Just picked up my 2010 C300 4matic :)
Well I just picked up my 2010 C300 4matic. It's the first 2010 C in Connecticut. Straight from Germany. Most of the rest of the 2010s will be coming from South Africa.
I picked it up this morning and drove it straight to my custom shop where i'm installing the laser interceptor (2 front, 2 rear), tints, and clear bra, and stealth valentine 1 install.
This car has every option in it, including reverse camera, keyless go, etc.
Two great features of this car, and i was shocked when i found out, were the Traffic feature as well as navigating the IPOD through the navigation screen. I've uploaded some pictures I took with my blackberry to show you guys!!
I don't believe that the Traffic needs to be used with Serius because I haven't activated my subscription yet, perhaps someone on here can enlighten me, as I only listen to my ipod and do not want to pay for the subscription once the free one expires.??
I also purchased the C63 grille and the dealer couldn't make it fit, it's slightly different. So i'm hoping my guy at the shop will be able to retrofit it. *crossing fingers*
Anyways i'll have the car back on Saturday with everything in it, i'm so excited, it was so smooth driving it. Will post more pictures then!!!! Enjoy!
Here is a link to the pictures as they are above 500k and huge, i didn't have time to shop them up in adobe.

Not sure what they changed but I was shocked, I really didn't think it was going to play the Ipod through the nav, i was looking at expensive alternatives to get that to work, and traffic was just an added bonus!
I paid extra for those rims as an option! The 2008 didn't have those rims as an option on the 4matic.

- those new mirrors are pretty muted compared to the '09 version... wonder what they will look like on a white.
- does the backup camera come on _immediately_ upon shifting to reverse and is very clear at night? One thing BMW needs to learn how to do correctly...
- traffic info would be great as I was told in another thread it didn't exist at all. Lifetime traffic like BMW, would be even better. Would be interested to find out if this is part of a package or if it comes standard with the nav.

I will take pictures of the key, steering wheel on saturday when I pick it back up. Backup camera comes immediately on when in reverse. I have not tried at night yet. There was no "traffic package" that I ordered nor did I activate sirius yet, so my gut tells me that it's part of the nav.
My friend also has an 08 with media package and he controls the ipod through his instrument cluster, not the nav screen.

^ read a few threads with people saying the dealer automatically activated their sirius for them... resulting in shorter-than-the-expected-6-month subscriptions (when you went to activate & use). Will be interesting to find out. Then again if you can't currently get the stations, then you know you don't have it.

looks great :)
nice! the mirrors look fantastic, plus the 18" rims that come standard now fit perfectly in the wheel wells in my opinion. looking forward to see the brand new paddle shifters + steering wheel 
**edit: oh, I thought 18" were now standard on 2010 models? perhaps on the C350 i think..

Why would'nt Mercedes Benz offer the UCI for Audio 20(Non MM).
I don't need the Nav nor real time traffic just the "IPOD CONTROL!!"
If they had the features(Ipod control through center console) on the 08's I would've definetly added the COMAND option.

Just came back from work, noticed that the 2010 cars have a light metallic graphite color on the center air outlet, HU and the panel below the HU.
Not shure I like it, looks out of place with the black buttons on a dark grey background on the HU.

Thanks for the posts! I don't think the steering wheel changed and I don't have the paddle shifters 
The rear camera location is to the right of the license plate frame on the trunk. I will upload more pictures tomorrow when i pick up the car! I can't wait!!
