Finally here!!

Just picked up my car last night.. What a beauty. love it so far. Wife is impressed as well.

White with red interior. looks gorgeous.

Player around with the electronics a bit last night.
Didn't have the iphone cables in the center console. The standard iphone cable doesn't work. Chasing the dealer for the cables - hopefully the cable they supply work

Bluetooth works fine - but having difficulty with the voice dialing . it doesn't get the names at all. siri is a lot better than this!

Will take for a long drive soon..

Also post some pictures as soon as i can..

Nope... there is one sold overseas (I'm not sure about availability in Canada) that replaced the driver side handle grip (on the ceiling of the car). I've not see any way to source them here in the US.

Maybe someone can organize a group buy?



Here is the thread I saw... https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...s-storage.html

Try costomizing your voice in the media center system options. You should be good to go after that. I had the same prob lems as you, after the system learned my voice, everything was good

it's not you trust me the voice command system just doesn't work very well. it's particularly frustrating when using the nav to attempt to enter a destination via the voice activation. it doesn't recognize what you say. time and time again, it got it wrong. I actually had 4 people in the car, they all tried it. and nobody could get it to work. then the text entry is disabled while you drive , in the end we ended up eentually finding the place just by driving around before any of us could manage to enter a destination without pulling of the highway and stopping.
