Some questions:
1. My new 2021 C300 sedan uses navigation through my iPhone, but only when connected. I can't find any way in the owner's manual to display a compass to show the direction I'm driving. Any suggestions?
2. The hands-free access to open and close the drunk with a swipe of the foot does not impress me. When I go to the car wash, the trunk can open suddenly, per the owner's manual. Any way to disable the hands-free access to open and close the trunk?
3. The key-less go, by touching the door handle locks and unlocks the doors and moves the side mirrors repeatedly when I wash the car. I tried double pressing the lock button on the key to disable this function, but the key-less go is still activated. How do I disable the key-less go?
Thanks!

You are posting in the wrong section. The 2021 is a W205 not a W206. The latter is the upcoming new generation.

1. If the car doesn't have the Multimedia package, which adds factory navigation or the SD card entry level navigation, then Apple CarPlay is your only option. There are no navigation functions otherwise.
2. The hands-free trunk access only works if you are standing behind the car with the key fob on your person. If the key fob is not nearby or deactivated by pressing the lock button twice, it won't suddenly open.
3. Don't keep the fob on you when washing the car (same as 2). The water splashing on the door handle and the small electric current that generates is enough to trigger lock/unlock. However, I'm not clear on the second part. If you press the lock button twice then the fob is deactivated and this should not happen anymore. You can also leave the key inside of the car.
