    GLS X166 Android upgrade

    Interesting. I'm not sure if it's just me but your pictures (at least that's what I assume they are) are just showing as lines of data/text. No images at all. IGNORE THIS - must be me. They've suddenly come through. Sorry.

    Personally speaking I always found my stand-alone TomTom sat nav was miles better than the Becker.

    New C Class pricing

    Forgive me. I didn't know there was a set number of posts I had to make before I could comment about the Mercedes warranty policy. I'll try and do better next time.

    New C Class pricing

    If the quality is so good then why is the warranty only 3 years?

    Time to win the lottery....

    If I were going to pay that money (and I'm not planning to!!) then I'd expect Mercedes to stand behind their quality and give me a 7 year warranty at least. Funny how the cheaper brands are prepared to do that, but not Mercedes.

    W213 COMAND online map update stuck on 66%

    I've got rid of my S213 now, but the navigation system is done by Becker, and in my experience of them 3 years is not unusual. I holiday in France a lot and often found that the roads I had been travelling down for 3+ years didn't appear in the navigation. It's quite funny when you look at the...

    Winter wheels

    If I remember correctly, you have the S213 E-Class? If so then they should fit. Alloy Wheels Direct is a good site for getting a correct match: 19" Mercedes 6 Spoke wheels in 7X44 High Sheen with Tremolite Metallic - Alloy Wheels Direct (5855470)

    Winter wheels

    Sorry for the late reply - for some reason I didn't get notified and only just seen the message. Yes, my wheels are still available. As you say, you do not have to have staggered wheels, and mine are from MB and approved for the car. Let me know if you want any more info.

    W213 Run Flat tyres on 20" wheels

    I did buy some 19" winter wheels and tyres (still runflats) and that improved the ride quite noticeably. Even though I was impressed with the 20" ride, albeit a bit hard in my view, I enjoyed the 19" winter ride much more. I've now downsized to an A-Class which, with smaller wheels/tyres, is an...
