Tunnel Mode roof
Tunnel Mode
I have a 2002 c230k coupe with stock analog climate control... when i hit the recirc button the windows close but not the sunroof... same with opening.. is there a way to syncronize it so the roof will open and close also. Does any have a 2002 with analog controls and the roof is functional in tunnel mode?

No it wont work. The tunnel mode doesnt work on 2002 Coupes. I it will close the woindows but not the sunroof.
This issue has been discussed many times before though. There are more people who know more about this than i do.

I think all that is required is a change in the software setting to enable tunnel mode with the sunroof. It appears that in the US it has been disabled in all coupes maybe for safety reasons...who knows...but I don't think anyone in the US has asked or successfully persuaded their dealer to enable it...the dealer probably wouldn't know how anyway.

Guys, as someone said, we've had several discussions on this topic. The coupes and sedans have this feature, regardless of type of climate control -- digital or analog. It is access via the recirculate button. The reason the coupe roof does not close with this feature is that the coupes lack the "one touch close" feature. In the sedans, you press the sunroof close button past the initial detent and it closes even when you let go of the switch -- just like the side windows. The tunnel mode feature works by activating the windows' and roof's one touch close circuit.
The only reason I've come up with the lack of one touch close for the coupe roof is the shade issue. Perhaps they couldn't decide whether the shades should close via one touch, or just stop after the glass closes -- your guess is as good as mine. I don't see a safety factor specific to the coupe when the sedan has the feature for its sunroof.
