    SOS Not Ready

    So it should go green? Can't say I have ever seen mine go green. I don't get an error in centre display though?

    SOS Not Ready

    Am I correct in saying that for the emergency SOS function to work the SOS state should be 'SOS ready', in green in the telephone screen? Mine always says 'SOS not ready' in red? Car is a W205 with Comand...

    Internet connection in new C Class with iPhone and LED light settings

    I would check your APN settings. I had a similar issue when ported from O2 and it turned out to be the Mobile Data settings were still set to O2. I'm also aware that 3 have been pushing out new carrier settings (to do with 4G voice) so it could be something has gone wrong there?

    Drove in Eco for first time and saw this!!

    Done close to 6000 miles in my W205 and I haven't spotted this. While not all of the 6000 miles have been in Eco mode I'm sure a lot have but is it key that the car is in Eco mode for the Glide to become operative?

    Help! Curbed W205 Front Bumper (Chrome lip)

    I haven't done it yet, sorry. I got as far as getting under and looking but failed to see an obvious way of changing them. If anyone knows how I would be interested in knowing too :-)

    C350e anyone considering one?

    I'm on the 3 network and the online functions work - if it's any consolation I used it once and IMO it's a bit of a gimmick. Only thing of real use is the ability to send destinations to the car but even then I find it's easier to just enter the destination when you're in the car.

    Trun off multifunction display easily for night driving (w205)?

    You can dim the centre Comand screen independently - I set that fairly low when the instrument cluster is set high and then adjusting the instrument cluster using the adjustment near the light switch as required between day / night driving.

    Is it just me or......

    Mine is fine, not given any problems such as those you describe. I live in greater London so I would expect good digital signal but it was fine even on a trip as far west in Wales as you can go.

    Help! Curbed W205 Front Bumper (Chrome lip)

    Gone and curbed the chrome strip at the bottom of the front bumper :doh: There are 3 parts to it (left, centre and right) - anyone actually know what they are called as I'm struggling to find the replacements online. If anyone has part numbers I would be very grateful :thumb: They look...

    W205 C63S 'things'

    I use a 160Gb iPod and I experience the same issues you're mentioning. Even if you play through an album the track name doesn't change when the track being played does. It is particularly noticeable when skipping back or forward to other tracks. Like you, I'm going to demand a new car every year...

    Good long Run

    My take on the eco stats are that if you drive sensibly you gain extra miles. So if you had continued to drive at that level you would have gained that many miles. Obviously you couldn't continue at the same accelerator / breaking level and therefore the value adjusted accordingly.

    C350e anyone considering one?

    I too have given this a try... Hello said the friendly voice at the other end. How can I help. Nothing in particular I said just checking what these buttons do. Little chat later he finishes with, "just don't press the SOS one, it works like this one does but with more severe consequences :-)

    C350e anyone considering one?

    If it's like all other W205's then sadly it doesn't. Switching however is really easy. My W205 defaults to Comfort.

    Agreed - rules out being able to use any other colour than amber imo.

    C Class W205: Next Audio Track When in Nav Mode

    You can slide two fingers forwards on the touch pad - that brings up the track list (or stations - depending on what you're listening to). Then slide one finger left or right... :-)

    Portable WiFi

    Had my W205 (MY16) with Comand for a day and I have gone through every menu I can can see but I can't find where you can specify a connection to WiFi? I was hoping to do a similar thing by using a personal MiFi device as my phone is a restricted work phone :-( I can connect the phone using...

    C350e anyone considering one?

    I'm not sure where the cars from Germany enter the UK (Harwich?) but I do 30 miles on the M25 twice a day (Kent - Surrey). Noticed a huge increase in car transporters carrying shiny new Mercs this week. While looking out for a car with the same exterior spec than the one I'm waiting for I have...
