missing convenience menu options?

So i have come across a strange phenomena with these cars.. I was under the assumption that these cars do not have the auto-folding mirrors option

however i have talked to other w215 owners who indeed have this option under their "convenience" settings in the settings menu on the instrument cluster. both face lift and pre facelift cars

I have further confirmed I am not just mistaken, as i have talked to other w215 owners who do have this option available in the menu

when i go to access this menu, nothing happens it just brings me back to the main "press r to reset settings button"

i do know my instrument cluster was once replaced under recall, but does anybody have any insight how to access this option on cars without the option aviable?

you have to have the physical option
then, in cluster, the option as to be activated with Xentry
so if your cluster has been replaced by a jackass without Xentry, then you have the solution

anyway
if someone wants to retrofit any option like paddle shifters or any other option, PM me, I have access to MB VDOC servers so I can add any option officially to your car then Code the option in with remote online coding
as long as you have a SDconnect and Xentry

Its there. Navigating it can be a little misleading & or confusing.
