If using the 3 dail cluster you also need 2 new front covers:

You can't get the new design without ECO button, all the cars that come with it also have ECO function.

That is not OK to say when you clearly dont know or done your research. Sure you can. Just buy it from the R231 SL63 or SL65. No ECO button or seat belt button. Only problem is you need both. Since I Think the faceplate might be different so you have to move it over from the W207 version.

Pertnumber: A2318202310

And if you have the coupe you can buy one from W218 CLS.

Does this require programming? How does it work since E/S modes and M mode are separate functions in prefacelift cars. As u probably know u can have manual shifting and "comfort" suspension and shifts or auto shifting and sport suspension and shifting pattern etc.

Chris... this is an exciting mod! Can you sell the new color instrument cluster for a 2011 E350 Cabriolet? I suspect it would also require a program to update the cluster for an older model and the odometer miles.

No programming needed. Goes over can-bus. It lust toggles between the 3 modes. I have normal springs in my E500 so it does nothing to my suspension that sport button. Only the transmission.

Sure I can help you with that. 3 or 5 Clocks? Yes you must program it to marry your car.

3 dial for E350. How hard is it to program and is there software available for sale that the dealership can upload to the car?

It is not hard. You dont need new software. Just do "initial startup" with automatic transfer from old cluster to new and it is maried to the car with corect milage and service history. Then afterwards you just might need to do some menu Changes so you get the corecct menu choises like you had Before.

Are you sourcing most of your parts in country (Sweden)? Similar parts in USA appear to be significantly more expensive.

Added the trunk wing and love it. I understand why MB did a similar one on the last year of the W207 as an option. It realy lifts the look of the body.

Completely agree that the trunk spoiler enhances the look!
