So.... has anyone heard back on this from MB? a month seems long enough, unless they're telling us to screw off!

Not a thing. Sounds like the only thing better than MB's "Quality" is

its "customer service". MB has better hope Lexus never learns how to make a more German feeling sedan.

FELLOW MEMBERS - Lets keep this post alive. With summer ending, maybe more of you have time now to send MB an email demanding this software fix. Only together do we have "the power"! Thanks.

Those of us (myself included) who have not sent messages should do so now. I agree we need to keep this flame burning.

On my 2005 E class cluster, I can search presets and memory.

"Presets" are "memory." But what do you mean by "cluster"? Not the buttons on the steering wheel, I assume.

Furthermore, this is the only way WE have to see how many members/owners potentially emailed - to date, 17 requests.

17 requests... and prolly 500 W211 owners surfing this site at any given month... no wonder MB doesn't listen.. we don't speak up!

exactly my point.

While i respect you wanting to get a PM to issue the email, as it is your thread, at this rate, its never going to amount to anything. If the email address is posted on this thread, its just that much easier for someone to click on the address and crank out an email. I could care less how many of us forum members send an email, i think the only way to get MB to listen (and i reallly don't think they care anyway as the cars running on 3yrs w/ no fix) is to bombard them w/ feedback.

Forgive me, but I disagree. If you shot gun emails they will never make it the Board, that’s what the flunkies are for.

Exactly! 17 complaints from roughly 600000 or more MBUSA E-Class owners to the DC Board - well enough said.

Someone should send email describing how someone nearly had an accident while looking down at the radio to change the preset channel to another. They should also mention that these could cause a liability issue for MB. Maybe that will get them motivated to get the software upgrade completed.

Ugh, I just heard back from MBUSA tech support concerning this issue (take it for what you will). Supposedly, all new '05 MBs have this problem, not just the E-Class. They have received several hundred or more calls into the call center concerning this but have no fix (and have not been notified that ther is one in the works).

Thanks! I sent the PM off a while ago and thought I would try support in the off chance they knew something. As usual, my enthusiasm got the better of me...
