What happened to the coin holder on the '05?
Kind of inconvenient. No coin holder or am I missing something.
A shiny metal ashtray in the dash of no use and no coin holder.

I guess I could cut out a piece of cloth, leather, or rubber, and place it in the bottom so it wouldn't do that.

I don't find the coin holder useful as it is not sized for the coins that we have (the holes are too big). As a result, the coins rattle a lot in the holder and I find this very irritating.
We also don't use coins very much anymore in the car nowadays as most carparks have gone electronic with charges deducted automatically from cash cards which we are required to have for electronic road pricing.

http://www.mercedes-benz.de/
Click on Pkw, Betriebsanleitungen interaktive, and then select one of the C-Klasse models. You can select English from the tool bar on top.
The page is under "In depth" - "Practical Advice" - "Opening/closing in an emergency" - page 6
Cheers!

There is "Start", "English"...
Select "English".

The following online version of the Owner's Manual in both language versions only applies to C-Class vehicle models which are intended for the German market and which therefore comply with German regulations.
Maybe the ones in Singapore are the same as in Germany.

We still have parking meters, toll bridges etc.
Smoking in cars is really passé no?
I removed the dash ashtray and put it away with the other bits of cars that I don't use.
I found some felt with a peel off sticky backing and I fashioned a bottom piece and 4 parts for the sides. Stuck them on and voilà, the coins may tinkle a bit if they touch but no noises against the sides and bottom where the major annoyance would be.

I found the felt at a fabric store, it sells in squares for a couple of $.
I had some velcro strips around which had a sticky back. I used the rough face strip on the bottom and the felt piece sticks to it, and the smooth (felt like) strip glued to the sides. It's all black and blends in nice.
I have done this before when I lined the inside of my Miata ash try. It lasts a couple of years and than needs to be replaced.
