In the gauge cluster display, it reverts to the odometer every time I restart the car. Since that's the least important thing I need to see I would like to know if there is a way to change the default to the AMG screen for oil and water temps. I did do a search but didn't have much look. By the way, I have a 2009 C63.

My '10 reverts back to the AMG screen, not sure about the '09

My '13 defaults back to the AMG screen.

Same.

My 2009 reverts back to the odometer. Would love to know if there is a setting to change it.

in my experience, most "cool" things do not apply to the 2009/2008. I have an 09, btw.

my 2010 come back to AMG after the start up

yup, I can never understand why Keyless-Go is missing for 09 MY while it's widely available in other countries, say Canada.

Our 09 TPMS does not have digital display for the tires pressure reading as well

I had a 2010 that starts up on whatever screen you left it on and had the individual pressure numbers for the tire.

the 2009 does not do any of these.

At least the 08/09's were able to upgrade to the newer tail lights while people were still reprogramming the SAM's

I guess you're forgetting that 08's and 09's allow you to remain in S mode when you start your car.

08s has folding side mirrors

604 C63

Whoa Whoa Whoa. Hold up.

You guys don't all have folding mirrors? In a Mercedes? Ive had 08 and an 09 and I thought everybody had the folders.......maybe just in Canada?

That can be controlled under convenience in your instrument cluster. Could that be it? And if not, please tell me you get the tilting mirror for parking. On both sides. I would have to just valet all the time other wise. I mean, I can hit the parallel first time every time but without that Id be all over the place.

Mine starts up with the screen left when the car was turned off. It is MY 13.

starting in 2010, they had the feature where it would stay on the screen you left off of... driving mode selection doesn't save.... it always reverts back to C... tpms display is better in the 10...

i had an 09 and now a 10 so i noticed a lot of differences...

and i wish i had folding mirrors on either of those...

so to answer the OP's question... the '09 will not do it afaik... i don't think even a software update can do it...

snowmuch

This! I had a 09 c300 with programmed SAM. Easy swap when I traded in for C63

Diabolis

My '13 coupe has folding mirrors, and as you said it's controlled through the instrument cluster. Not sure about the driver's side, but the passenger mirror tilts down for parking when you engage reverse if it's the one preselected on the adjustment controls on the door.

jarjoug

A bit surprised about the folding mirrors. On both of mine it was standard.

604 C63

Diabolis and jarjoug, you guys have the mirrors but you're both Canook like me. I know we dont have TPMS on our cars, I guess this is just another difference. Kinda a weird one tho.

My display always reverts back, but my tranny always stay in Sport.

vastermind

used to drive a 09. tried everything. no luck

Diabolis

Hi 604,

Mine has the discrete TPMS (it's part of the APX package in 2013), but the tranny does default back to C every time I start the car.

604 C63

What is 'discrete' TPMS? Thats a new one on me. I do get a tire pressure warning, although there aren't any TPMS sensors 'per se'. Is that the same thing?

Diabolis

Discrete as in separate or individual. My 2013 with the APX Performance Package has individual TPMS sensors in every wheel, and I can see a PSI reading for every wheel if I select it in the menu. I don't know what year your car is or if you have the performance pack, but the rest use the ABS sensors to detect when a wheel is spinning faster than the rest (a flat or deflated wheel has a smaller diameter) and throw a warning. AFAIK they made this change on the 2012+ LCI cars with the APX PP.

604 C63

Interesting. I wondered how they did that but of course the ABS makes perfect sense.
I have an 09 with the performance pack which is a little different in that it doesnt have the 30 extra hp (I have a tune anyways) but it does come with LSD and stiffer springs.

Thanks for the info. Learned my thing for the day...now I can watch action movies for the rest of the day
