Quick button to raise car
Hi Gents
From what I understand the pre LCI cars used to have a raise, lower button on the dash. This gotta be super convenient. My LCI model has this same function buried in the settings menu. Is there a quick way to access this or program a button to do this quickly?
Thanks

I do and it interrupts my tunes, or the news, or the conversation I’m having with a passenger, or my phone call… I used to just reach down and *poof* massage.
Then I have to wait while Mercedes reiterates everything back to me.

You can set these buttons quickly accessible on the quick settings screen. I almost never use the voice commands.

Hard buttons are far superior to using voice or some buried area in a menu. Unfortunately car manufacturers insist on going software based and I personally feel it is a step back. I have a 2018 and when lowered the quick raise button gets used a lot. It's almost automatic with muscle memory.

It's a term all the BMW guys use and I guess I just got used to it. LCI is Life Cycle Impulse, a fancy way of essentially saying it's half-way through the life cycle and got an update.

Yeah I don't get why they removed the passenger button. I liked being able to set my wife's heat seat without reaching across the cabin. Lifting the car is now an extra step and eyes off the road situation. Click the vehicle button to access quick access, then find and click the desired button (lift).
Pre facelift buttons. Very useful and fast. The downside? You get blank switches if your car isn't fully equipped. HUD and rear sunshade were the common blanks that I've seen.

If you have a party number handy I'd love to look more into it

I found a few on ebay. I think the trim piece part number is separate from the button control unit. Even if you changed it, I don't know how you would program the buttons or tell the car to communicate with the module, especially in a facelift model.
Here is the link to the listing: w213 carbon fiber trim piece

I keep hearing about more and more stuff that I dislike about the facelift cars. Sucks, because this is another one. I often wondered how those items were controlled that had simple buttons right on the dash on the 18-20 cars such as rear window shade, heads up display, and raise/lower.

why don’t they get rid of the auto start stop button and not even have that stupid thing. Give us buttons that matter

What they've done is make driving these cars more dangerous, because you have to take your eyes off the road to flip through a menu to raise or lower your car when you want to exit/enter a slope, etc. It's very counterproductive.
