2012 e350 manuals (US) are wrong

My dealer just received their first 2012 e350. We opened the manuals because I need an updated manual for my 2011 e350 with the new comand 4.5 system.

Sadly, Mercedes has updated the manual numbers...they now show 2012A rather than 2011 B....but they are for comand 4.0, not 4.5 which is installed in the cars.

Someone in Mercedes US really dropped the ball on this because comand 4.5 has been known for months....and there are some new commands in 4.5.

NTG 4.5 wasn't supposed to make it into the E until facelift. It was pulled ahead unexpectedly due to supply issues. Try getting ahold of the COMAND manual from a 2012 SLK - it has NTG 4.5 as well and most of the features apply to both cars.

Yeah, 2014 MY.

So 2012's are at Dealers already? Looks like I gotta make a visit soon. Just saw my first facelifted C-Class, nice, but the one tailpipe in the back for a 4-banger would be enough to make the 6-cylinder mandatory for me.

I received this from mercedes today:

you can place an order for the 4.5 manual (brochure # P-6515-6912-13) through the Customer Assistance Center. Please call 888-454-9906 to connect with them."

I just received this manual and it is the correct comand 4.5 manual. I still need to find the updated voice manual.
