'08 e350 4M
Just got an '08 e350 but I have a few questions please.

I just picked up an 08 e350, but I have a few questions.

What product would be good to clean the MB Text. The day I picked up the car I had black dress pants on and I noticed that some of the black actually bleed into cashmere. Anyway to get this out?

I cant seem to program the steering wheel so that I can change to the preset stations. I can only select presets on center console itself.

Thank you very much in advance.

Not sure about how to get the "bleeding" out but, without sounding condescending, try reading the owner's manual. I read most of it when I got mine just to find out what's what and how everything works! Good luck!

as far as the presets go .. switch to a preset, then make sure your multifunction display (inside your speedometer) shows you your radio station .. then use up/down arrow. This is actually extremely intuitive IMO.

Like TchrzBenz said, read the manual. Yes, its about 700 pages between the main one and the COMAND manual, but most of it is large pictures and what not. Read 50 pages every weekend or something. You're missing out on a lot if you don't.

Not sure if you are asking how to scan presets from the steering wheel or how to program the MFD to scan presets from the wheel. Vik888 advised on scanning from the wheel if already programmed. However, if you need to program using the buttons on the steering wheel:

- Select settings menu
- Press up arrow to call up submenus
- Press + or - to select the vehicle submenu
- Press up arrow to select audio search
- Press + or - to select Memory
- Press up arrow to select a different display

Frequency = station search, Memory = presets
