    Mercedes Car Tracking - Privacy Invasion

    I will extend my query to: what is logged and, if too much (in my own opinion) can it be entirely disabled? My concern is not insurance company monitoring but rather the selling of my personal data - anonymised or not. Some people don't mind spam, junk mail and profiling. I work with Big...

    Mercedes Car Tracking - Privacy Invasion

    Due to profession I am fully aware of the importance of privacy. Your post is akin to the deranged ramblings of those who state "if you are innocent, you have nothing to fear!" which can be applied to internet use, CCTV cameras so beloved of some councils and such like. I will dignify your post...

    Mercedes Car Tracking - Privacy Invasion

    Good afternoon. BMW ConnectedDrive, VW's CarNet; does Mercedes-Benz have units within the vehicle which track and upload data via 3G/4G to their business? If so, I would like this disabled. I recall a 'terms and conditions' privacy acceptance when using the 'app' application functionality...

    Warranty Claim - Please Help (2013 E-Class Coupe)

    ECU, parking sensor module and distance warning module software updates appear to have resolved the issues. The distance warning does sound activate, but rather than beeping fervently now just emits a warning light in, what I would consider to be, correct situations. Not sure what else was...

    E Class Coupe - Parking sensors intermittent fault

    The software updates performed on the ECU and parking-sensor module, as well as the distance warning module, appear to have entirely fixed the parking sensor parking issue. The distance warning still sounds at times but whereas it is every 5 minutes or so now, depending on the busy-ness of...

    E Class Coupe - Parking sensors intermittent fault

    That's exactly the problem I have. Do you have the distance warning issue too, in which on the motorway the sound will alarm almost always when driving past anything which may be on the left lane to your car, with nothing in front of you? It's irritating and requires disabling to allow a...

    Warranty Claim - Please Help (2013 E-Class Coupe)

    Hi Oxon. That's interesting, thanks. Mine goes in tomorrow for diagnosis on a few items. I was wondering whether it is normal to ask for other items to be updated? ie: Maps, any ECU updates, etc?

    E Class Coupe - Parking sensors intermittent fault

    With mine, there are either zero parking-assistance lights on the units or they work as normal, no in-between. Suspect an ECU/controller issue, rather than a failed sensor, but hopefully a STAR hookup tomorrow will detail the reason.

    Warranty Claim - Please Help (2013 E-Class Coupe)

    Hi all. I have a facelift late 2013 E-Class Coupe E220 diesel in the UK. There are three faults I am currently aware of but would like to understand if there is other work I should be asking to be fixed under warranty. Main faults: 1) Distance Warning will alarm on the motorway almost...

    E Class Coupe - Parking sensors intermittent fault

    I have the same issue. The parking system will either work normally or have zero lights on at all, depending on what it chooses to do after starting the car with the key. Changing gear (automatic), neutral - whatever - makes no difference. Only switching the car off and on again *may* get it...
