Where does everyone store his/her MB textbook packet?
Hi everyone.
I just took delivery of my C230K last Sat. after a three months wait. I love the car!!
Now the question, I couldn't find a good place to store my MB textbook packet
(manual). It doesn't fit in the glove box (due to cd changer?) nor does the packet fit on the door pocket. Although it does fit in the net in the passenger's side, I would prefer to use the net for something else...
Any suggestions?

I keep mine in the glove box. Really no probs, cuz I don't have the CD-changer. Wonder if it will fit in the "map-net" (the net attached to the right of the center-console, under the dash...)

The owners manual packet WILL fit in the glove compartment with a CD changer. Put it in the lower compartment, directly below the changer. It BARELY fits, but it fits. Just be a little bit forceful when closing, since it relies on the squishy material of the packet cover being compressed somewhat.

cullen is right. if you place it just right, you can quickly shut the door and it will fit... but i gave up. took out the mini-manual and the service/warranty booklets and put them in the glove compartment. i have the rest on my car manual shelf... in my library... ok, it's in a crate somewhere...

I keep mine next to my duffelbag of loose change. 
Actually, it is in the house. I put it in the car when I bring the car in for service and just leave it on the front seat. It is my subtle reminder to them to fill in the service booklet.

I have the CD changer and my owner's manual fits quite well with plenty of room around it.....on my coffee table, in the loft overlooking the great room in my house. No squishing necessary!

Mine fits perfectly under the first-aid kit, parallel to the rear fuse box, in the trunk. It is a perfect fit. Keeps my glove box empty for my various maps and compass (my low budget, yet highly effective, navigation system), car-diary (fill-ups, mileage, mpg, etc.), registration, sunglasses, etc.

The customer rep actually came up with that idea while briefing me on the car's features when I picked it up.
I don't want to wear out the little map net in the passenger foot well, and I don't like having to squish my glovebox shut - that's soo un-Mercedeslike. Keeping a lot of other stuff there - tire pressure gauge, kleenex box, etc.
