Smile W211 Remote?

I have a W211 and there is what looks like an infrared port on the comand unit. Does MB have a a remote that can be used to control the radio functions? If so, what is the cost?

IIRC, IR receivers only pertain to video functions in non-North America units. I might be wrong there...

I do see the IR port that you do, but don't think it's active in NA units...

Sure that's not the sensor that changes display to night or day?

I know in other models, there is a remote control for video and non-video functions.

MSRP for A220 827 00 42 is $280.00

FWIW if I search EPC "generically" I can find this part number.

If I search using my VIN this part is listed as "not applicable."

Not sure whether this means "didn't come with" (which I know!) or "doesn't work with."

The part is described as "2004-2006" BTW.
