have a function. They stay blank.

The Australian market "new CLK..." book I have shows two Towing buttons, with one below the button flagged above. The top one is "on" and the bottom one is "off" as far as I can tell.

MARK CUMMINS

Our 2007 209 CLk has Heated AND VENTED front seats in TWO TONE
along with a few other items...Btw ALL The Buttons can be USED!

The Heat and cooling Switch in the Dash is RED for HEAT and BLUE for Ventilation..as can be seen in the pics

Ever see a 209 CLK with DISTRONIC?

lkfoster

How about active cruise control? The EPC shows a grill for that option.

MARK CUMMINS

Distronic is active cruise control....

Pics soon!

Ooops, I'm still learning MB-speak. When I read it I was thinking Parktronic.
