Sorry to be such a total tool but I can't figure this out for anything. Here it goes. I am trying to find the setting so that when I have the audio displayed on the center of the speedo that when I hit the up arrows it will go through my presets on the radio and not scan. I have looked through every menu and can't find this. Please help.

 

Not stupid. Plain and simple, it won't scroll through the presets. Bad MBZ

 

What's worse is that you USEd to be able to arrow through the presets, but for some weird reason, MB discontinued that feature in the '05s.

So you're not a tool afterall, they are.

 

No, that was gone with the first W211's. Might be worth giving up for the DVD based COMAND though. NOT.

 

Thank God I am not loosing it. I knew I had the option on my 2000 E430 so I just couldn't believe they didn't include it here. Oh well.

 

I definitely have the option on my 2003. It is accessible through the SETTINGS on the instrument cluster. It is under the convenience menu I believe.. I'll double check in the morning..

 

Dealer told me that my 05 does not have that feature. I will check the submenus. If I do have it, you will be king for the rest of the week in my book.

 

Don't waste your time you don't have it. Stupid MB

 

I too have spent a good amount of time looking for this feature. My 210 E55 had it; I can't believe my 211 does not.

 

There is one good thing about the way the buttons work now. I set my presets for Sirius on channels in different categories. I use the buttons to scroll through the categories. That way I get quick access to more channels than I would get if it scrolled through presets. I do kow that for AM & FM, it sucks, but I rarely listen to them. I think Sirius is great and I can live without everything else. Just me and my $.02.

 

Anyone else having this problem with Sirius like I have? This is what happens with me.. For example, say you are on channel 45 then you press the "seek" button to go to channel 46,47,48,49, etc and it goes 46,47,48,49 then jumps back to 16,17,18,19 then jumps to 81,82,83,84 then to 11,12,13,14... WTF??? The Service Manager can't figure anything out, has no fix for it, and said "I have another SL with the same thing"

 

Simple (I think) seek, and the wheel buttons, select within one category (Pop, Rock, etc.) only.

 

Too late. Yeah, that was a dumb thing for them to do.

 

I'd be willing to bet that someone with Star Diagnostics can toggle that option on & off..

I am going to see my buddy with Star in the next day or two to get my ECU reflashed.. I'll see if I can get him to look for the option.

 

Sorry, I already asked about Star Diagnose - can't change these features.

 

Correct. No W211 has this feature, though I can't begin to understand why they changed it.
