The joy of owning R230 with just one cup holder

has to be this way as the 2 metal plates need to fit under the console

Never thought of this. Will have a look but the upper plate has to be very thin to fit between the central console and the carpet.

Hello all. My SL500 R230 has only one cup holder and I need to add another one. I tried a few holders from amazon but none was securely fit. A Facebook member in the US posted this which looks very nice but I wonder if you are aware of any website in the UK that sell it...

Thank you all. Life is too short to argue and the MB command is not the best navigation anyway. I will just forget about it. Many thanks again

2017 R172 comes with 3 years free map update. Dealer on more than one occasion said they updated the COMMAND map (NTG 5). However, it still shows V8 2017. On Searching the forum some dealers' software updater are not able to recognise the map version. Contacted MB complaint dept in Holland but...

E220 coupe, 2014 (C207), 40K miles, under MB extended warranty. Battery reading was low (11.7V with engine off and down to 10.2V during engine start). MB put a new battery. Now I noticed on driving, the voltage reading is always between 14.2-14.9V even if the car is driven for 1h with no...

DRL of Pre-facelift SL W231 is the old style straight small strip in a very low position. Is there any way you can activate the nice curved line on the headlight cluster to be operated with the DRL?

OK, any other way you can tell about the outside temp please? I cant see it on the main command screen. cant see it on the Multifunstion screen. I only see it briefly when I first put the key in but it disappears after the engine is switched on.

Still in learning curve for my new to me 2102 W231. I can't get the outside temperature to be permanently displayed. The manual says the "permanent display" function is under "instr Cluster" menu where I can switch between "temp" or "speedometer". But my "instr cluster" menu only allows me to...

Unfortunately, local dealer is completely a different group. Interestingly, supplying dealer is reluctant to give me a copy of multi points checklist and STAR diagnostic despite me asking more than once.

Thank you for the information. Dealership is over 450 miles return journey so can't go back to the same dealership group. But the car is sold with an approved Mercedes Benz UK warranty, so it should meet some standards. One of these standards would be any required updates and services were to...

Just bought 2102 W231 from MB dealership. I asked to update the COMMAND but the dealership wanted £150. Today I took delivery of the car and this evening I noticed the COMMAND Version is 2012 ie previous owner never asked for the free 3 years map updates. Car is under MB extended warranty. Is it...

Hello all, Buying a W231 SL 500. Just wondering if there is any mechanical/electronic updates or recalls to that model year (car registered June 2012) that I should make sure they were done. Did some online search but couldn't find any. Car is 31K miles with Full MB service history Thank you

Thank you for your helpful advice. I completely agree that approved used are not guarantee of good car. A few years ago I asked for my deposit back from the dealership as the W212 was in "unacceptable condition". I looked carfully over the car. There are few stone chips on the bonnet a couple of...

Thank you all. Will ask the dealer to do map update and see what they will say. The car has MB FSH and last service was a B service this year. New tyres and new front discs and pads. They also replaced one front caliper as the bleeding nipple was damaged. New wipers. Transmission fluid...
