yeat that's the thing petje.

it's in the menu where you have your
total distance, trip distance etc.

as you can see on the pic it's in the same
window as where it shows how many miles left before empty.

the bar is **** though, cos it's dfficult to see how much the car consumes.

just digits would have been better...


anyway, i did not change anything in the menu to get the bar....

Progress bars are displayed on the nav screen, just like loading new software in your computer.

My car was updated ten days ago because my backup camera could not be enabled and the update solved the problem. One difference I noticed right away was when using Sirius, when there is no signal (in the garage for example) the screen message now reads "No Service." This is in a Multimedia package.
I have a 2008 C350 but was one of the very first mfg in July 2007
took forever to get dealer to do firmware update last week
they gave me a C350 just like mine as a loaner. Even after the update I am still missing features like change the option of "rip to copy" so u can copy fro
the memory card. They r telling me it's the latest firmware
I'm also missing options like "tailgate patty" if fact even though the c300 and the c350 us the same mm package evertime I would ask them to do the firmware update they kept telling me it was only available for the c300

I have this bar on my 09 but i don't recall seeing any type of gear readout, probably because mine is 6SPD.
