No. Just as it's not possible to have it set up to start off in M Mode rather than C.

The old generation of cars used to remember your settings. The new ones default to lame mode for "green" nonsense.

Is this just a U.S. thing? I have always assumed it was something that could be set in STAR. Of course, a dealer might not do it, but they aren't the only one with access to do modifications in the software.

It might be possible to tinker around with the STAR programming, but you could also screw up your computer if you don't know what you're doing.

It never bothers me, after all, it is a simple part turn of a dial which is pretty close to where your hand is.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
And all that extra steps like turning a dial and pushing various buttons at start-up make it seem like you are flying a plane or starting a race car.

Very true, but once you get in there you can do a lot of cool stuff, at least on some other models, from what I understand. Of course all the menus are in German.

I know they can program out the Eco mode on the 157 engine when tuning. I will see if they can program out the reset mode too. My CLS is going in for some more mods next week.
