So the latest from my dealer is 'there's some update coming from Mercedes for this issue'. My contact says there's been a bulletin but he needs to check - but not sure if this is a firmware update to the parking system to enable bay parking and nothing else and get all the cars to at least the...

Can't figure this out.. where is the 8B8 Active Parking Assist reduction (UN R79). That seems to imply the 8B8 code has been updated then from 'complete deactivation' to 'reduction' since your car was built to when mine was built in March this year.

None of it? not even bay parking?

This would tally with what I've heard too - that it shouldn't be a total disable only a reduction. I think it's down to some lazy -ass coding in the factory to get the cars out fast.

As an update - I've had a licences workshop plug into my cars computer and have a look at the situation. GLC left factory March 2021 Premium Plus Pack What's really strange is that my car is 'coded' as a Coupe - and it's not of course. So looking into the parking areas - it looks like at the...

Yes because his car is 2017. The disabling is this year onwards basically and then it seems they dont have a clue what they're doing with it.

The parking disabling is on new cars- sold from March/April 2021 onwards.

Been digging a little deeper today. seems that MBUK have been disabling the full park assist functionality- but actually they are allowed to keep the bay parking part. Just not the parallel park part. However they are blanket turning off park assist totally. This may be incorrect information...

GLC 220d

That’s interesting- my sales / build on the VIN decoder too is showing Production Date 2021-03-26 So this would explain why it’s on but de activated after. Slightly more concerning is still how my dealer has absolutely no knowledge of the reason it’s not there - and he’s told me its...

It’s hypothetical. what sort of relationship do people have with their insurers? Take them out for dinner and drinks? Perhaps a spa day?

And how would they know? And how would they be able to see that park assist was the culprit over and above driver or human error or anything else? It makes no sense. If pre 2019 cara have the system and it’s ok to use and MB haven’t disabled it why is a 2021 car different. if I hadn’t changed...

So out of interest - is this something that could be re-coded back on by someone who codes MB cars? Is this a straight forward software thing do we think?

I think it's part of the same directive. I think it's because MB dont have sensors on the steering wheel or pedals to detect whether there is 'driver assistance' - so the driver always has the ability to stop the auto manoeuvre. However - if this has been in the directive for 2 years - why...

Hey all. I just took delivery of a 2021 GLC 220d with Premium Pack as a trade in for my 2018 GLC 220d. I've discovered the lack of park assist - I know its been debated - but it's totally disabled right? Even the parallel parking as I had on my old car? It's listed in my build document -but...

Exactly. On my vehicle offer it has this...no mention of anything disabled etc.

Has anyone heard if this could be enabled buy a coding thing? I only realised it was totally deactivated after driving around a car park for 45 mins - the car is a week old and all the Park Assist things are detailed on the sales order and build. Not even the parallel parking that I had on...
