2017 GLC 300 without Touchpad
Hello..
I picked up my wife's new GLC a couple weeks ago. At the time I noticed that it's missing a touchpad (mouse looking thing above the rotary dial). The salesman told me that it may be the new thing for the 2017 models. So I thought it's no biggy but start hearing that the car needs it for controlling the electronics including the navigation. Do any of you know why this particular model doesn't have touchpad and whether it makes the car deficient in anyway? My car is pretty basic with the SD card ready but no navigation. Thanks.

touch the button that looks like a car on the dash (vehicle settings)
then system settings
then select touchpad then select from there
its in comand manual page 23
i leave mine on all the time - i don't inadvertently hit it that often (though i do at times), and usually use the 2 finger swipe up then left/right swipe to change radio stations if find that easiest

The only use I've found for the touchpad ( and this can probably be done with the wheel) is while using the Navgation and going to a destination I can swipe right on the touchpad highlighting the exits and then swipe up to go through all exits to the end of the destination. Helps me find gas or rest areas ahead. Other than this makes a nice hand rest.
