E200C-Fully loaded, Obsidian Black, ILS, Panoramic roof and some other bits and pieces.
Boxster is more of a non-family car, and it's a coupe.
That's probably why it didn't have it.
The feature is quite useful but annoying at the same time.
Imagine having both of the back door’s child lock activated and someone wants to get off the car, then you need to play the smiley chauffer part.

I think this depends on your phone. It is very easy on the iphone, just one button on the screen and your conversation goes thought the phone's mic/speakers (but the car stereo is still muted). Also, if I pick up the call through the phone (not by pressing any of the car's buttons) it will go directly to the phone and not the car stereo. Very usefull.

On mine, you need to program it before the passenger mirror will tilt downward in reverse gear. Here are the instructions:

So this can only be done on the passenger side?

Initially this didn't work. This not even in my manual.
What I did was start the car and put in reverse, then set the passenger side mirror all the way down to see the lines on ground in the parking spot, then press the memory button only.
To test this, press he left mirror button and should notice that the right mirror moved back to the regular position. Then press the right mirror button and the mirror will tilt back down. All this with car in Reverse.
Now everytime I put the car in reverse, the mirror tilts and will move back when I switch the gear. Remember that the right mirror button should be last active button for the mirror to tilt automatically.

I don't get a something from the first post:
"if you use two fingers you can do all fore windows at the same time, up or down."
How do you do that?

27) slight tap on blinker gives a short 3 blinks for lane changes
What is it?
37) you only get the beep beep beep on the alarm if you actually have an alarm. otherwise just lights will flash.
How to disable alarm?

"hold alarm on/off pointed at small square on driver's-side door handle to open/close sunroof and windows."
Guide me through this. Doing this would be a sick way to show off
So you press and hold the alarm button and aim the key at the driver door...
do the windows go up or down? I thought it would be something like you hold the open button to bring all the windows down, and close to bring them up...
Since there is only one button, which way do they go?
Does this process open the panorama roof? And if it does, how does it open it, tilt or slide?

You have to hold the button down until fully open or close, if you let go, it will stop.

OK so there is no need to point it a the small square. If you hold theunlock button down, all the windows and sunroof (slide) will open. If you hold the lock button down, all the windows that are open and the sunroof will close.
You have to hold the button down until fully open or close, if you let go, it will stop.

But, when I paused closing mid-way up, then pushed close again, they resumed properly.
Don't press the alarm button, you'll just get a scare!

New to MBWorld and thanks for the insight. One really convenient feature, although not really a secret, is being able to open the trunk without having to push a button inside. The car just has to be unlocked. I think all cars I've owned before this one, you've either needed a key, had to press a button on the driver's door or needed the key fob. Super convenient.
