I think some features are removed based on customer input/complaints/wants. We just don't know globally how many customers send their comments to Mercedes Benz, either directly or via the service departments.

I know of someone who "hates" the parking assist feature. He asked me how to disable it and I told him to simply choose the driver side exterior mirror on the center console button and the passenger side exterior mirror shouldn't move down when he puts the car in R (transmission).

My preference on this feature is to leave it on since the customer/consumer can disable it if so desired. I wonder if there's a way to enable the software without reverting to an earlier version of the operating software.
