E-Class Climate Control Question
For those that have take delivery of a new E-Class, can you adjust the climate control settings from the steering wheel buttons? I was curious to this as the standard E320 (w/o 4 zone) doesn't have a digital climate control display and the temperatures are printed on the dial, therefore it can't be possible to adjust it from the steering wheel. Can you adjust the climate control only on cars equiped with 4-zone ("digital" climate control), neither, or both?
Thanks,
Rob

I am 99% sure that you cannot adjust the temperature from the wheel.
The climate control system is a stand alone system that is controlled only from the unit so it makes no difference whether you have the Thermotronic or Thermatic system.

This is correct, it is a separate system. What you can do with the 4-zone thermotronic is have your settings stored in your smart key. Also, by pressing a botton, the up front R and L temp selects can instead adjust the rear R and L. Useful if you have kids in back or someone who can't figure that stuff out and just wants you to make them cooler or warmer.

the brochure says you cannot control the a/c from the steering wheel.....it is right there, what else do you need? They put the audio buttons on, because i am pretty sure most of you change channels more than yoiu change the degrees for the a/c
