unused button
what do you think the unused button next to the command controller is for?
......or what do we wish it were.
I wish it were a volume control. I loved the ability to manipulate the music choice & adjust volume in the same area like I used to on my S.

The CLS63 AMG has a completely different center console, the gear selector is there and layout is completely different.
The manual shows it as blank, so it's just unused space.

It must be for some type of unusual option. Foe example, on my 911 C2S, my car had all the sport options, other than the Porsche Sport exhaust. On my console was a blank button and once Porsche installed the exhaust, that button became the on / off button for the system.

Can you buy a working single button for that slot? It would be a great place to put the mute button on a custom radar detector install.

The E and S are standard; however, the M comes with the Wheel Package for around $700 dollars. I havent used it since I just got the car yesterday! Nevertheless, I told the dealer that the wheel package was a must.

Yes, the M is for manual. The only difference other than the wheels in the package is that the steering wheel gets small paddle shifters. I was surprised that MB did not make the manual feature a standard, since it was in my R-Class too.

I don't have a C218 but based on research and a few different test drives, the M mode requires you to use paddles to change gears. Whereas in the other modes, you can use the paddles but the car's computer will eventually takeover and change gears for you as it thinks best.

Does anyone have any instructions on how to dismantle the console in order to be able to route wiring to that unused button? As has been suggested here, I would like to put a mute button for my Valentine One here.
Thanks in advance!
