C300DE owners about? Just wondering if to get a thread going. I know there is the 350e thread, and I’ve got lots of useful info from it; but there are quite a few differences between the 2. Or, just have a combined thread maybe. ?

Quick, and probably daft question. Sometimes when I unlock the car, the windows open slightly. They initially open by about 1 inch, and then close slightly to about 1cm. I can’t fathom the precise conditions that cause this, and it doesn’t happen every time. Is this related to the pre entry...

Just a week old. Colour looks stunning in the sun. :)

Got a beautiful C300DE AMG Line Night Edition Premium the other day, replacing my C220 Sport. Seems there always has to be a small but annoying ‘issue’ with Mercs that always knocks the shine off slightly. In the 2015 220 it was the dog excrement Garmin nav. However the phone system worked...

Eyup. So I have ordered a C300DE AMG Line Premium. Today I have been informed that: “Owing to a model year change your car will now be speced as a C300DE AMG Line Night Edition Premium.....” As usual the MB website is garbage at trying to tie down the specifics of trim levels and packs etc. So...

After some help. Ordered a C300DE Estate AMG edition PP with tow bar. Order came back as they can’t factory fit a tow bar to PP because of the boot opening thing. I can drop to just the premium, but I don’t want to as I can’t then add the items back separately minus the boot opening. I want to...

I'm hoping there is someone on here who has a company hybrid car and has to pay back for private miles. Just ordered a C300DE. My company policy is to give us fuel cards, but, via the telematics we pay back the cost of private miles thereby avoiding BIK for fuel benefit. So, with the new...

:-( My 2015 W205 leaks when it rains. Water comes in from the bottom left of the windscreen. There are no holes, chips or cracks in the glass, so the seal must have gone somehow. Anyone else had this? Will be taking it in the MB, but I don't want fobbing off. If this has now started...

Anyone watching this? My god it's tense! Best thing I've watched in a while, I re-watched the last few of the first season before diving into the second. At ep7 now, and a few things are beginning to come together, but it definitely gets the grey matter spinning! I think that although it...

If you have recently updated your Garmin SD card via the download manager, it might be worth checking your traffic settings. All my subscriptions have gone, I now no longer get any traffic info. I have opened a case with MB and the dealership. It seems both MB and Garmin are under increasing...

Experienced electronic/mechanical field service engineers from the Galsgow/Edingburgh area on here looking for a new challenge? PM me, I have a cracking job for the right person. (I'm not a recruiter. Been a member on here for a while and just lost a member of my team I now need to...

2015 W205 Every so often a warning message appears as I get in the car on the info screen in the dash. "Attention. Please start engine. See owners manual" Except there is no reference to this in the manual. I have logged calls with MB and 3 dealers, no one has come back to me. The car...

Is the DAB radio in the W205 C Class just pants and a complete waste of space? It just does nothing. It hold a station for a few minutes, and then jumps to another while showing the same frequency. Pointless with a moving receiver IMO.

Due/booked my first service today for the sport estate 220. Have listed the following issues for investigation, anyone else seeing similar! Collision avoidance is insanely trigger happy. Predominantly when crawling in traffic, it will nail the car to the road! And has on multiple occasions...

Just had an email from Germany. 'Owing to considerable owner interest I can confirm we are looking at extended features that would allow owners to delete some built in points of interest, and add and display their own. I don't have a timescale for this update' :thumb:

Just so you are aware, I have tonight received written confirmation from Garmin that they were specifically told by Daimler Chrysler to remove/restrict as much customisation (Specifically personal POI's) from the MB software as possible. So we now have an utterly ridiculous situation where a...

Retro fit Command does anyone know? I have a new C Class with the Audio 20 at present. Thanks. :-)

Put my Garmin SD card into laptop tonight to see if it was up to date. It said update available and downloaded/installed it, but it's put it BACK to V2.3? Anyone else had this? Any ideas why? (Other than the torrent of dissatisfaction about the Garmin on most MB forums). ? Still...

Hello all. New member :thumb: Just got my lovely new C220 Sport Estate and loving it. Had a fixed towbar fitted today by a third party recommended by the dealer. He used the dedicated wiring kit and did a good neat job. He also coded the car, but is it right that the active park assist is...

Hi. Just got a C220 Sport Estate company car. Love it :-) :thumb:
