    Designo Magno paint options

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to order a C300 Coupe in DEsigno Selinite Grey Magno and not getting anywhere due to all Magno paint options being 'restricted at the factory'. Does anyone have any insight into the status of these paint options? Surely they can't have run out of paint!!!

    M class clear out?

    With the GLC/GLE now widely available will there be a big campaign to discount the last few M class cars during September?

    2016 GLC Class Press Release (GLK)

    There's a difference to turnig down a sale and really trying. I only ever deal with main dealers sales guys in the last two weeks of September, and only if they are looking short of targets (a sneaky look in the sales office usually helps here!). So October delivery will mean little incentive to...

    2016 GLC Class Press Release (GLK)

    Would I be right to think that you can order now for delivery in October? Would I also be right in thinking dealers will not be interested in a keen price as it will not be possible to include in their crucial Q3 figures (needs to be registered by September 30th)? I assume I'm best waiting at...

    Numpty post about mixing tyre brands front and rear

    My e350 Coupe is 14 months old and my fronts had worn to "4-6-6-4" whilst the rears were a uniform 3 four weeks ago. I was thinking that I would simply replace the rears with new ones of identical make/spec etc form black circles the same as I did with my previous CLK. The tyres are all...

    Command ntg4 fitted into C250 Sport

    Comand NTG4 has a PCMCIA slot into which either an SD-Card reader or a PCMCIA memory card can be inserted. The ability to read SD-HC cards is dependant on the plugin reader not the Comand unit.

    Comand Firmware

    The car is 3 months old (62 plate) with a build date of April 2012. How would a dealer know it was retrofitted now that it has been 'coded in'? Not that I would mind paying a small fee. I'm just against paying what I consider a ridiculous amount for a firmware upgrade to fix a known bug. Why...

    Comand Firmware

    So I've got my Comand coded in which I assume means that since the SatNav is now on the 'datacard' it is now officially warranted and I can get a dealer to upgrade firmware? Assuming I can give a good enough reason.

    NTG4 and BT Audio

    I got the answer to this. I need to use 'external authorisation' to use BT Audio and manually Reauth every time I want to stream something. Apparently this is fixed by the latest firmware

    Same camera?

    So is distronic 'just' a case of adding an extra ECU? Same Camera?

    Same camera?

    Because its driving slower than your cruise control speed

    Same camera?

    I've got 'adaptive' high beam on my car which dips main beam if there is a light source in view. I assume this is controlled by a camera behind the rearview mirror. Is this the same camera for lane assist and reading speed signs? If so, is it 'just' a matter of adding control modules to add...

    Comand Firmware

    Am I right in thinking that the only way to get a firmware upgrade is via a delaer/independant with a STAR wotsit? You can't just pop a DVD in. I've upgraded maps on the NTG4 I retrofitted but the firmware is still showing 00.20.50_ECE for "NAVI ver." so clearly there is no firmware upgrade...
