Hi All,
I'm 150 miles into my e300 and enjoying the high tech aspect of the car. I'm trying to follow the voice command manual and learn how to use it efficiently. However, i would like to know if there is somewhere that i can place a 'favorite phone list' of about 8 or 9 commonly dialed numbers for easy access with one or two clicks or turns of the dial without voice commands like i had on my e 350. Thanks, Elliot

Add them into favourites. The contact can them be called with one click.

Thanks for the response. Is there only one favorite lists on that screen or does phone, nav, radio,etc, each have their own favorite list?

I think there is only one favourites list. Some items have presets including the radio. This is how I have established favourites for frequently called contacts. I use the controller knob on the centre console. I am in Australia using a right hand drive car so when I say right it may be left for you. Open your contacts/phone book select a contact by pressing the knob, slide to right and select "Contact details" slide right on contact details and save as global favorite. Press home button and go to favourites and save the contact there by pressing the knob. Repeat this for all contacts you wish to add to favourites. Once in favourites you can then move them to the right or left. I hope this makes sense and you find helpful.

Well, 1 click, then scroll/scroll to find the ones you want. I find that screen impractical for phone numbers or addresses. But then there aren't any others.

It depends on how long your favorites list is. My favorites contains 4 entries - all direct family.
I rarely use that feature because I prefer voice commands - call my-favorite-restaurant.

Hi There, as others have mentioned there is only the 1 favorites list which contains all favs for contacts, radio, nav etc... Just curious why you'd prefer to avoid voice commands for calling? I find it works very well and is the quickest, one touch way to make a call.

That's not true for the BMW e300...

What is a BMW e300 to which you refer? This is a Mercedes-Benz W213 E class forum.
The MB E300 voice commands work very well. They are much better than anything BMW has to offer. Yes, I own both brands.
