E Class (W212) USB hub
I want to put a USB hub onto the USB port in my centre armrest but when I do and connect anything to the hub ports they are not recognised. Anyone know the reason for this? Anything else connected directly to the car USB port works fine. Any ideas appreciated.

The system that reads the USBs is probably not smart enough to recognize multiple "drives". (When you plug a thumb drive into a computer it sets it as a drive. If you plug in multiple it assigns each as its own drive. The Mercedes system is probably not capable of doing this.) I could be wrong, that's just what I'm suspecting.
