the gauges for the km/h and navigation and other stuff
i'm not sure because it never turned on... but
according to the manual it should also control my distronic...
any ideas?

Hi
Are you talking about the main screen on dashboard? (One located in the center)
If so, I belive it has been turned off. You can simply turn it on by pushing down the control key on your arm-rest.
Did you purchase the car in Korea?
Let me know if my solution isn't working.
BTW, Gratz on your new car.

thanks for the input my problem is for the screen for the km/h
not the navigation or the audio and commnad thingy
but for the oil temp and gas meter dash board... lol
i've acutally purchased the car in germany few month back
and i air flown it in to korea.
thanks so far i've taken to local dealerships and they claim i need a new dashboard... uh
... i really have no faith in the korean dealers here.
thats just my opinion... thanks anyhow...

Great looking car and welcome to the forums. I suggest you contact Mercedes Benz world headquarters in Germany and explain your problem. I think the warranty applies to your car anywhere on the planet. Good luck
