Some or all of these functions may be valid for your car. Most of these functions can not be activated by the dealer as it requires the type of diagnostic that is specially modified.
 
Hi Miro ,

Im wanting the tank content and the auto fold on lock. do you know if the dealer can do this with star diagnose?
 
Concur - I have the folding mirrors - tank content would be nice on the E Class.
 
I would *kill* to get the auto fold mirrors - please tell me how/what I might need to do to get those activated. It's truly unbelievable that you have to press a button to fold them. MB could have saved the cost of the buttons by automating the process.


Miro - I also don't get how your name is mentioned on MBWorld.org (in the thread about these updates) but you don't seem to have posted? Am I being dim - it's been a long day!

The 2005 software in the 2005 front fuse box (SAM) has all of the correct coding for auto closing.

For the menu functions with additional information in the cluster you need to make an arrangement with Steve to visit the UK.

POSSIBLE AT DEALER
---------------------
Turning lights
Folding mirror activation on locking of car
Tyre Pressure loss warning (passive)

POSSIBLE WITH MODIFIED STAR DIAGNOSE
-----------------------------------------
Menu to show volume
Menu to show folding mirror option
Activation of some cars retrofitted with folding mirrors

POSSIBLE COST
-----------------
Coding fee
Front SAM coding or replacement

I should point out that in the SLK and E there were no hardware changes other than installing the power mirrors in the first place.
