[QUOTE=jstaneff;3460959]I did this the other night with a friend's new C (new 2008) and the pano roof did not open/close.

But, when I paused closing mid-way up, then pushed close again, they resumed properly. QUOTE]

It works fine with Pano Roof. I think what you were noticing is the time it takes for the roof screen to open/close. If the roof screen is closed and you hold the key outside to open the windows and pano roof, the pano roof will lag begind the windows, because it has to wait for the roof screens to open fully.

That's entirely possible. Mine doesn't have the pano and I was surprised that the 4 windows were all down and the pano hadn't moved yet. So, will have to try it again sometime!

thanks

I dot know if anyone knew about this, or if this was repeated, but in the setup of the car, you can set your car to auto close the side mirrors every time you lock, which for me is a plus, cause I'm always paranoid id dint lock my car, but now I can see its locked cause the mirrors are closed.

US vehicles don't have that option, period. Although it would probably arrive if they bring power folding side-mirrors to the 2010 model. Gotta love MBUSA....

No you are wrong. Any pre 2009 W204 in the states has it, power folding mirrors were dropped in 09 and substituted with memory seats.

We have both, power folding and memory seats, on both 08 and 09 here in Canada. I don't understand such a big difference in options between Canada and US.

I would much rather have the memory seats. Takes me forever to find my spot after someone moves the seat.

Yep, my 08 4MATIC does it all the time. I pulled the positive cable on the battery and I had to go back in the IC menu and reset it.

Its due to price differences in Canada VS US. Our cars cost more so MB gives more to Canadian market. Ya I know the prices a still better in the US on some cars, but not all.

I assume you have a 2009 model in which case no it is not available to you as you are in the US.
