I can confirm you get it all with the car just need to activate it. Hotspot is kinda slow but as for as I can tell there is know data cap.

Excuse the noob here, but is there a private for sale thread? Just doing a feeler to see if anyone would want the OEM C450 Tires with 2400 miles on them?
My all seasons go on tomorrow and I don't mind sending the OEM tires off to someone who would put them to good use (sigh Michigan weather).

Yes, hotspot is very very slow. Turns out it's 3G, not 4g/LTE. At some point they'll upgrade, but I doubt we'll be able to upgrade our cars.

Question: With all this increase in boost, shouldn't there be increase in cooling?
I haven't seen any tuners come out with larger surface area intercoolers for even the existing MB turbo platforms.
I know on my BMW, there was a plethora of add ons for intercoolers, downpipes and exhaust.

I was given 14 days from having an allocation assigned to me for changing the build of the car. I know on day 10 I was able to change a couple options.

in my vivid racing review i touched on this. Basically the onboard computers are not actually reading and displaying real time data. Im still waiting on confirmation from an engineer on exactly how they get these numbers but even with the vivid racing tune these numbers actually appeared lower in the car when compared to the stock c450. The same thing is happening here. The true numbers will be available tomorrow when I dyno the car. This was more so you could hear the difference in the tune and to get something out as people have been asking for more info on the OE tune.

I was testing accident awareness, lane correction, autonomous braking nearly 20 YEARS AGO.

Agreed. Most likely an estimate that is based on throttle position and current RPM. i.e. the car knows that it should be generating a certain number of HP at full throttle at xxxx RPM so that is what is being displayed...

yeah, I'm not sure what is wrong with my build or dealer, but it apparently went RED basically at submit (which was about 11/7) and build is scheduled for 12/17 'ish, so not sure why they cannot make ANY changes, even something small. They messed up, but it's a little thing only, but still not sure why a very large west coast dealer would have this issue. Could be an end of year type thing with the factory or supply chain, or since it was an existing allocation that was altered, it couldn't be changed again for no reason.?

I think in most situations, the tech in our cars was designed 3 - 4 years in advance of release of the car. This would mean the 2015 C Class was likely designed in 2012 with what was commonly used in 2012. But in reality, how difficult would it be for them to install a new chip for LTE in newer built cars? Based on how slow the service is, I may not renew internet services beyond the initial 3 month free trial.

Not sure about inter coolers just yet however in January I have Meisterschaft exaust system being installed so we will have a review of that as soon as it's installed. Rest assured as soon as products become available we will add them to the site. We are building a great team to gather this information and make sure the data is correct.

I have just my phone paired via Bluetooth and my iPod with a cable.. That's it.. I just don't know what that #4 is referring to?

seems to be the display for the "active data medium"..so you could have BT Audio, AUX, the music register, etc., as you toggle through the different mediums activated it will show a different number.. somewhere, there is a list on the audio/media display and your BT Audio is probably listed as number #4

watching now, part of me is freaked out that it could shoot off the end of the dyno and out the door!.. ;-)
I know they know what they are doing, but you're a brave man to do this.
