Warranty coverage

The chrome trim around the cup holders is flaking off would this be covered?
seems really cheap to be coming from mercedes

And also the sound from playing music from ipod/iphone through the aux is not very loud. I heard the dealership can give you an amp for free?

Any and all help is appreciated

In regards to the AUX, there is an amp *IF* you have the iPod kit.

Otherwise, there is nothing to make it louder. I wrote MBUSA about this multiple times. They don't care. THey say it's normal.

If anyone finds out how hard it is to replace that trim, let me know. Sounds like something that might happen to us all someday.
