radio volume feature delete
mbtech, do you know of an easy way to disable this auto-volume feature on MB radios? It says take it to the dealer but they're always busy.

Maybe on a model newer than a 99 you might be able to turn it off but my car is a 99 and I just had it turned off. I asked if there was a way to turn it off by pressing a certain combo of buttons and they said no, it had to be hooked up to a lap top that they have.

can confirm (at least for my car), required a trip to the dealer.
hooked it up to a diagnostic machine, and was on my way in literally 5 minutes.
Also had them turn-off the security feature "lights on at night for a minute after you turn the car off and lock her up". (sorry for using such complicated technical talk )

Hey Drew!
How did you do that security feature "lights on at night for a minute after you turn the car off and lock her up" do you have to go to the dealer for that? Becuz somtimes that's kind of annoying!

I don't know if you remember (or were on the board then) an E55 owner with the handle of 'E'. He pointed out to me the auto-volume solution and the at-times annoying lights-stay-on problem: he felt that having the lights go on was less of a safety feature ... and more of a 'look at me and my nice new 'benz' feature (akin to the beep-of-the-horn when locking the car with the remote ... which i have disabled as well).

i'm going to the dealer tomorrow to turn off the auto-volume feature. i think it would be ok if the change in volume wasn't so great. is it adjustable at all?

Although I had it turned off, I think I remember the Tech. asking me if I just wanted it reduced.
