Can you go into your Mercedes ME Connect app and see if all your services are turned on?

Do you have a user profile setup, do you have to authenticate every time you get in the car? I will look into it tomorrow what else it could be.

so the way it's supposed to work is you create your profile, give it a name, i.e John Smith, and then every time you get in the car and bring up John Smith, it says: 'Hello John Smith'

Weird, if you have any sort of MBUX problems, they're supposed to update its software, ask for it.

Any news if the more recent produced C43's have had the contaminated engine coolant? I'm debating whether I should request a refund or replacement from MB.

Oh, I've already filed a final repair notice so I've started the lemon law process. It's been in the shop for a combined 2 months now. Other than the engine issues, I like the car so if MB has worked out their QC issues with the engines, I'm willing to take a replacement but if they haven't I'm probably going to push for a refund and go M340i like a lot of other people have.

Ah I see. Yeah I Havent heard if the issue was fixed on newer models... that would suck going to have to go to a m340i sorry mate. I test drove the m340i and though its a tiny bit quicker nothing else about it suits my needs or really interests me.

Yeah, I previously owned a 330i so I came from BMW but I really didn't like their implementation of iDrive 8 and given how everything is tied into the infotainment these days, I looked elsewhere. That said, they recently made the switch to iDrive 8.5 which from everything I've seen online addresses a number of my complaints. I still prefer the AMG's driving characteristics but I'm not willing to put up with constant engine problems.

Beautiful car. Any update on how the full front PPF has performed? Held up well? What about the other parts of the car that are not PPF'd?

Also, sweet wheels. How'd you get those suckers on? Pretty sure black wheels weren't offered factory, but could be wrong
