might be way look it up by vin or I can pop your vin in WIS /ASRA EPC SEE WHAT COMES UP but that's for info on how fix things not really if need fixing. I also have Xentry which would tell me every code popping but I would need your car plugged in. I'm sure there's easy find on website with just the vin or call your dealer give him the vin they should be able tell you.

find xentry online install then get good c6 connector Taxtrix makes cheap one with open port you can connect car and that'll give you dealer level access to codes then armed that proceed to next steps depending on codes. U can find online although pirating software is illegal it exists. If your worried on virus run it only on lold laptop with nothing you going hook up to car or set up virtual. Anyways that should get you started

Hi all, my name is Terry and in the process of purchasing a new GLE 400d, this will be my first venture into the MB world so any tips would be welcome 👍🏻 Been a JLR man for the past decade or so, so I hope I can get used to the little quirks quickly like not trying to put in neutral instead of turning the wipers on 😂
Car is 3/4’s of the way across the pond at the moment so hopefully only a couple more weeks wait.

I love Mercedes-Benz but I'm going be quite honest I bought CLA 35 OR 45 ADBE IT WAS HELL ON EARTH . THERE ARE some corner cuttings going on be prepared some cars are even shipping with manual seat control . Imagine paying 60k-100k and using your hands move your seats wth Mercedes-Benz . Then they advertise 2023 EQA or whatever. Dear Mercedes please build one good car this year before you try tackle any future builds. In fact they should delay all builds and make sure that corner cuts not;:: uMy advice make sure the headunit and every single component you paid for is in the car and the right one. Unfortunately unless you have Xentry like me It's difficult tell what parts they used to cut corners. If you have specific questions regarding your model I can look it up on my software suite WIS /ASRA EPC .
PS IF YOU WANT upgrade little things don't pay most of them you can do yourself . Minor ones

Thank, will do.
went for the prem +, but know there are things not included anymore, like the climate seats and HUD etc, even though a Velar I had, had the HUD, my current vehicle doesn’t so I’ve gotten used to not having it again, so hopefully won’t be an issue, just found it odd the coupe comes with it even though made in the same place 🤔

Won’t miss the HUD, I’ve had a couple of years without so used to not having it, what I will miss is the thump of a V8 when I mash the loud peddle, although to be fair, I’ve gone for the diesel for the cruising ability coupled with fuel economy, plus I might hold on to my license a bit longer 😉

New guy with an old member

Hi, wanted to check in and say hello. I'm in here trying to educate myself on the GT coupe. I'm looking to pick up a nice '18-'20 GTS. I've had to get off of my bikes due to a brain tumor operation, so looking to add some good, noisy, fun back in my life.
