Interpreting these displays...
Hi all:
I have found two displays in my Command system where I need help. I'm not sure how to interpret a couple of things. I've included pictures of the two displays.
On the first screen, can anyone explain what the % on the right is intended to mean?
On the second, is the voltage the battery voltage output, or the voltage being used to charge the battery (presumably from the alternator)?
I couldn't find explanations (or even descriptions) in the manuals.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Gas (Petrol) C300. Displays are found under "Vehicle" on the in-car menu.
I think there may be some other changes to Command software too. For example, setting Favourites for radio stations is pretty straightforward and easy. (I keep reading complaints about this). What I do is press and hold the joystick on the radio station I want to save and the Favourites list pops up. I press the joystick again and the radio station is saved to the next number on the list. Is that how the 2015's work?

I can't answer your other question but my guess it's the stiffness of the Airmatic suspension.

There's definitely an update available but it's up to the dealer whether they will apply it though. AFAIK the car needs to be hooked up to XENTRY and the computer for at least 2 hours so it's time consuming thing for some dealers to commit to. I've read mixed stories so far - some get it for free, others get quoted additional $'s and some don't want to do it at all.
I'm due for my 1st service next year and will try my luck to get an update then.

Power Meters are def fun to watch while driving! Its interesting as torque levels off abruptly at 384lb/ft around 1900/2000 RPM, but the car actually pulls MUCH harder after the plateau of the meter, which probably means the car is actually making way more than 384 torque

I did some checking on this when it first came up. Those pages are part of COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5 firmware (MY2016 onwards) - not AUDIO20. There's also a few other changes like being able to turn off the track pad etc.

No, the one I mentioned was for COMAND, not Audio20. The car modules have updates all the time however. From a service perspective, the diagnostic software (Xentry) will highlight if there's an update available, but that still doesn't mean you will know what's changed by doing so. There's no release notes AFAIK, so I doubt that most dealers even know what's what in terms of feature updates or fixes.

Your car is gorgeous. I love everything about it, except the wheels/rims. I agree with the others, they just don't seem to look right on that car. But....everyone has different tastes, and if you
like them, that is all that matters.
