New C55 AMG

Just got my car about a week ago! I love it!!! Here are some Pics!! Just a few complaints about the command though, when going through radio stations using the steering wheel it goes to the next tuned station and not my next preset, pretty damn annoying so I don't use it. Can't name cds but it reads cd names from some cds (so I here). And the radio has no pty feature which would display the song name that is playing on the radio. Otherwise the car is AMAZING! Just can’t wait till I hit 1000 miles so I can race a friend’s m3.

I see you have a Ipod in the cup holder. Where do you have it connected to?

you can set the steering wheel control to go to the next preset station for the radio. just go to the setting manual by going through the selection on the display.

Steering wheel setting for radio.

I tried to make it so that the steering wheel radio button goes through my presets but i couldn't find the setting. The dealer said I can't do it. Remember the command changed on the new c55's. Does any one have exact instructions on how to do it? And yes my iPod is hooked up to my aux port in the glove box.

As I recall its not via COMAND. Look into your MFD, under the settings menu.

I didn’t get to choose the color. The dealership had already had the car being shipped to them so it was preordered when I bought it. It was supposed to be there showroom model but they sold it to me. So im guessing most C55 owners right now either have black or silver because that’s the color the dealerships only ordered it in I think!

the setting for radio presets should be in the vehicle menu of the Instruement Cluster. I have heard that this feature has been deleted on 05 so I am not sure it will be there.

It is the same on the E class. you can only go through to the next available station (not preset) in the menu.

I really like the inside on the new C class. Looks great. Good luck!
