On the W211s it no longer displayed the AM frequency in the IC when the comand starts up with AMG.

greetingz,
Steve is right... the AM frequency does not show up on mine anymore.
I don't really care since I never listen to AM radio.

A SL55 delivered 8/18/07, and an E55 wagon delivered 5/11/05
I have changed the radio over to the AMG screen on both my cars no sometime ago no problems I also did it on Vic 55's and LisaMcgu's cars ( with thier permission ) and they had no problems. I also been taught a way to lower the rear quarter windows of our SLK's while the top is still up anyone wanna know? I sure there is a MBZ TSB out there voiding our warranty on this also. ( Gee my engine and Trans are shot not covered because you used the 3-5-7 trick) Wolf

Mr. Wolf, assume you do lose the AM radio channel display in the center display also (I assume this bug in the programming is why they are not setting AMG boot screen as the default)?

Also on lowering the rear quarter windows, I think that is in the manual. I use it all the time during the hot summer. If I want to leave the windows "cracked" but not so noticable I lower the rears about 1 inch. Also once driving, to let the hot air blow out (while the A/C catches up) I lower the rears with the door windows still up.

Basically it's a double tap and hold on the convertible top switch on the center panel. The rears drop first, then it you continue to hold the door windows drop.
