2012 C Class - Owners Manual? Detiled Photos? Videos?

I'm having a very hard time finding info on the 2012 W204. There is obviously good info on MBUSA and whatnot, but I cannot find the owners manual online nor can I find any good owner based reviews, photos, or videos. I want to see what the audio system without the multimedia option can and can't do. I'd also like to see the different screens on the new gauge cluster LCD. How is the voice command system (without multimedia)?

Anyone have any resources? Especially the owners manual....

Thanks!

What do you want to know?

I have a coupe, but it should be sufficient:

Voice command is good, but still kind of dodgy. The new navigation is fantastic, much better than previous years from both MB and BMW.

Thanks. These were JUST posted today to mbusa. I find that pretty disappointing that it took them so long. Havent the 2012s been shipping for nearly 2 months in the US?

Your car is very nice. I am trying to learn more about the non-comand head unit. Thinking about getting it that way and just installing the nav unit add-on into the glove box later on. It's a huge difference in cost. Also wondering if hill-start is standard or not? They no longer specify what is optional / standard in the owners manual, and much of the info on MBUSA is completely inaccurate. I especially like where they list the trunk space as XX.XX.

You can check the Brochure for what the options are.

The brochure and website are missing the dynamic handling package and rear sunshade, though. I'm not sure of what the dynamic handling package costs are, but the rear sunshade is like $410 + $250 special order charge.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Leased a 2012 C300 4Matic today.

All of the cars on the lot had COMAND. They are optioned out *completely* differently from what is listed on MBUSA. Their info is inaccurate at best.

It looks like for now it is inaccurate because the initial launch vehicles are different.

Everything on the lot looks like this option wise:

"S32 COMAND Single Disc Package, 7.0" Height $930"
"16P Germany priority unit / Launch"
"536 Sirius satellite radio $460"
"731 Burl Walnut Wood Trim $325"
"873 Heated front seats $750"

Memory seat package was available separately.

I'm not sure if this is nation wide or something specific that my dealer did. I was told that during the initial launch this is the only package available as far as COMAND is concerned and that you cannot order a C300 without COMAND or with the Multi-media package. Not sure if they were BSing me or not, but I was happy with this - It's much cheaper than the P1 + MM package combined. It is missing the HK speakers, memory seats, and reverse camera though.
