I just picked up a 08 C350 7G, Command P2 with the opt 18's. I have had a few mercs and some things I am wondering.

1. I have command but I dont have the ipod integration kit, and I really could care less since its got aux in and I have an iphone with bluetooth.

That said I was told by my buddy they made an ipod+ kit for these cars and I would be able to stream music audio over blue tooth. I work at the dealer and they said that there is only one ipod kit and that no it doesnt add any more blue tooth capability.

So...is there a way to stream audio over bluetooth in a late 08 with command, and is there a updated command interface? I have access to star and all the mb computers, working at the dealer, techs didnt know if it was possible (only asked one) but didnt know if some one had tried it.

2. Is there a flash for the C350 and whats reccomended, I read a thread about a mythical flash for these cars that gives like 50hp and sounds like bs on these cars being N/A so I wanted real numbers and where it can be had.

3. Tunnel mode? Does this still exist in these W204 my w203 had it and I loved it but I held down the re circ button in many situations with the a/c on and it didnt do a thing. (all auto down works so no synching issues)

4. Auto tilt reverse mirror? Is this only if you got full leather pac with the memory seats? The C350 W203 without memory seats had auto tilt reverse mirror, can I program this additon in star?

5. My 18's are the optional polish alum AMG ones that came stock, but are they any diff beyond the filled in spoke on the real AMG 18's? I have access to real AMGs but dunno if I wanna waste the time to swap them if there not any lighter/wider

6. How do you reset the auto tranny adaptaions? Do I have to disconnect the battery to do it or is there a easier process?

Thanks all, glad to be back in a C class, esp a fast one this time.

The Bluetooth streaming comes from the media interface plus (MIPs) kit. It is $350 but only works on 10+ models I believe.

 

09+ my mistake

 

no, '10+ models. THere is no way for you to get bt streaming. no auto tilt down in reverse, not even if you got the leather package with memory seats. no tunnel mode.

Resetting the tranny is done by doing these steps: The car will feel much peppier after and it will hold the gears longer in S mode.

1. Turn the igniiton key to the "on" position which is just before you crank the engine to start.

2. Press the accelerator to the floor and hold for 5 seconds.

3. Then turn the key to the off position but do not remove the key, then release the accelerator.

4. Wait at least 2 minutes, the ECU is then reset. Do not open door to get out

5. ECU is now reset

 

The PDF guide to the MIPs says for w204s it's any model 09+?

it is incorrect typo. If you go to another MBusa pdf, it has it correct.

3. Tunnel mode seems to be gone, i havent been able to get it to work on mine either

4. I have it on mine with only P1.....

 

Sorry for hijacking.. why do you need to reset the tranny?

 

The transmission adapts to your driving needs. Seeing as how most people dont floor the vehicle, the transmission computer thinks that it can just shift slowly. Eventually, it gets to the point where when you push your foot down, it takes 1-2 seconds before doing anything. If you reset it, it will be like when it came from factory and usually the transmission behavior is a lot sportier. I find mine to be much better after resetting.

 

I wonder if its not on mine because its an 08?
