If anyone is up this early --- I have an appointment in 2 1/2 hrs at my MB dealer to change my settings to netherlands settings. I have a feeling they'll try and charge me. I understand this is a 5min setting change, but they do have to hook it up to something. What is a fair price to pay them to set this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

neverrrrmind... they charged me 30mins worth of labor.
I had the instructions for Netherlands settings printed out and was going to give it to the master tech but he said "you want it to beep right? that's all I need to know"
so apparently he already knew exactly how to do it... I love it.

I am jealous! My stupid advisor wanted to charge me 1 hour of labor to do a 5 minute job! I would have paid $60 for it but not $110.
The link worked fine for me....I want the beep beep...

I don't think $60 is even reasonable for a 5 minute job. I would try to get them to include this in an A or B service when the computer is supposed to be connected to diagonose the car anyway.
And if i decide to do this I will make sure that I don't pay, because I asked my salesman to have them set it when I bought the car, and he said it wasn't possible--now I know better!

just tell them this.
"my alarm keeps going on and off for no apparent reason."
and they'll check your alarm, and possibly "fix" it by replacing it, and then they'll put the chirp on if you ask.
they replaced my alarm. but my alarm WAS going on and off. 3 in the morning!
