C350e owners club

Anyone have pics of selenite grey with 17" wheels?
Thanks
 
Is it possible to get the sat nav in my c350e to use google maps / sat nav somehow from my phone??

The one it has come with the directions to get to work and home are taking me all around the world so I have no faith in it, when I will have to use it for where I dont know where I am going? I would prefer google maps which is very accurate.

James.
 
No. You are stuck with it I'm afraid. Have you tried a different setting in the nav?
It might be set on economical or shortest. Try it on Dynamic.
 
No probs... Shocking that a £40k car has a sat nav in which is like something from the 90's.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Had a nervous few hours today when my car went in for its second service at 25K miles.

I'd removed my tuning chip but decided to leave the extra wiring that connects it to the loom, couldn't really see it except for a blue label on one of the cable protectors that proudly stated "Boost"

All was well except need a new motor as my boot now opens mostly without going to full height.

Did you notice the drop in performance after you removed the chip?

Yes I noticed a difference when in eco mode on the motorway, I've not tried it in Sports + and lets face it it's insanely fast without anyway in that mode.

Definitely could feel the difference when relying just on engine performance.

Will drive it for a couple of days without the chip in different conditions before I refit it.
 
Back to Web App news.

First I received this:

"I have received feedback that HQ executed a remote reset on the communication module of your vehicle. Please check your account if the consumption values on the Mercedes me website match the ones in the vehicle now."

Obviously it didn't make a difference, so I let them know. This was their reply:

"Thank you for your patience.

Our development team confirmed the issue regarding the incorrect mpg values in the app. Unfortunately due to some technical restrictions until now they could not provide a solution for it.

They are working on a permanent solution but it can take some time. Until the fix is released, please accept my apologies for this inconvenience."

So there you go. Car can read up to 99.9. App can read up to 999.9. Website... 80.

Yup....same reply I got....what technical restrictions mean the webpage cannot display data that is clearly there!?

On another note.....it's getting cold out there.....my electric miles are dropping! Mr route to work today was 20.5 miles with 13 of these being engine off. My norm is 15-17 depending on traffic. I did have the CC on too but even when it's off i'm noting a slight decline.
 
Yes, I've noticed range has dipped too. Headlights on, heated seats, heated rear window probably don't help either.
 
Cold weather is back. I saw a big pickup in general mpg over the summer and electric on hot days. Hopefully it won't drop back down as far as when I got it...

Hopefully I can help...

The data that is being sent from the Mercedes website to the web app looks like this:


"liquidconsumptionreset": {
"value": 6.6,
"ts": 1475125942,
"status": 0
},
"liquidconsumptionstart": {
"value": 1.6,
"ts": 1475239280,
"status": 0
},

The TS is a TimeStamp - and the value is litres per 100 km.

Their code running in the browser to convert to mpg, looks something like this:

MILES_TO_KILOMETER:1.609344
KILOMETER_TO_MILES:.621371192
LITER_PER_100KM_TO_MILES_PER_GALLON_UK:282.4809363
LITER_PER_100KM_TO_MILES_PER_GALLON_US:235.2145833

MPG_Value = 282.48 / value

so for me... 1.6 litres/100km = 176.55 (the value it shows in the app is 176.6)


Then there is this curious piece of code:

b.constant("USER_CONSUMPTION_COMBUSTION",
{L_100KM:{// [l/100km] id:1,value:"UNIT_METRIC_CONSUMPTION_COMBUSTION_LONG",upperLimit:20},
MPG_UK:{// [mpg] (UK) id:2,value:"UNIT_IMPERIAL_CONSUMPTION_COMBUSTION_UK",upperLimit:80},
MPG_US:{// [mpg] (US) id:3,value:"UNIT_IMPERIAL_CONSUMPTION_COMBUSTION_US",upperLimit:80},
KM_L:{// [km/l] id:4,value:"UNIT_METRIC_CONSUMPTION_COMBUSTION_PER_LITER",upperLimit:40}}),

The important bit being: "upperLimit:80"

So... I would expect if they changed it from upperLimit:80 to upperLimit:999 then all would be well with the world

It seems an 'easy' fix - however I don't know what the knock on impact of changing this value is without full access to their code. But it seems pretty black and white.

Hope this helps :-)

I haven't passed this onto Mercedes - so feel free to send it across on my behalf, and PM me if they want me to send more details of how to fix their system

It's possible that the current displayed field doesn't support three characters before the decimal place, but worst case is surely 10 minutes to change it to 99.9 and a few hours to test it on all the browsers and screens they support. Maybe we'll see this next year? [emoji34]

Wow. Impressive hacking skills!
I think if I forwarded that to Customer Services their heads might explode.
 
Has anybody had any issues activating the pre-entry climate control via the web app?

I have the web app as a home page favourite on my iPad and last 2 days I have set it the night before but it hasn't kicked in.

First world problems but annoying as hell!

I did a timed charge with climate control at departure time on Saturday and it was toasty. Youngest son is now in love with heated seats.

I did pre-entry climate control in the summer as well. No problems with that either.

I did have some intermittent issues with it timing out before it had sent the instruction. I put it down to the car having a poor signal - mobile phone signal is patchy where we live. I find the unlock with the key and leave for 5mins it is more straightforward.
