Made the switch

Hi guys,

I pulled the trigger and switched my 05 CLK320 coupe over the weekend for an 08 CLK550 cab. The new car only has 13.5k miles!!
The power is addicting and causes a constant grin!

I had a couple of questions. The reverse dip mirror and changing temperature to celcius aren't available in the cluster menu as they were on the 320. Is there any way to set them?

I will post pictures soon!

An '08 CLK 550 cab? That's a terrible car! Oh wait, never mind. No mirror dip, but I thought for sure you could change to Celsius. I'll check mine.

So I went to the dealership and they managed to set it to celsius via STAR but couldn't find the mirror dip anywhere. Sucks as it's a great feature.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
I believe the mirror dip feature was discontinued. I know MY2007 does not have it.

yupp discontinued. but if you have memory seats (you most probably do with a 550, great choice) it can probably be enabled from star. just don't expect the dealer to know how.

Yeah that's what I figured. If it has the memory pack it can somehow be enabled from STAR. The dealer couldn't find it however....
Here's first pic. Grin came standard with the car!

Awesome car! You got the P2 with the BiXenons which makes a huge difference on the look of the car imo. Congrats! I went from an 04 E320 to an 08 CLK550 and the grins never end i'll never forget test driving the car through Beverly Hills. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. The CLK550 is pure joy
