The dealer told me during the initial shakedown that the pipes do get a little louder in Sport mode. He didn't tell me the sound is piped in. So I am only impressing myself with the rumble and no one outside the car? LOL.

Before reading your post, i was almost gonna take my car to dealership to ask them why the door panels unlock/lock didn't work sometimes.
Haha now I know, cause I always press on the key twice when locking it.

Accessing the traffic cameras from the screen is nice if you hear of a slow down on the radio. It's nice to actually see it.

Traffic cams work fine while the car is moving. What you are seeing is a general warning that some of the MB apps such as dictating a text message require that the car be stopped.

Just reselect it will work (despite it being very distracting)

Traffic camera and weather are the 2 things you can do with the MB apps while driving. All other features require the car to be stopped.
Im kind of disappointed with the weather map, the one on the c400 has a lot more info and you can get a tighter zoom. This one is however faster and more reliable, as expected, since its much simpler.

'17 E300
Sirius radio buffer

I've got a 2018 E300 loaner and just noticed the satellite radio has a buffer. I can use the controls to pause a song or back up to the beginning. Haven't played with it much but I'm pretty sure my 2017 E300 doesn't have that. At least i've never seen it.

Think a software upgrade could add that? Think MB would roll out something new to the 2017 models?

That is a capability built into SiriusXM. One can use that feature when listening on a PC web browser as well.

My 2017 has this. When I first saw it, I thought it was a random person/scribble and thought I would have to remove it.

Welcome to Mercedes Benz! All windshields have a Carl Benz signature on the lower right hand windshield.

Trunk release in driver’s door

It will do more than just open the trunk when pulled. If the button is pressed, the trunk will close.

I discovered in ECO mode, if you are on the vehicle dynamics screen on the nav, and you see the car driving on those green lines, in coasting mode, those green lines with animate. Also, turning on the headlights will show the picture of the car with headlights.

In the trunk, there is a little cloth webbing handle that if you pull down you get a hook for shopping bags. Never saw that anywhere in the manual!
