FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Yes, pushing the mute button is the only way to go.

I have read the manual several times--MB really need to re-write this section to clarify things. The last two buttons on the row of dynamic seat buttons next to the driver's seat are used to control the lumbar support. From what I get out of the manual, I believe the rear-most button controls how high or low the lumbar will be; the button anterior to that controls how much the lumber "sticks out." Personally, I have played with those two buttons many time but I'm still not 100% sure if I have full understanding of what they do.

thats kinda silly the S has a radio off seperate than the whole signal


yeah i figured the rear buttons on the multicontur control the lumbar but i think they work better on the passenger seat, even tho its just airbags either way

the car likes to fart alot
every time u close a door it tends to release some air, even after 5-10 minutes after car is off?

nicky, did u just get a 7 series, noticed your sig changed

Even worse, If you hit mute while the nav is talking its very difficult to get the nav voice back.
Anyone know the secret to that?

Nav Vol/Mute is seperate from Radio Vol/Mute.
You would have to hit the mute/vol control when the nav was talking, which is hard to time when you previously muted/lowered it.
I don't use Nav very much and that caught me off guard.
