Don't know why you want it to do tricks - but this was somewhat humorous.

whilst radio is on, hold down for 3 seconds:

mute end_call SERV

I can change the language and several other things under my setup menu and also from the dash display menu button, but yours is probably different. Are there any "tricks" I can do w/ my old S?

Try to find a Home Depot with your Nav. I'd like to see that trick.

In fact, try to search for any retailer by name. Maybe find a Barnes and Noble bookstore? Nah, just kidding. No Nav unit can do that, right?

Mute + 3 + 1 should be the same as mute end service.
I think your right, no nav can do that. especially those damn lexus nav's.

They can't even provide you with a phone number to home depot.

Actually, the Lexus Nav is fantastic. I've never seen a Nav unit that can't search for retail business by name. (Except in my E55)

Why didn't Mercedes contract out the Nav unit to a company that knows how to build a proper one?

I have to disagree with you on this one. Lexus nav is years ahead of MB and how do I know? Well I have a Lexus and I use its nav all the time. It is more intuitive and user friendly. It can even search address by using the business phone numbers. Even my office number is listed and I live in a small village south of Buffalo NY. And the touch-screen interface is much more convinient than the current MB system, although the current MB nav is whole lot better then the previous comand in my 2002 E55. The only problem with the Lexus is its voice recognition system; it sucks compare to the MB.

I know i was trying to be sarcastic, the lexus nav is awesome. I was driving with my buddy and we wanted to get food, he was able to find the place by name get its number and dial it, from the touch screen.
