No Dashboard or start
Help - Got into my E350 C207 this morning, it unlocked I put the key in and the Steering wheel came down and thats it, Turn Key - nothing, No windows working , Radio works no ignition lights just dead, tried the spare key still nothing, when I lock the car the mirrors are not coming in, tried disconnecting the battery still nothing, got a bad feeling about this gulp !

Car still under warranty? Even if it's not, it sounds to me like it's time to call your local MB dealer and have the car transported (on a flatbed, not towed) to the shop.

thanks for that, went on a forum where a chap had a C220 with same problem, he suggested it you waggle the steering wheel very hard and thump it !!!
guess what- it worked, I'd parked with the wheels not straight so the steering lock must have been out of position, so he's saved me a lot of money, result !!

You may still need to buy another battery. How old are your batteries, both starter and accessory? If they're older than 5 years, you may as well replace them with fresh batteries, as it's only a matter of time and usage. AGMs have very limited charge cycles compared with Lithium variants. I just replaced mine after 7 years.
