Are you sure, I thought it came from a Trabant.

The legendary but oft-discounted (despised?) Trabant.

I mean, everything is getting bigger nowadays, C Class grows to previous gen E-Class size, E-Class grows to previous gen S-Class size, phones are growing, even the Mini became Mini Extra Large. https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod....317xw,0.442xh

I am kind of disappointed that Mercedes removed the sunglasses holders from the later models! I was really frustrated with the vibration sounds, so I literally just made it so the lenses face the opening and the vibration has gone away. I am guessing that this may not work for all sunglasses models, but worked for me!

Could it be because they couldn't solve the rattle (most likely cost cutting, and those who have MBUX interior assistant, it will take its place anyways).

As previously mentioned by another forum member, a sunglass holder clip from amazon helps.

My preferred gesture is to activate my massage seats. I also just learned that the gesture control will activate the most recent massage setting. I prefer Wave so I have that one set up for gesture control.
Funny - I could have written this post! I also prefer the Wave massage and have my gesture set for that (as is the Passenger gesture, in case my husband is driving my car and I’m on the other side! My sunglasses, which I rarely use, are in the center console between the seats.

Is there one I can add?
I think it was for cars that had that gimmicky interior motion detector, so if you put your hand over the passenger side the passenger map light would turn on.

Not just a gimmick. I love that feature. If I have to reach over to get something from my handbag, I love that it is lit up for me.

Me too. I use mine to turn on my seat massage with a quick two-finger flick.
