    No Android Auto on W205 facelift

    I'm sure it'll just be coding, since the hardware is already there on MY2019 cars 👍

    You'd need some form of dongle/adaptor that allows Screen Mirroring through CarPlay (so you need Carplay too), As above, it may not be entirely legal ;)

    W205 (Pre-Facelift) CarPlay Activation

    I had CarPlay activated by Genenostics. Great service, was done remotely. Mine's a FL, but it sounds like yours might be a late enough build for activation too given the existence of the required "CarPlay-specific" USB port. Give them a shout. I ummed and ahhed about having it done for a while...

    No Android Auto on W205 facelift

    try genenostics dot co dot uk - They can do it remotely apparently. I intend to go ahead with it but just haven't got round to doing it.

    Can anyone tell me if a 68 reg C200 AMG EQ Boost has ambient lighting or not please?

    ...what I mean is the FL C200 (1.5 EQ Boost) only has ambient lighting if it's a Premium Plus version

    Bike racks

    Roof-mounted works well on the C Class, especially if on the lower AMG suspension 👍 I get 3 bikes up there no problem, and it’s quick to mount/dismount without the need for steps.

    CarPlay help / confused

    Is yours a facelift version? If so you have 3 choices: 1) Command Online look to have cracked this, and can install CarPlay in an "official" way. You need to pay them a visit in Surrey for the work to be done 2) Another company I've found (GeneNostics) can do it remotely (not sure about the...

    Heater/Demister - Power from 48v EQ?

    Yeah I thought it was a long shot....and there haven't been any opportunities to test how quickly an icy windscreen clears due to WFH!

    Heater/Demister - Power from 48v EQ?

    Yeah, the battery being used to provide instant heat, as opposed to waiting for the engine to warm up.

    Heater/Demister - Power from 48v EQ?

    Anyone know if the very mild hybrid 48v motor in the 1.5 petrol C200 (amongst others) aids the windscreen heater/demister, or is all the heat coming from the engine? Thanks,

    Can't decide on main dealer service or not

    Thanks everyone....should have seen that Sticky at the top of the page! I've decided to take on a service plan over 3 years :)

    Can't decide on main dealer service or not

    Looks reasonable actually......about £480/year

    Can't decide on main dealer service or not

    Thanks both...the independent does look good actually. The only issue I have is that it's not just MB, it's essentially all German marques. I was just thinking, do SD card maps get updated or anything like that if serviced at MB? Or Live Traffic etc? On the Spark Plugs front...I've actually...

    Can't decide on main dealer service or not

    MY 2019 C200 is due an "A" service, and when I go through the online booking system, it's recommended that spark plugs are done at this juncture, taking the cost up to around the £700 mark. I can't help but that think it's a bit early for plugs....I wondered if anyone had some insight here...

    CarPlay help / confused

    My understanding is that, for MY2019 cars (non-Command), the legitimate route isn't possible....cracking the firmware is the only option.

    CarPlay help / confused

    Hi Eddie, I'm thinking of doing the same with my 68 plate W205 (MY2019). All still working well? Assume it was Vlad (on eBay) you bought the tool from?

    Mercedes Service or Garage?

    Is there anything else to consider regards MB Dealership vs Specialist Independent? My C200 will be due it's 3rd service on Jan, coinciding with the end of manufacturer's warranty. I'm torn between dealer and specialist. I can do without the Mobilo, but what about stuff like map updates/Live...
