Thinking about this on the way home,,do alot of nite driving so,,the Lights switch (disabled the auto feature,I like a choice),,paddles especially the (-) one ,hills and turns both ways so it helps. XM for a possible good tune and then Im surfing for Traffic news and watnot.
Truth be told I am a bit aggressive when faced with clowns who mascarade as drivers so Im really using the tires which brings me to them brakes.Im still looking for brake dust so Im not using much wheel cleaner
Sunroof switch,mostly a 3 inch gash to vent watever I mite be burning

There is an adjustable vent for the climate control in the glove compartment to control the airflow.

Never checked it to see if it blows heat in the winter. It does cool Pretty well though. Just can't think of why I'd use it.

It's meant to keep your ipod comfortable.

Apparently it is to keep the electronics cool that are hooked to the cable in the box. However, the manual says to turn it off when heater is operating.

mini refreg? That would be great. Would love to store some waters in there....

my ipod interface is now in the center console so i wonder if that is now cooled?? The only electronic i would store in any box was one that is hooked up.

So having said all this, with bluetooth streaming and now the meta data coming over in bluetooth as well, there is never a need for me to plug in. (unless I want to charge) but i find it a real inconvenience to put my phone in the box where i cant see or hold.

Thats a cool feature MB has been using for yrs,,the little button for the right side mirror adjustment has to be engaged I believe for the "curb view" when parking,,,puts a big dent in curb rash repairs

Yup! get a thin 2' ipod/iphone to USB cord on EBAY and keep your phone tucked in one of the drink holders.

Cool



Everybody...
All the time...
Air conditioning. Right or wrong?

Hardly ever on the last 4 cars we've owned:
Back seat.
Glove compartment. Who uses gloves anyway? Why would you put them there?
Never:
Back seat arm rest & drink holders.

Whoa!!! Can you get BOTH side mirrors to move in or just the passenger? I thought only the passenger side would move in. I wish the driver side would move in as well.

Try it.

Put the car in Reverse. Tilt the mirror down. Press M-1 (or whichever) at that seat. Go to Drive. See if the mirror goes back up to normal. If so, see if it then tilts down when you put the car in Reverse.

C'mon man, he's talking about driving stoned, blazing up in the car (unless I'm completely misinterpreting here). Yes, I've done stupid things, and I've driven in cars where drivers were high, and it ain't comfortable. If I gotta lose "cool points" for condemning someone for being grossly irresponsible on the road, then so be it.

The forum of late reminds me of the valet parking outside of the Jerry Springer Show. MB's on the outside, lots of fights and maybe even inbreeding on the inside.
