Most of the time I like to keep my car in "S" mode. Every time I shut the car off to run into the store I have to change back to "S" mode because it defaults to "C". Is there a way to keep the car in "S" mode until I want it to go back to "C" mode? Is this something I just have to live with?

Nope. You have to switch it on every single time after the car is powered off.

Mine is a 2007 S550 and stays in S mode all the time, until I switch it to C

Same here....mine always stays in S unless I manually change it.

Facelift model Trannys revert back to comfort or eco once the car is shut off. The suspension will stay in sport mode but not the trans setting.

I believe it can be reprogrammed to make Sport the default. Dealer or Indie with Star can do it.

Yeah, I believe I heard that was the case.

Thank you for that info, I'm scheduled for some work at a local MB specialist shop who I would assume have STAR so I will definitely ask him if he can do that for me. Its a small annoyance but one I want changed. Thanks again!
