Since I don't have the C yet, I had to look at the Command Manual (which I downloaded a while ago) and it appears I misspoke. In my 2012 E350 Coupe with Command, to get the weather band all you have to do is press the radio button to cycle from Radio to Satellite to Weather.

In the newer Command systems, you have the weather app and Sirius Weather, but it doesn't appear MB includes the weather band in the radio any longer.

I don't know how it works in non-Command.

You have Command, right?

In phone/(global icon), you push the control button again, there's an option called weather or etc.

That is, I believe, an app available through the MB Intenet extra cost option. I tried it during the free trial period, and it is not an actual weather band.

I don't think there is a weather band anymore, just Sirius or apps.

All these years, I've been driving MB cars which did have weather band radios and I can't remember the last time I actually listened to it. I pretty much get my weather from WeatherBug on my iPhone anyway.
