Radio Steering Controls, Is it possible to.....
I just got my 05 and when I set my menu to the radio in front of me and hit up or down to change stations it goes to the next available station opposed to my next preprogrammed station, is it possible to make it go to my preprogrammed stations instead of my clicking away trying to get to them?

It may be possible to reach, all the way over to he dash, and select the desired presets with those controls.

How can I make my C230 alarm "chirp" when armed/disarmed?
At the dealer, using the MB factory handheld laptop tester, go into the car's computer system.
Go into Programs
Locate the Rear SAM Program
Locate Body
Select Netherlands
Now the car does a "chirp, chirp, chirp" when locking/arming and a single chirp when unlocking/disarming

holy crap, i didn't know they took out the pre-programmed station function with the 2005's, what a bummer. and what a tradeoff (in a way) you can get DVD-navi now, but forget about going through presets with the steering wheel controls...weird

i discussed this with the dealer tonight, apparently all 2005 models across the board lost the ability to change presets with the steering wheel buttons, even the S class. some models have the option there in the setup but even if you enable it it doesn't work.

The question about functionality had two identical answers, prior to my post, in addition to all the prior topics with this same information.
My post, the one that has raised your ire, reflects my opinion on the subject, reach over and press the button ‘cause you can't do it from the wheel.

It's more than a matter of posting your opinion.Perhaps you don't understand the general purpose of this forum. It is for the members to help each other. It's NOT just for the moderators to be helpful.

It seems like your calling my prior statements "idiotic" fall more into the prohibited category, than into the charter for Moderators. Why not start being concerned with your own words?
My statement, to push the buttons on the radio, was correct information. There is every indication that providing correct information is helpful.

No where did I state that you violated the terms of use. I only pointed out that your useless comments were of no help.
