An update: Despite all efforts the Android Auto wired connection remained unreliable so the supplier gave me an Apple Carplay wireless setup via a small third party box connected to the usb port in the centre console. I am glad to say that setup has worked perfectly for the past several months.

The one other thing I forgot to mention was that I do NOT like the absence of a spare wheel (even space saver) on the C238 as I sometimes find myself in the far corners of the country on golfing trips and dread that I might get a puncture... so far, so good... otherwise love the C238

An update: As a very happy owner of two E250 C207's coupes with panoramic roof I am now the proud and happy owner of a 2019 C238 E220d AMG with the new style panoramic roof for the past 6 months. The following are a few of my thoughts for anyone considering the same move. It is interesting that...

A 2nd update: While Android Auto (wired connection) continues to load automatically it drops the connection within a few miles and when then repeatedly restarted it drops the connection each time within a few miles. If I have a journey destination set it will pick up that journey detail as if...

An update: I noticed "Mercedes Me", while registered when I got the car, was not 'active', so, while I have never really used it, I decided to reactivate it.... and guess what... Android auto started automatically and ran perfectly for an outward journey I then took of about 20 miles. For the...

I am the recent proud owner of a lovely low mileage 2019 C238, having previously owned 2 x C207's. I purchased the car from MB and it has the Command system. At he time MB told me it did not have Android Auto but referred me to a third party supplier. That supplier initially said they would not...

I have. As it works fine all day other than first thing in the morning I was hoping it was a known issue and lubricating the mechanism in the footwell with a low temp grease/oil might do the trick

The hand parking break is now sticking in the morning, despite being serviced at my last MB service. It can take 20 pulls to release it in the morning or lift pedal with foot but once released it is then fine for the rest of the day. I wonder if in service they oiled/greased it somewhere but...

The brake hand release beside the steering wheel on my C207 has started to "stick". Sometimes pulling it releases the brake on first attempt but most times it is now taking several attempts (sometimes as much as 20 in the mornings) to release. Is there a quick fix or must I bring it back for...

Thanks AndrewOl. I opened and then closed the offending rear window and then held the button in the close position for a bit. Than seemed to reset the mechanism and has worked for the past few weeks

I have a C207 E250 coupe and recently the rear window does not always automatically close fully when the front window is closed. I can close it manually. Those who know the car will know that when a front window is closed on this pillarless model the back window retracts slightly while the front...

Update: Before saying anything I should add that three weeks and about 800 miles on from my B service the break pad wear waning came on (My service report indicated 5ml on pads suggesting they would need to be replaced before next service). I immediately booked the car in for breaks and sunroof...

Thanks everyone. Especially interesting to know the panoramic roof lubrication should be done every 3 years. I cannot see note of that but will ask. I was trying to find out if B service includes diagnostics, what diagnostics would they have run when I brought it back with the roof closing...

I have a Merc E207 coupe 2015 40k miles which has just had a B service with my local authorised Mercedes service agent from whom I purchased the car and have serviced it since. I have had a problem with the panoramic sunroof the first time I used it following the service. I has always worked...

An update: I took my car to my local MB Dealer where I bought the car and outlined the problem. Their first response was to say the car was 5 years old and look up their price list for the cost of a repair. When pressed indicating this is a known problem readily identifiable on the internet and...
