Racetimer

This is a feature of my CLS 63, has anyone used it and if so could you relay your experience with it. Since there seems to be only a handful of actual CLS owners I wonder if anyone has had the time to utilize this feature. I am going to check it out this Sunday on my way to Vegas so I will post a follow up.

Happy Holidays to all my AMG brothers and sisters

Funny you should say. As I took most of the day off work to spend in the parking lot playing with my car and answering questions to gawking passer bys. I played with the laptimer.

It's quite simple to use. Ones you're on the screen you hit the + sign to start and pause timer. And then hit the (-) TWICE to go to the next lap. It gives you a cool report at the end of your laps and your best time. VERY COOL considering a steering wheel mounted system would run you a few hundy.

Still trying to figure out why SOMETIMES I can get to the MAP settings edit screen and SOME other times the buttons are grayed out.

Actually dude, looking through the manual last night I saw a couple of pages on this. It was like on page 148 or so of the big manual. Very thorough.
