Ok so I have this hole on the right side of my steering wheel and it looks like there was something there. So do any of you guys know if something was there and what its for? Thanks for the help!

And yes, that's the technical term for it.

I think so, I mean I have the integrated phone and all that stuff. But voice command, I don't know. How do you find out?

The phone mic is right up by the sunroof so I don't think that little part on the stearing wheel is for that. I thought since we share some stearing wheel components with the e-class that the e-class had a different adjustment on it that the CLK does not??

Cool
I drive 2001 clk55 and I have a 'phone' option there. Possibly yours was removed or never installed? It looks like the other levers (ie. cruise control), but controls the phone instead. It's a 4-way lever and I never use it.
My 2 cents.

Oh ok.. that clears that up. The only thing is that on the CLK you cannot adjust the searing wheel Up and down. It only has the telescoping adjustment. Does the E have both or is it power?

I guess that makes sense. Very interesting none the less. I wouldn't probably ever use it any!

Ya that sux, cuz I'm short and I wouldn't mind adjusting the steering wheel a bit lower, and I know I can raise the seat up but then I'm not as comfortable sitting higher.
