Engineering "secret" menu and other hidden features?

Does anyone have any cool "hidden" unlock how to's for the 2014's? Either via the engineering menu or otherwise? things like enabling grace note for streaming audio, the AMG logo on comand vs the star, etc.

Nah...I would like the AMG logo on start-up and the adaptive tranny to be inactivated.

I know how to get into the enginering mode, but do not know how to change or enhance anything. Hold the red "hang Up" button while holding the number 1 and the hash or pound sign. I someone else know how to change items let us know.

Couldn't find the other thread on tips and tricks but thought I'd add this one that I just found. Those of you with previous MB's probably already know, if you hold the lock button on FOB, all the windows will close.

To save the fob's battery power if you have Keyless-Go, you can also keep your fingertip on the square part of any door handles until windows and sunroof will close and then the car locks itself. On the other hand, press and hold the unlock button on the fob until all the windows and sunroof open; also the driver's seat ventilator will turn on. Nice feature for the summer.

If you press and hold the unlock button of the FOB, it'll open all windows and sunroof.

You can also close your trunk by press and holding the trunk opening button.

Have fun.
