2008 C300 Sport 6MT X-Pipe
Default Dashboard Setting
Hello All,
Been lurking here for a year - This is my first post. So... Hello!
I have a 2008 C300 Sport with the manual transmission and love it! This is my 2nd C Class, 1st was a 2003 W203 C230 Sport.
I have a question... Is there a way to default the information screen on the dashboard to the setting I want to see all the time? Right now when I start the car it defaults to the odometer and I find myself pressing the down arrow on the wheel every time I drive away. I'd like to have it just default to the 'From Start' screen. I had the option to do this in the W203 but can't seem to make it work on the W204.
I referenced the owner’s manual but couldn't find anything.
Thanks so much for your help. I look forward to the response!

Earlier models used to remember the cluster computer menu selection, our W204 does not but the W212 again does. I wonder if there would be a version coding option to change this, unlikely though.
