Thought it might be a good idea to start a thread with any secret menues/tricks etc that can be done/unlocked with the C Class.

So Go Ahead lets here some,

p.s I know of none so I cant start off

 

They've been discussed in many (and even current) threads.. I won't be the one to say it but...

 

 

Sorry, newbie, but you gotta be initiated:

How 'bout first you try this link:
LINK: POSTING AND YOU

Then you can ask Steve (MBenzNL), which "add-ons" are available for your C200 CDI.
Here's a thread about his upcoming October trip:
LINK: Steve's October trip

The Star-Diagnose menu add-ons/subtractions can amount to A LOT more than simply starting a new thread because it's most likely that there are more than anybody on this forum can possibly post, but just to give you a few that have been added/subtracted on this forum:

1) Add folding mirrors/menu
2) Add phone menu
3) Add alarm beep w/o diabling panic
4) Add tire pressure sensor
5) Add tunel mode (for older models)
6) Add IMS (Interior Motion Sensor)
7) Add Parktronic w/ display ('05 and up have the additional display in the speedo menu)
8) Subtract "NO PHONE" message

Can anybody add anything else that I missed or elaborate/clarify what I may have written down wrong?

 

This noob is in the UK -> he can just hop a train and drive over. :p

 

True dat. Didn't notice it until after I posted...so even better for you, newbie!

 

Let's not be harsh folks...

For "menus" (not mods) do a search on "dyno mode" and you will find several threads.

 

Cheers mate! Your best friend here at the forum will be "search". From there, a lot of guys on here can help out if you can't find the answers.

 

I think the tunnel mode is pretty cool...

 

It's definitely pretty nifty, but he's got a 2006 so it should be standard on his car...well, it was standard on my car (2004.5), so in this case I'm assuming it's standard.

 

I tried thy dyno mod that works but its pretty useless as it just disables all the safety features, but what about the others such as folding mirrors etc do you have to have a diagnostics machine to unlock them?

 

press and hold the "recirculate" button on the a/c unit...it should close all your windows including the moon roof.

 

press and hold the unlock button on the key while standing next to the drivers door with the key facing the door handle and all windows will drop the reverse happens if you press lock.

 

Frank..I love this feature. I find it useful when I have a phone call and need to close my windows. And I really like how I can press and hold the "recirculate" button again and everything will return back to its previous position.

 

this one, you can defintiely found on search:

I did this one for you:

LINK: "Folding Mirrors" search in Reg. w203 and AMG w203 forums

Now you try!

 

doesn't work for me?????????

 

dead link :p :p :p :p

 

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

 

Or search Sunman

 

Sorry, fixed the link. Should work now.

 

Sorry Drex. Just tried it. I know it worked this am. Could it be that your browser memorized it on your computer?

 

Dunno...

Let me start over.

 

LINK: Folding mirrors search

 

Still doesn't work. Can you give a short explanation of what you're trying to post?

 

I basically just gave a link for one search that I tried.

When you click on the Search drop down and the Advanced Search hyper link, it brings you to the Advanced Search webpage. In the Key Word(s) area, type in Folding Mirrors and go to the Search In Forum(s) menu (bottom right side of the page). Scroll down until you see the C-Class (w203) forum, highlight that forum and click the Search Now button on the bottom.

Wow, didn't know I'd spend the time to explain that, but...oh well, "When In Rome..." "That doesn't make sense." - Anchorman, The Movie.
