sensor normally goes behind the sunroof on the headliner...
u don't really need full switch row with IMS button if u don't intend to ever "disable" it...
great to have if u r in a sunny city so u can roll down windows a bit and yet be protected....

4 wheeled car.
I got it done on my '07 US comand and it worked! Only think is that when you turn on the unit, and the AMG logo pops up, it's there for barely a second and then the COMAND warning comes up. Is that how it is w/ yours?

Where on the SWITCH ROW does the Switch go?
As on mine its FULL...L to right
L.Seat/Sunshade/Rearheadrests/4wayflasher/Doorlocks/Rseat
The IMS on our W211 is part of the center dome light and pops open when working...And YES it works Great if the windows are down or if the car is broken into

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Soup - To be honest, I'm not sure if it's legal, nor do I really care........
No negative problems yet in about a month (only positive comments) and I do quite a bit of driving
I have my state of residence and original plate numbers printed on the plate, ordered online from europlates.com....
Looks authentic, amazing, and simply stunning!
If you would like pics, I would gladly e-mail some
Again as far as legality, I guess it is what it is.......

BAD NEWS is that the previous owner put magnaflow mufflers and did terrible install... 
these are all 'before' pics and AAA did great job with install 'except' for the mufflers as i kept them there... i'll take install pics when i get a chance to raise up my car in the future...
