More info for the AC smell, clock and power shortfall. Dropped the car off today and they gave more info. The evaporator drain pan is angled too far back causing a build up of condensation not allowing proper draining leading to the smell, a new pan or angle is also part of the fix.
They have reports of clocks (non command) not keeping good time and MB is working on a fix, the battery replacement I mentioned in the 209 section may not be nessc. hope to report more info soon.
They also have had quite a few cars that got the flash update for the sulfur smell and power short fall, they report owners are very satisfied.Although I had plenty of full throttle power the intermediate range without the kickdown was fair...I'll report on the results when she comes home on Fri.

*There is a CD update for the clock just now being released.*
