What is the button (in the section next to rear sunshade, etc.) with the "P))))" ??
I believe this must be the button that you can press that de-activates the alarm if the car sensors detect the car is being towed? My previous 2 Benzes had this button, yet my W212 doesn't.
I noticed, no 2010 I've seen seems to have it, regardless of how well optioned it is.
Then I noticed recently, some 2011's have that button back. Also, EU cars all seem to have had it (or the option of it) since the beginning of the W212 run.
Basically, all the cars without it, have 2 "filled" buttons (sunshade, and rear head rest lowering), and two that are empty (could have done something fancier with that section M-B). Cars with that "P))))" thing, still have one spot open.

Come on, you guys are fulfilling the stereotype of the old man in a Mercedes. 
Don't you ever read the manual or just push the buttons and figure it out?
It's not rocket science.
Unless you're the Commander.
