Wink Anyway to change steering wheel control to cycle presets???

This is really annoying!!! I am able to cycle through my preset on my CLK but on my new SLK, I can only cycle through each frequency on the steering wheel button!!! On the CLK I can choose which options I want (present or frequency) in the instrument cluster settings menu. Have you guys come accross anyway to set the steering wheel controls to cycle through presents instead of frequency? Is there a newer firmware for the instrument cluster that would allow this???

Hmmm... I thought this forum was created to offer helpful advice for the MB community? I guess we have some useless people that cannot add anything constructive and just like to post whatever that comes out of their ***.

have you considered voice control ? It seems to do all that you asked for.

Yes, Steve and Dean installed it for me a couple days ago and it works great, although it's useless when the top is down.

I also would love to see this mod. I was spoiled by my C32 -- it'd change within presets.
