AUX Port and video
I'm led to believe that the only way to play video, other than DVD, is through the AUX cable. Is that correct?
Side note...how can you tell the difference between base - luxury - sport?
I know I can't play it through my phone or by USB. Haven't tried the mini port yet. What file suffix with it play?




Also can tell the difference just by looking at it compared to other C300s. It sits lower, side skirts are different. I think the steering wheel is different, 3 star compared to 4.

For video, my 2013 had a port in the console. Is that what you mean when you say “mini port?” A media interface cable plugs into that port. The cable should have 3 leads. The yellow plug is for video. There is also a connector for old style iPods and another that I don’t remember. The car must be equipped with universal communication interface (518), and maybe navigation or Becker Map Pilot pre wiring.
That said, my RoadTop CarPlay unit has an HDMI port, but I don’t know what it is for.

Looks like you have all the options mine does for being the Sport model.
heres a photo of a listing for a 1014 C250 sport.
I totally forgot about the grill as mentioned above, sports is the 3 star and luxury no star. But I have read that people ordered the luxury model specifically for the softer suspension but like the Sport grill so they have them swapped out at the dealer when they get them, not sure how true or how much that happens. Also I bought a bought a set of used front struts off ebay before from a salvage yard, they listed the vin and when I looked everything up it said ti had the sports suspension but what I received was a set of luxury struts, had the 3 red dots on the springs and were about 1/2 taller than my sport struts, seller swears they were off that vehicle so i really dont know.
