I have no idea if this is related, but I had the same problem in my Vauxhall Insignia a couple of years back. Turned out to be a leaking heater matrix which caused the carpet in the footwells to be constantly damp. I'm new to Mercedes, though, so this might be totally irrelevant as I'm sure...

Maybe my terminology was incorrect - but when I purchased the car I assumed it had parking sensors. So, if I park near to a wall, it would beep the closer I got to the wall to warn me. My car doesn't have/do that. (Although, I have to say it does have an awesome rear parking camera which comes...

Ahhh - that's interesting information. Thanks, Richard. I didn't realise Mercedes dealers wouldn't normally want to do this (it's a good safety/enhancement feature after all). Anyhow, I will ping an email to the address provided. Best regards.

Hi there - I recently bought an A Class A160 AMG Line (W176). I mistakenly thought the things that looked like sensors at the front were parking sensors. Seems like I was wrong, there, as they appear to be proximity sensors that flash up a warning on the dash if I’m too close to the car in...

Absolutely no taking the Michael! In fact, really grateful for your assistance. CarPlay is so much nicer than the built in system.

OMG!!! Mr. B - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm not very techie - and I thought that CarPlay would connect over Bluetooth after connecting my iPhone :rolleyes: After watching the video you linked to, and doing some Googling, I realised that I need to physically connect the phone via the lightning...

Hi there, So I purchased a 2018 Jupiter Red A160 AMG Line yesterday. Looks amazing, very happy with it. I did a VIN search on it a few days ago prior to purchase and saw this in the report: 15U PRE-INSTALLATION SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION MB LINK 16U SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION APPLE CARPLAY 17U...
