If you have the bi-xenon your high beam halogen will still function along with the bi-xenon headlights.
Take 2 thick cardboard or something, cover up the halogen high beam and flash your high beam to see that the bi-xenon is actually functioning. So instead of having 2 high beams you have 4 if you have the bi-xenon package.

I don't have my C350 until December, but my Q5 has a shutter on the lense and pulls up when I select high beam. Audi calls it Xenon plus, but there's no bi-Xenon in the name. When I think Bi-Xenon it leads me to believe left & right Xenon....Hmm just a second....
I just went down to my garage to look at our 2013 SLK350, it has Bi-Zenon and there's a shutter that pops up revealing the entire lanmp.
Hope this helps.

W204 C200
can someone confirm this? i feel it in my 2011 FL C200
when either of the following occurs:
a) you turn the steering quickly
b) you go WOT with the accelerator
c) you slam on the brakes
the seatbelts in front tighten up. you don't feel them tightening up because there is still a small bit of slack but i definitely cannot push my body further front because it feels like the belt has tightened up.

W204 C300
I recently played with the auto tilting on my 2011 C300. Only the passenger side mirror will tilt, and then only if you have it selected with the mirror selection button on the door. It seemed a little strange to me, so I checked with my service adviser at the dealership who stated that it's working as designed.

2013 vs 2014 Distronic Plus display
I found a difference on the Distronic Plus graphic on the instrument panel display. The 2013 displays a side view while the 2014 displays the view as you will see it from inside the car.
I wonder if the 2013 software can be upgrade to the 2014 version?

I think you need the memory seats to have the passenger mirror reverse tilt-down function even though the manual has directions to do it without the memory. On my E, the reverse tilt-down is a convenience option in the settings menu, but I don't see anything like that on my C, nor can I get it to even work

C220 2008 W204
Hi all,
Great thread.
I have a European model C220 (diesel) 2008 W204 auto (tiptronic)
I have an AUX in at the glovebox (see pic) but can't seem to access the Aux on the stereo? I've tried pressing RADIO multiple times (it just changes FM / MW / SW / LW) and when I press the DISC it just goes to the disc and nothing else.
Any ideas?
