With a iPhone you can only display the text you can't reply (unless you use Siri as above) Another option is Apple Car Play if you have it, but that reads out your texts and you respond likewise - there's no text display, it's all voice command.

Service history only comes in to play for your regular punter. There are ways of detecting whether MB vehicles have had mileage adjustments using specific technology - as has previously been said, there is evidence left behind throughout the vehicle if you know how to interrogate it that will...

I'm on to my second S213 now. I've had two map updates in my first car, one I did manually, the other downloaded to the car on its own and one download in the second car that worked fine. It takes a while mind (like a couple of days sometimes) but I put that down to the 3G network. It does work...

I grew up in Lincoln and have only moved one county south since then. As other have said it's a big county from North Lincolnshire (Scunthorpe, Brigg) and NE Lincolnshire (Grimsby, Cleethorpes) through to Lincoln itself and market towns such as Louth and Horncastle to the east and Grantham and...

Didn't they used to flog motorhomes IIRC?

I'll ask around - see if anyone knows anything. It's on the southbound A1 in an old petrol station opposite the entrance to RAF Wittering, so if you're coming up the A1 from the south you need to go past it and come off at Stamford to head south.

Yes that's right - although mine were loaded on a SD card and stored in folders on the card.. My colleague has a 213 estate so I'll grab his keys and check the exact process for you... cheers

I can confirm you don't need the dual screen display to play video and I have done this on several occasions - mine were movies in MP4 that I had temporarily downloaded from Kodi. Unfortunately I've just jacked the car in for a CLS so don't have it anymore, so I guess my ability to help...

I'm not sure what version software you have, but first thing I do is save common functions to the favourites menu - like home and work addresses, screen display off, sound systems settings etc. Then I create a user profile and store/export other settings to it (memory seats, radio presets etc)...

Further update is that there is no update I'm afraid. You still can't read in this data and it doesn't look like there are plans for one to be able to.

It is I agree. I'll grab some shots and post them if I get time. Either way, it's clear your subscription seems not to be activated!

The LiveTraffic is a traffic service provided by TomTom so it's the same thing. If you have a connected vehicle (the little car transmitter icon is a clue) then you can activate/deactivate via Mercedes Me. Your car will be on the edge of when the CLS first came 'connected' so if it isn't then...

As I said, can you check your status in Mercedes Me connect? (online not from the car) Select the "Manage Mercedes Me connect" tile and you'll see a "Manage Services" tile Open this, select Navigation and check the status of Live Traffic Information. You would expect to see a green tick and...

OK let's debunk some 'fake news' (apparently this is the in-phrase at the moment) I have had a S213 (E220d Estate AMG Line) since the beginning of November. It has now 9k miles. 1) "you need to be speeding in the UK to use 9th gear" No you don't. The car will switch happily in to 9th...

Live Traffic is a subscription service so it will need to be linked to your vehicle. Can you check that this is activated for your vehicle via Mercedes Me/ Connect Me?
