Thank you for the information. I've been trying to find that display to no avail. Your answer accounts for why my attempts were unsuccessful.

I just found out I can stream pandora from my iPhone via Bluetooth. Maybe because I drive with the windows down and radio off most of the time.

Yesterday I did this by accident actually. Open your trunk, look down toward the front of the floor cover and see the recessed plastic handle piece on there. Ok open it up so you can see inside the spare tire / battery compartment. That plastic piece opens and has a plastic fold out hinge on it that will grab the trunk lid rubber trim and hold the cover up while you are working in the lower compartment getting out spare, accessing battery, etc...

Hmm, I don't think I knew that. Nice find!

while in gear, while on the brakes push the brake a little harder and it will say hold on the cluster, you can then take your foot of the brake and it will hold you there til you press the gas.

My 2011 c63 doesn't seem to want to do this. I have tried and tried. My 2012 S550 does this and says hold on the dash. Is this a facelift so 2012 and on feature on the C63?

My '09 has the hill assist, but no dash message.

by far the most used feature for me on this car!

I definitely learned something new with the hill assist.

I've been reading so much about the car in anticipation of its arrival I'll be surprised, but still excited, to learn of anything else. I've read that the car senses when the brake pads are wet and will gently apply them to dry them (maybe that was for the wife's GLK). All I know is MBs come with a lot of hidden technologies as passive safety features.

I read that too, but how do we know we have that feature?

edwardsflight33

On mbusa.com it has it under the "Adaptive braking technology," which is standard on the C63 (2013 and 14 atleast).

Only those MYs?

putting it in sport mode, switching to s+, hitting the break, and putting it in RS.

edwardsflight33

Not sure. I only know about those MYs because mbusa had the 2013s up on their website when I started shopping a couple months ago. Haven't done any more leg work to find out when they started equipping it as standard.

For older models, 2011 and back?, if you have the Ipod integration, you also have that secret audio input to tap into hidden in that access point to the right of the glove compartment.

I bought a 6' extension cable and leave it rolled up in the storage net by the floor when not in use.

CoolBDPhenom03

Yes, this is probably the best secret. It's also a legit secret

I like that fact it times your trips automatically each time you start the car. Great to see how fast you are getting home each day on your commute!

Lock your doors, leave your trunk open.
Throw your keys in the trunk and try to close it.

it will pop open each time
