As an update to this issue, my car has just returned from a 12 day stint with MB where a technical case was opened up and they did their investigation. I got the car back last week Friday and all appeared to be fine. Today though, same issue. Glow plug light comes on normally when starting...

MB have said they've replaced the glow plug control unit and a 'loom' related to the control unit. To be honest, I think half the time they're just trying to bamboozle me with tech jargon. I don't know if they've changed any glow plugs, something to ask them when I next speak to them. It would...

I have a C250 diesel which I've had since new since April 2017. I've had a persistent problem since about May this year where the glow plug coil light comes on for a few minutes while the engine is running and then goes off. It also comes on normally when starting, goes off and then sometimes...

Yeah, I really wish there was an upgrade available to add Android Auto to this model. I'm sure the comand hardware could easily handle Android Auto, just needs the software to support it.

All makes sense now... If it happens again I'll turn off the a/c for a while and hopefully that'll sort out the problem. Thanks to everyone for the feedback

I have a W205 2017 C250 saloon. I did a 2hr drive each way this past weekend in the nice warm weather. For the first hour I had the temperature control set around 18oC and would sometimes set to 'LO' to give the cabin a quick blast of cool air. All other settings set to auto and A/C on. All...

On my 2017 C Class, pressing the lock button twice on the fob disables the keyless entry system (indicators will flash 4 times to confirm deactivation). I do this before going to bed so if ever a car thief tries to use a relay to boost the fob signal from inside the house and fool the car into...

I also have the C class PremPlus with Burmester, but I suspect this would apply to any car's bluetooth setup. On Android (no idea about iPhones), you set the maximum Bluetooth volume on the phone and the car's volume simply controls how much of that output you hear. A good analogy is a garden...

In my C Class (2017) I make sure that Bluetooth Tethering is enabled on my phone so the car can get an internet connection. I then use the MB Satnav and choose Nav - Destination - From Mercedes-Benz Apps - POI Download. There's a demonstration of this on YouTube showing sending a destination...

Yes, Agility mode is set to Comfort Mode. Options are Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual. The gearbox does the same thing Sport mode. In Sport+ it shifts to 1st earlier so no issue there. The thing is I'm not booting it, I'm driving normally. Maybe I have a heavy foot and it's just...

I have a W205 with a 9-speed auto gearbox. One real niggle I've noticed is when I am crawling along very slowly, say up to a junction, the gearbox will stay in 2nd gear, even when I am doing 1mph. When I get to the junction and then decide to accelerate, I'll start to move forward but then it...

I have the HUD on constantly and find it really useful to check my current speed and the speed limit for the area, particularly in London where there are cameras everywhere. Also tells you how far to your next navigation 'step', which I find useful on the motorway when you're taking the next...

Thanks ManiacGT, that works! I must say I am constantly disappointed with MB support on the technical side, such a shame because the car itself is brilliant but ultimately let down by the antiquated Comand system.

I recently took delivery of my new W205 C250 saloon and drove out to the airport for holiday, which meant driving a stretch of the M25 between the A3 and M23. A large portion of the motorway is concrete instead of the normal black tarmac. Boy oh boy do I get a lot of tyre roar on the concrete...

Yes, shows 14 days for me too, so I suspect you are correct. I tried getting an answer out of MB ME support for the same thing and their response was: This is definitely not the case because it doesn't change when I drive the car. I get the feeling that MB support and dealerships aren't very...

Quick question on the web app screenshot you gave gr1nch, have you figured out what the 'Updated x days ago' bit in the top right corner actually means? It seems to have no relevance to anything I do.

Has anyone seen any new services come online since the 1st of June? I've looked in Mercedes Benz apps in the car but nothing new there.

Sending a destination to your vehicle via MB Web App Hi gr1nch, not sure if you're aware, but if you have the Android Mercedes Me app installed on your phone (no idea about iOS sorry), in Google Maps you can 'share' a location with Mercedes Me. The Mercedes Me app then shows you the address...

Hi John, thanks for responding. I can say 'POI' or 'Points of Interest' on it's own without the suffix 'by name' and in this case I also get the category list. But this is slightly different from the functionality demonstrated in the YouTube clip where the lady specifically searches for...

I've recently bought a C Class W205 which I believe has Comand NTG5*2. I've starting to learn some of the MB voice commands, one of which is the navigation command: "POI by name" (You can also say "Points of interest by name") This command should allow you to do a keyword POI search, however...
