Hi, I've had the above for just over a week now and really impressed.
Any tips or tricks?
Is there a way of getting speed cams on the satnav?
I have the DVD version
 
Glad you're enjoying the car.

No way to get proximity alerts on any MB satnav, I'm afraid.
 
is it the 7 speed box or the 5 speed?

pics please :)
 
Thanks. Doing research today I found a Road Angel App for the iPhone!
It's free (at the moment!) and it's working well so far today.
It's the 6 speed manual mate. It's 6 months old so already spec'd as it is.
It has driver assistance, sat nav, audio 50, obsidian black, privacy glass, avant-garde so all leather, bi xenon etc.
I was after the 5 series or A6 but when I saw this I bought it. I have upgraded all the interior lights to LED to match the little spots under the rear view mirror. Also some super bright LEDs in the rear plate. Put some Amber coloured ones in the front & rear footwells to match the ambient lighting
 
Sounds really nice especially with your lighting enhancements.

Welcome to the forum.

CHEERS
 
Thanks mate.
The LEDs look good, really sharp & clean looking.
I noticed the only original ones were under the rear view mirror. They are really crisp & White making the others look yellow.
So I tried a few LEDs off eBay & they look nice.
The rear plate ones look really bright against the glossy black paint.
Once I get the pics off my phone I'll post a few
 
*** I just refilled last night and averaged 42mpg - on the computer not by me.
It was my first tank coz I've only had it a few weeks. That included a few good blasts seeing what it was like. I travel 12 miles to work on an 'A' road and then it's just here & there dropping kids off etc. Cars done 5000 so it may get better when it loosens up. Not been on a decent run yet so not sure what I'll get on a motorway cruise.
