W205 Hidden Tips and Tricks?
Hey guys, just wondering if there are any hidden tips or tricks on the W205 that people may not be aware about. Anything from keyless go features to hidden options. If this is popular, I will update my post with all of the tips and tricks. Potential sticky incoming?
So far I know of these:
*Pulling the cruise control knob towards you then down twice quickly will reduce your speed by 10MPH in 1 second without your brake lights coming on
*Holding down the unlock/lock button on the key fob will either roll down/up the windows and moonroof
* Quickly tapping the brake after coming to a complete stop will put the car in hold, allowing you to stay in a brake position without your foot on the brake. The instrument cluster will say "HOLD" if done correctly. Hitting the accelerator,opening the door or turning the car off reverses the feature.
I'm sure theres loads more, but I am unaware.

Locking your wife outside the car in a thunderstorm and then rapidly unlocking and relocking it when she tries to get in will get you punched in the *****. Eventually. By a very wet and angry woman who needs to develop a goddamn sense of humor BTW.

der_Wolf, check this link: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ml#post6727865. It contains a good summary of hidden gems for the new C-Class. I'm new here too and sometimes don't have the patience or knowledge to search the forum, but the "Search this Forum" button at the top works wonders!

Can someone give me some radio surfing advice?
What is the best was to stroll through the stations using the steering wheel controls? Moving to the radio menu and sorting through all of the channels seems like a pain. I tried changing the menu to presets only but that only barely helps. Voice recognition annoys me even thought it is pretty decent.
Is there a way to scroll through channels to view what is playing without changing the station (a la VW)? I primarily use SiriusXM. How is everyone else doing the dashboard DJ thing?
