Question Couple questions regarding C-Class functions

First off, I got my VIM installed from MidCity and it works great. I will post some pics/videos later on.

Now, there are a few things that I cannot figure out that I think are features of the C300:

1. How do you use the headlight cleaner? I know there is a way to squirt some washer fluid on them, but I can't figure it out and the manual is no help.

2. Is there a way to have the mirrors tilt downward when in reverse?

3. Is there any way to make the voice for the navigation louder? It remains at a low volume and whem music is playing it is hard to hear her. The music does not stop for the voice and its very frustrating..

4. Anybody know if you can watch videos from an iPod video via the AUX when you get the VIM? The AUX is not accessible in my car.

Any insight on anything above is appreciated. Thanks guys

1. The washer is automatic, and it does it every 10 washes of the windsheidl or so.

2. The tilt mirror is an option MB has removed in the W204 (cost cutting?)

3. You can make it louder by increasing the volume WHILE the nav voice is talking, same goes for the prompts ( i dunno if this is documented but i found it out by accident) -/+ keys or the knobs to increase volume during the nav speech, but u have to do this quickly as when the voice stops, u'll just increase the volume of the audio

4. Can't help you don't got VIM

You need to buy the memory seat option to have the tilting mirror. I believe memory seat function is not available in USA

I have a copy of the C350W (MY09) Dealer's Online Guide that describes "Class Modifications vs. Previous Year" and it mentions the "Tilt-Down Reverse Passenger Mirror" as being added to the Premium 1 Package (standard C350)".

The other changes mentioned are (quoting):

1. Driver's Side Memory with Power Steering Column and Tilt-Down Reverse Passenger Mirror" as being added to the Premium 1 Package (standard on C350)

2. 18" AMG Wheel Option (code 786) now with All-Season Performance Tires (also available for C300 Sport 4MATIC. Delayed availability.)

3. Integrated Compass in Rear View Mirror replaces Power-Folding Mirrors in Premium 1 Package (standard C350)

4. Burl Walnut Wood Trim option (code 731) now also available for Sport Sedans

5. Almond/Mocha (code 115/215) Interior replaces Cashmere/Savanna (code 104/204)

6. New tone Grey/Black Interior (code 118/218)

That's all.

On every 10th windshield WASH. And parking or headlights must be on.
