Things that you never got for your c300

So just a simple discussion to break away from [else].

Is there anything that you guys ever wanted for the c300 but they didn't make?

I know one thing that everyone wanted but never got was non carbon fiber aftermarket diffusers and lips. The few that were out were rather 'lack luster.'

Rear climate control (European models only)

Convenience setting: Weather sensitive sunroof and windows(if left open, automatically closes when water is detected) (European models only)

Forced induction

Real leather seats, not MB-Tex or Pleather

Convenience setting: Seat moving back when exiting the vehicle, why would they only have the steering wheel go up?

Louder sound system when using the Auxillary. Bass heavy songs are very quiet in order to compensate for bass distortion.

I would list more but I figured I would list the ones that came off the top of my head.

I would love to code these since it uses the windshield rain sensor that the car already has. Maybe someone has done it already? Funk?

To me, the lack of lines and sensors for the backup camera is inexcusable. Cars much less expensive than ours have stuff like that. How can you have a camera without lines? As much as I love my car in the year+ I have had it, that still bugs the **** out of me every time I am in reverse.

If that is the case I have to look into this. I coded off the rear fog lamps when I performed an OEM 2012 LED tail light retrofit.


Even though it uses the windshield rain sensor, it will close the sunroof? There is not a separate sensor for the sunroof?

I've got couple.

1. sunglass holder -> well.. there is OE part you can buy to replace driver side grab handle but it should have been available at first place.
2. cooling seat -> will never be offered in C class.

From what I've read, when the windshield rain sensor senses rain, it will close the sunroof.

I 100% agree with this. I want the lines also. Why remove it entirely, at least an on/off menu button at least.

It's available on the W205 with the full leather interior.

As for things I wish my W204 had..

1. I wish the US laws didn't limit Mercedes ILS so the lighting package could do even more.

2. I wish I could find out if features can be coded in as they were on my W203. I can't find any information on this.

3. I wish the car would chirp like the older C instead of using the horn - and that we had an "OFF" position for the headlights.

1. Possibly unlockable with variant coding, unless actual hardware is missing

2. Depends on the feature, but generally yes

3. It could be possible to swap out the "new" headlight switch without the off button for an older style with one. The option to disable daytime running lights would have to be activated to get it working properly, though. As for the horn, no idea
